A new fluorenone based soluble polymer, namely poly(2,7-bis-(3,3-dihexyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yI)-fluoren-9-one) (PPFP), containing propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT) as a donor and fluorenone (FO) as an acceptor group is highlighted. Electrochemical polymerization of 2,7bis-(3,3-dihexyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yI)-fluoren-9-one (PFP) was achieved in dichloromethane/acetonitrile mixture with 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate via potential cycling. The polymer shows an electrochromic behavior, a color change from orange to dark blue during oxidation with a high coloration efficiency (422 cm(2)/C at 684 nm) and orange to yellow during reduction with high optical and electrochemical stability as compared to its close analogues, in addition it is found to be both p and n dopable. Furthermore, this soluble polymer exhibits fluorescent properties (the emission of orange light (578 nm) in THF solution).

A new p and n dopable selenophene derivative and its electrochromic properties Ardahan, Gülben; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2008) A novel electrically conducting polymer, poly(2-dodecyl-4,7-di(selenophen-2-yl)benzotriazole) (Poly(SBT)), containing selenophene as a strong donor and benzotriazole as a strong acceptor group was synthesized by electrochemical polymerization. Homopolymerization and copolymerization ( in the presence of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) ) was achieved in acetonitrile/ dichloromethane(95/5 v/v) with 0.1M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6). The electrochemical and optical properties of homopolyme...
A blue to highly transmissive soluble electrochromic polymer based on poly(3,4-propylenedioxyselenophene) with a high stability and coloration efficiency Ozkut, Merve Icli; Atak, Samed; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; CİHANER, ATİLLA (2011-01-01) The optical and electrochemical properties of a regioregular and soluble alkylenedioxyselenophene-based electrochromic polymer, namely poly(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-selenopheno[3,4-b][1,4] dioxepine (PProDOS-C-10), which is synthesized by electrochemical polymerization, are highlighted. It is noted that this unique polymer has a low band gap (1.58 eV) and is exceptionally stable under ambient atmospheric conditions. Polymer films retain 97% of their electroactivity after 40 000 cycles. The percentage tran...
High optical transparency in all redox states: Synthesis and characterization of benzimidazole and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene containing conjugated polymers Zaifoglu, Buket; Sendur, Merve; Unlu, Naime Akbasoglu; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2012-12-15) The synthesis of a novel monomer based on benzimidazole and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene moieties, 4'-tert-butyl-4,7-di(thieno[3,2-b]thiophen-2-yl)spiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1'-cyclohexane] (TTBI), and its electrochemical polymerization are reported. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies of the polymer were investigated. The high optical transparency and low coloration efficiency during oxidation and reduction processes make the polymer a great candidate for hole-injection layers in light-emitting dio...
A unique processable green polymer with a transmissive oxidized state for realization of potential RGB-based electrochromic device applications Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2008-07-23) Realization of commercial RGB-based polymer electrochromic-device applications can only be achieved by processable materials that possess three complementary colors in the reduced state and are transparent in the oxidized state. This report highlights the synthesis of the first processable green polymer with a transmissive oxidized state. The polymer revealed superior optical contrast in the visible region with fast switching times and robust stability. Hence, this material is the outstanding candidate for ...
A New Amperometric Biosensor for Diamine: Use of a Conducting Polymer Layer Al Layla, Alaa M. T.; Turkarslan, Ozlem; KURBANOĞLU, SEVİNÇ; Sulaiman, Saddalah T.; Al-Flayeh, K. A.; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2013-01-01) Diamine oxidase (DAO) from Porcine kidney E.C. 1.4.3.6 is used for the amperometric detection of biogenic amines. Immobilization of enzyme is performed via entrapment in conducting poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) during electrochemical polymerization. The responses of the enzyme electrodes are measured via monitoring current at +0.7 V. In order to minimize the common interferences, an over oxidized film of polypyrrole is introduced to the electrode. Thickness of the film, kinetic parameters, substrate spe...
