Three conjugated random copolymers comprising benzodithiophene and thiophene as the donor units and benzooxadiazole as the acceptor unit, spaced with thiophene and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene π-bridges, were designed and synthesized. The effects of different linkers on the optical and electrochemical properties were investigated. The polymer containing a thieno[3,2-b]thiophene π-bridge revealed a red shifted absorption compared to its thiophene analogue. Morphological and photovoltaic properties of a polymer:fullerene blend film were investigated. The blend of one of the random copolymers (P2) and PC71BM ([6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester) revealed a photovoltaic performance efficiency of 5.17% due to the high short-circuit current density and fill factor.

2,1,3-Benzooxadiazole, thiophene and benzodithiophene based random copolymers for organic photovoltaics: thiophene versus thieno[3,2-b]thiophene as pi-conjugated linkers Goker, SEZA; HIZALAN, Gonul; AKTAS, Ece; KUTKAN, Seda; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016-12-01) Three conjugated random copolymers comprising benzodithiophene and thiophene as the donor units and benzooxadiazole as the acceptor unit, spaced with thiophene and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene pi-bridges, were designed and synthesized. The effects of different linkers on the optical and electrochemical properties were investigated. The polymer containing a thieno[3,2-b]thiophene pi-bridge revealed a red shifted absorption compared to its thiophene analogue. Morphological and photovoltaic properties of a polymer:f...
Syntheses and Optical Properties of Perfluorophenyl Containing Benzimidazole Derivatives: The Effect of Donor Units ILERI, Merve; HACIOGLU, Serife O.; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2015-07-03) Synthesis of two novel donor - acceptor - donor type monomers containing benzimidazole as the acceptor unit and thiophene and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) as the donor units were performed. 2-(Perfluorophenyl)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole and 4,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-2-(perfluorophenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole were synthesized successfully and polymerized electrochemically. The electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies of the polymers were studied. The effec...
Synthesis and electrochemical properties of a new benzimidazole derivative as the acceptor unit in donor-acceptor-donor type polymers OZELCAGLAYAN, Ali Can; SENDUR, Merve; AKBASOGLU, Naime; APAYDIN, Dogukan Hazar; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2012-04-15) A new benzimidazole unit, 4'-(tert-butyl)spiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1'-cyclohexane] was synthesized and coupled with different donor units like 3-hexylthiophene and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) via Stille coupling. The donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type monomers, 4'-(tert-butyl)-4,7-bis(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)spiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1'-cyclohexane] (BIHT) and 4'-(tert-butyl)-4,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)spiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1'-cyclohexane] (BIED) were electrochemically polymerize...
