A series of new push-pull chromophores were synthesized from electron-rich 4-(N,N-dialkylanilino) acetylenes and 2,3,5,6-tetrahalo-1,4-benzoquinones. The reactivity of the latter differs substantially from that of the previously investigated 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). The transformation with fluoranil gave orange-colored, bis-donor-substituted chromophores with a tricyclic, cyclobutene-fused dihydrobenzofuranone core. In contrast, the reaction with chioranil yielded mono donor-substituted, blue 1,4-benzoquinone-based chromophores, which were further reacted with tertiary amines to form bis-donor-substituted push-pull systems. The structures of the new chromophores were confirmed by X-ray analysis, and mechanisms for their formation are proposed. They feature intense intramolecular charge-transfer bands in the visible region, and their optoelectronic properties were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and computational analysis.

Enzyme immobilization in a photosensitive conducting polymer bearing azobenzene in the main chain
AK, METİN; Yildiz, Huseyin Bekir; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-07-01)
A new photosensitive and thermosensitive monomer, namely bis(4-(3-thienyl ethylene)-oxycarbonyl)diazobenzene (TDAZO), was synthesized. The photochemical and thermal cis-trans isomerization of the monomer has been investigated. The rate constants of the photoisomerization of TDAZO in ACN and DCM were 0.195 and 0.308 min(-1), respectively. For spectroelectrochemical investigation and enzyme immobilization application, TDAZO copolymerized with thiophene and pyrrole. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical p...

Random copolymers of 3-methyl thienylmethacrylate and methyl methacrylate were synthesized via free radical polymerization. Electro-copolymerizations of random copolymers with thiophene and/or pyrrole were carried out in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB), water-p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) solvent-electrolyte couples. Oxidative polymerization of thiophene functionalized random copolymer was also achieved by constant current electrolysis and chemical polymerization. The characteriza...

Benzodithiophene and thienopyrroledione containing two random copolymers were designed and synthesized. Electrochemical and optical studies prove that these copolymers could be candidates for organic solar cells applications. The HOMO and LUMO values were determined using cyclic voltammetry as -5.53 and -3.43 eV for P1 and -5.54 and -3.53 eV for P2, respectively. The optical band gaps of the polymers were calculated as 2.10 and 2.01 eV using UV-VIS spectroscopy for P1 and P2, correspondingly. Bulk-heterojun...
