Two novel conjugated near-infrared (NIR) absorbing donor-acceptor type copolymers comprising benzodithiophene as the donor and [1,2,5]chalcogenazolo[3,4-f]-benzo[1,2,3]triazole derivatives as the acceptors, spaced with thiophene as the pi-bridge, were designed and synthesized via Stille polycondensation reaction. The effect of acceptor strength on optoelectronic properties was targeted and investigated. Branched alkyl chains (the extended 2-octyl-1-dodecyl alkyl chain; -C8C12) were introduced to 5H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4 ',5 ':4,5]benzo[1,2-c][1,2,5]thiadiazole and 5H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4 ',5 ':4,5]benzo[1,2-c][1,2,5]selenadiazole for enhanced solubility of polymers which ease the processability hence device constructions. The strongly electron-withdrawing units lead to a substantial change in the absorption properties via promotion of the intramolecular charge transfer band alongside the pi-pi* transition. The resultant soluble polymers were characterized via cyclic voltammetry to determine highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels as -5.00 and -3.92 eV for PSBT and -4.86 and -4.04 eV for PSeBT, respectively. Electronic band gaps of the copolymers were calculated as 1.08 eV for PSBT and 0.82 eV for PSeBT, respectively. NIR absorbing copolymers were used to construct electrochromic devices.

Dikbıyık, Dilan Ece; Çırpan, Ali; Hızalan Özsoy, Gönül; Department of Chemistry (2022-1-28)
In this study, a series of the Donor -π bridge- Acceptor type conjugated polymers (PT1, PT2, and PT3) were designed and synthesized via Pd-catalyzed Stille polycondensation reactions. Synthesized polymers were used as donor moieties and blended with acceptor unit PC71BM to form the active layer of the bulk heterojunction organic solar cell (BHJ OSC). Polymers contain electron-deficient benzothiadiazole (BT) as acceptor unit and electron-rich benzodithiophene (BDT) as donor unit. Moreover, thiophene [T], sel...

4,7-Bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-2-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (BImBEd) was synthesized via Stille coupling reaction of 4,7-dibromo-2-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (BImB) with monostannylated 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT). In order to figure out the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the amine bond of the imidazole ring and the oxygen of the EDOT molecule, different amounts of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and concentrated sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions were added duri...
