Electrochemical and optical properties of substituted phthalimide based monomers and electrochemical polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) analogue

2019-02-01
A new series of donor-acceptor-donor type trimeric monomers bearing substituted phthalimide units as acceptor units and thiophene and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) as donor units was synthesized and characterized. The strength of acceptor units and intramolecular charge transfer between donor and acceptor units were investigated by using electrochemical and optical methods. The main advantage of phthalimide unit over other acceptor units is the ease of its functionalizability. Thus, utilizing this property, a phthalimide derivative (E2P-POSS) bearing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) cage was introduced successfully with EDOT and polymerized electrochemically. The corresponding electroactive polymer, PE2P-POSS, has a band gap of 1.72 eV and is an electrochromic polymer: gray when neutralized and eggplant purple when oxidized.

A series of trimeric monomers bearing thiophene donor units and fluorinated analogues of benzothiadiazole acceptor units was synthesized via donor-acceptor-donor approach and polymerized electrochemically in order to investigate the effect of fluorine atom on electro-optical properties of both monomers and their corresponding polymers. All monomers exhibited solvatochromic and fluorescent properties. The introduction of fluorine atom into the conjugated backbone increased the oxidation potentials. Upon movi...

The reasonable selection and optimization of donor-acceptor units allow the band gap tuning as well as the light absorption ability and the energy levels of the photoactive layer of Bulk Heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. In this work, a series of new quinoxaline and selenophene based benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b'] dithiophene (BDT) bearing conjugated polymers were synthesized via Pd (0) catalyzed Stille polycondensation reaction. The 2-(2-octyldodecyl) selenophene ring was attached to 4th and 8th positions of phenyl r...
