Four new alternating narrow band-gap copolymers containing benzodithiophene, 4,8-dithiophen-2-yl-benzo[1,2-c;4,5-c'-bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole, 4,9-bis(thiophen-2-yl)-6,7-di(2-ethylhexyl)-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-g]quinoxaline, 5,8-dibromo-2,3-bis(5-octylthiophen-2-yl)quinoxaline, and 4,7-bis(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2,5] thiadiazole units are synthesized under Stille reaction conditions. The structures, molecular masses, and physical properties of the copolymers are studied via H-1 NMR spectroscopy, GPC, cyclic voltammetry, and thermomechanical and thermogravimetric analyses. The polymers show solubility and a broad absorption region (with the band gap in the range from 0.81 to 1.53 eV). All of the polymers are photostable in air, and their levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital vary from -4.98 to -5.30 eV. Polymer solar cells based on these copolymers as donors and fullerene PC60BM as an acceptor show open-circuit voltages in the range 0.16-0.61 V, and the efficiencies of the devices are in the range 0.02-0.49%.

Synthesis and electrochromic properties of conducting copolymers of dioxocino-and dithiocino- quinoxalines with bithiophene Beyazyıldırım, Şenize; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2005) Two new monomers; 2-benzyl-5,12-dihydro-2Hpyrrolo[ 3̕,4̕:2,3][1,4]dioxocino[6,7-b]quinoxaline (DPOQ) and 5,12- dihydrothieno[3̕,4̕:2,3][1,4]dithiocino[6,7-b]quinoxaline (DTTQ), were synthesized. The chemical structures of the monomers were characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS). Copolymer of DPOQ with bithiophene (BT) was synthesized via potentiostatic electrochemical polymerization in acetonitrile (ACN)-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluo...
Synthesis, electrochromic characterization and solar cell application of thiophene bearing alternating copolymers with azobenzene and coumarin subunits Kalay, Hüseyin; Yiğit, Deniz; Hizalan, Gonul; Güllü, Mustafa; Depci, Tolga; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacioglu, Serife O. (Informa UK Limited, 2020-08-01) In this study, azobenzene and coumarin functionalized thiophene comprising two copolymers (poly (4-((3"'-hexyl-[2,2 ':5 ',2 '':5 '',2"'-tetrathiophene] - 3 '-yl)methoxy) - 2H-chromen-2-one (P1) and poly (1-(4-((4"'-hexyl-[2,2 ': 5 ', 2 '': 5 '', 2"' - tetrathiophene] - 3 '-yl) methoxy) phenyl) -2-phenyldiazene) (P2)), were designed and synthesized according to the donor-acceptor (D-A) approach to investigate their electrochemical, optical and photovoltaic behaviors. Among the various copolymerization method...
A New Amperometric Alcohol Oxidase Biosensor Based on Conducting Polymer of (4,7-Dithien-2-yl-2, 1,3-benzothiadiazole) Tanriverdi, Simla; Tuncagil, Sevinc; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Informa UK Limited, 2012-01-01) Amperometric biosensors based on alcohol oxidase (AOX) immobilized on the conducting polymers of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) and 4,7-dithien-2-yl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (TBTD) were constructed. Proposed biosensors were characterized using ethanol as the substrate and the responses were measured. Kinetic parameters, I-max, K-m and sensitivity were determined for the biosensors with or without TBTD. Optimization studies for TBTD thickness, PEDOT amount and pH were carried out. The biosensing capacity w...
Synthesis and characterization of thiophene functionalized polystyrene copolymers and their electrochemical properties Sahin, E; Camurlu, P; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Mercore, VM; Cianga, I; Yagci, Y (Wiley, 2005-12-01) Thiophene functionalized polystyrene samples (TFPS) were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene, followed by Suzuki coupling with 3-thiophene (Th) boronic acid. Conducting graft polymer of TFPS with thiophene was achieved at 1.5 V in tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate/dichloromethane (TBAFB/DM) by electrochemical methods. Spectroelectrochemical analysis of the resulting copolymers [P(TFPS-co-Th)] reflected electronic transitions at 449, 721 and 880 nm, revealing pi - pi* tra...
CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF THE HIGH-TEMPERATURE FORMS OF LN(2)SI(2)O(7) (LN=LA, CE, PR, ND, SM) REVISITED TAS, AC; AKINC, M (Wiley, 1994-11-01) The crystal structures of the high-temperature forms of light lanthanide pyrosilicates (disilicates), i.e., (La-to-Sm)(2)Si2O7, have been studied with powder X-ray diffraction on the quenched samples. These compounds have monoclinic structures with the space group P2(1)/n rather than orthorhombic structures. In the research of the last two decades, the smallness of the monoclinic angles (90.1 degrees-91 degrees) has possibly obscured the revelation of the true structural nature of these compounds. New XRD p...
