This thesis deals with the design, synthesis and characterization of conjugated polymers P1 and P2 that have potential application in organic solar cell. Polymer design was accomplished by using band gap engineering method. According to that, benzodithiophene (BDT) and silafluorene were chosen as donor groups in P1 and P2 respectively. The acceptor parts were the same for both polymers including benzotriazole (BTZ) and thiazole group. According to electrochemical studies both polymers were having n-dopable and p-dopable characters. Highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels of P1 were determined as -5.63 eV and -3.60 eV, while P2 had HOMO and LUMO energy levels -6.00 eV and -3.58 eV respectively. Optical band gap of P1 and P2 were calculated as 2.10 eV and 1.74 eV accordingly. Device construction was carried out with Bulk Heterojunction method and PCBM was used as the acceptor due to its suitable acceptor properties in polymeric solar cell applications. The best PCE was obtained from the device containing P1/PCBM 1:4 (w/w) ratio as 0.45 % under standard AM 1.5 G at 100 mW/cm2.

Synthesis of bistriphenylamine- and benzodithiophene-based random conjugated polymers for organic photovoltaic applications CETIN, Asli; ISTANBULLUOGLU, Cagla; HACIOGLU, Serife Ozdemir; CEVHER, ŞEVKİ CAN; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (2017-11-15) In this study, donor-acceptor random polymers containing benzotriazole acceptor and bistriphenylamine and benzodithiophene donors, P1 and P2, were successfully synthesized by Stille coupling polymerization. The effect of bistriphenylamine moiety and thiophene -conjugated linker on electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical, and optical behaviors of the polymers were investigated. Optoelectronic properties and photovoltaic performance of the polymers were examined under the illumination of AM 1.5G, 100 mWcm(-2)...
Investigation the effect of π bridge and side chain on photovoltaic properties of benzodithiophene and quinoxaline based conjugated polymers Taşkaya Aslan, Sultan; Alemdar, Eda; Hacıefendioğlu, Tuğba; UDUM, YASEMİN; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yıldırım, Erol; Çırpan, Ali (2022-04-15) © 2022 Elsevier LtdA series of donor–acceptor type alternative polymers containing 2D-BDT and 1D-BDT as the donors and quinoxaline as the acceptor were successfully obtained by Stille coupling reactions. Synthesized polymers containing selenophene and thiophene as π-bridges in their backbones and 2-ethylhexylselenophene and 2-ethylhexylalkoxy side groups on the BDT structure were named as P1, P2, P3 and P4, respectively. Eonsetox and Eonsetred were investigated for P1, P2, P3, and P4, respectively. Onset ox...
Studies towards synthesis of urea containing helical polymers Çalışgan, Gizem; Akdağ, Akın; Doğan, Özdemir; Department of Chemistry (2016) This thesis deals with design and synthesis of chiral polyurea type polymers. These polymers were analyzed with molecular mechanics that they could take a helical form. The polymers are polyurea type polymers and ureas are synthesized by treating isocyanates with amines. Starting from tartaric acid, ((4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3- dioxolane-4,5diyl)dimethaneamine was synthesized. The other diamine was naturally occuring L-lysine. These diamine functionalized compounds were treated with pphenylene diisocyanate sy...
Syntheses and characterization of benzotriazole, thienopyrroledione and benzodithiophene containing conjugated random terpolymers for organic solar cells Göksu, Kardelen.; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Chemistry (2019) Two random terpolymers, PBTS and PBTSe were designed and synthesized successfully as the donor units for polymer organic solar cell. Desired terpolymers contain alkoxy-benzodithiophene as an electron rich unit and Noctylthieno[3,4,c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) as the electron deficient group. Furthermore, thiophene and selenophene π bridges were introduced to benzotriazole unit as the acceptor moieties into copolymer backbone. The properties of synthesized terpolymers solar cell device were investigated by opti...
Development of acyl anion precursors and their applications Reis, Ömer; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2005) This thesis presents the development of new acyl anion precursors and their applications. The main concern of this thesis was to make use of acyl anion precursors in catalytic bond forming reactions. Toward this aim, previously known cyanide ion catalyzed cleavage of benzils was investigated in scope and efficiency in unsymmetrical benzoin condensation. Although benzils were proved to be useful entities as acyl anion precursors in benzoin condensation, they suffer some major drawbacks. Therefore acylphospho...
