Block copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St) were obtained by the combination of two different free radical polymerization processes, namely photoinduced and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) methods. In the first step, hydroxy terminated polymers were prepared by photoinitiated polymerization of MMA in the presence of N,N'-dimethylethanolamine and benzophenone as the initiating system and subsequently converted to bromine ended poly(methyl methacrylate) by the esterification of the resulting polymer with 2-bromo-propionylbromide. The functionalized polymers thus prepared were used as initiators in ATRP of St, in bulk, in conjunction with CuBr/2,2'-bipyridine as catalyst. The GPC and H-1-NMR analysis, and the kinetic studies indicate a fully controlled/"living" radical polymerization which results in the formation of block copolymers with narrow polydispersities.

Synthesis of conducting graft copolymers of 2-(N-pyrrolyl)ethylvinyl ether with pyrrole Bengu, B; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Kalaycioglu, E (2001-01-01) 2-(N-pyrrolyl)ethylvinyl ether (2-NEVE) was synthesized from 2-chloroethylvinyl ether (2-CEVE) via a phase catalysis reaction. Cyclic voltammetric studies were carried out to check for the electroactivity of 2-NEVE. Poly(2-(N-pyrrolyl)ethylvinyl ether) [poly(2-NEVE)] was synthesized via chemical methods. Graft copolymers of pyrrole and 2-NEVE were synthesized by electrochemical methods. The chemical structures of 2-NEVE and poly(2-NEVE) were investigated by several spectroscopic methods. Graft copolymers we...
Synthesis and characterization of a bifunctional amido-thiophene monomer and its copolymer with thiophene and electrochemical properties AK, M; Çırpan, Ali; Yılmaz, Fatih; YAGCI, Y; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2005-05-01) A bifunctional amido-thiophene namely hexamethylene (bis-3-thiophene acetamide) (HMTA) was synthesized by the reaction of 3-thiophene acetic acid with hexamethylene diamine. Copolymerization in the presence of thiophene was achieved electrochemically in tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate/acetonitrile (TBAFB/AN). Spectroelectro-chemical analysis of the resulting copolymer [P(HMTA-co-Th)] reflected electronic transitions at 505 nm, 740 nm and similar to 1000 nm, revealing pi to pi* transition, polaron and b...
Synthesis of 1,2,3,5- tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives via 5-exo-dig type cyclization and stereoselective functionalisation of ferrocene derivatives Kayalar, Metin; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2005) A convenient and new method for the synthesis of 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives starting from 1,3,-dicarbonyl compounds through acid catalyzed cyclization reaction is described. Alkylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compound with propargyl bromide followed by one step cyclization with the introduction of primary amines in the presence of catalytic amount of triflouroacetic acid (TFA) affords the corresponding pyrrole derivatives in high yields. The investigations on the studies of developing a new meth...
Synthesis and characterization of thiophen-3-yl-acetic acid 4-pyrrol-1-yl-phenyl ester and its conducting polymers Bingöl, Bahar; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2003) Thiophen-3-yl acetic acid 4-pyrrol-1-yl phenyl ester (TAPE) monomer was synthesized by the reaction of thiophene acetic acid with thionyl chloride, and further reaction of thiophen-3-yl-acetyl chloride with 4-pyrrol-1-yl phenol. Electrochemical behavior of this monomer (TAPE) was determined by cyclic voltammetry. Homopolymers were achieved both by using electrochemical and chemical polymerization techniques. Copolymers of TAPE in the presence of bithiophene and pyrrole were synthesized by potentiostatic ele...
Conducting graft copolymers of pyrrole and thiophene with random copolymers of methyl methacrylate and 3-methylthienyl methacrylate Guner, Y; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hepuzer, Y; Yagci, Y (2004-08-01) 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...
