Synthesis and electropolymerization of donor-acceptor-donor type monomers based on azobenzene-substituted thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione acceptors

2021-12-01
By using donor-acceptor-donor approach, a new series of photo responsive and electroactive trimeric monomers, namely (E)-5-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenyl)-1,3-di(thiophen-2-yl)-4H-thieno[3,4- c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (T-2-AB ), (E)-1,3-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-5-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenyl)- 4H-thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (E-2-AB ) and (E)-1,3-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4- b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-5-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenyl)-4H-thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (P-2-AB ), was synthesized and characterized. The oxidation potential of the monomers was controlled by the strength of donor units and the following trend was observed for them: Eox (T-2-AB ) > E-ox (P-2-AB ) > E-ox (E-2-AB ). Also, a similar behavior was observed for their band gap values: 2.53 eV for T-2-AB , 2.18 eV for E-2-AB and 2.28 eV for P-2-AB . The monomers were polymerized successfully via electrochemical methods in order to give electrochromic ambipolar conjugated polymers bearing narrow optical band gaps: 1.71 eV, 1.54 eV and 1.68 eV for PT2-AB, PE2-AB , and PP2-AB, respectively. Also, the polymer films are stable and robust. Moreover, the three monomers and soluble PP(2-)AB polymer exhibited trans to cis photo-isomerization upon irradiation with UV light. In addition, the photoluminescence intensity of the monomers in toluene was found to decrease with increasing acid concentration, which makes them potential candidates to be amenable as pH sensors.

Turac, Ersen; Sahmetlioglu, Ertugrul; Demircan, Aydin; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2012-11-05)
Ferrocene-substituted conducting polymer namely poly(trans-1-(4-methyl-3'-thienyl)-2-(ferrocenyl)ethene-co-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) [P(MTFE-co-EDOT)] was synthesized and its electrochromic properties were studied. Monomer, MTFE, was obtained using 2-(ferrocenyl)ethene and 3-methyl-4-bromothiophene. The structure of monomer was determined via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR techniques. The copolymer was synthesized using this monomer and EDOT. The resulting copolymer P(...
Target identification using ISAR imaging techniques
Atılgan, Erdinç Levent; Ünver, Baki Zafer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
A proper time-frequency transform technique suppresses the blurring and smearing effect of the time-varying Doppler shift on the target image. The conventional target imaging method uses the Fourier transform for extracting the Doppler shift from the received radar pulse. Since the Doppler shift is timevarying for rotating targets, the constructed images will be degraded. In this thesis, the Doppler shift information required for the Range-Doppler image of the target is extracted by using high resolution ti...
Employment of cycle-spinning in deep learning
Uzun, Ülkü; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2022-11-29)
Cycle-spinning (CS) method has been used in wavelet domain processes such as signal denoising, and image enhancement with great success. In this thesis, CS is adapted to be used in deep-learning algorithms, particularly it is integrated into GANbased raindrop removal and CNN based image classification, and object detection models. Experiments on commonly-used architectures, such as AlexNet, DenseNet, ResNet, YOLOv5, EffcientDet, CenterNet, and TensorFlow Object Detection (TFOD) show that the application of ...
An improved method of photometric stereo using local shape from shading
Sakarya, U; Erkmen, İsmet (Elsevier BV, 2003-10-01)
This paper presents an improved photometric stereo (PS) method by integrating it with a local shape from shading (SFS) algorithm. PS produces the initial estimate of image for the global accuracy and also provides the recovery of albedo, SFS supplies the more detailed information within each homogeneous area. The quality of depth obtained by integrating PS and SFS is compared with the real depth using absolute dept error function, and the improvement ranging from 2.3 to 14% over PS is obtained.
Capturing and detection of MCF-7 breast cancer cells with a CMOS image sensor
Musayev, Javid; Altiner, Caglar; Adiguzel, Yekbun; Külah, Haluk; Eminoglu, Selim; Akın, Tayfun (2014-08-15)
This paper presents a CMOS image sensor with a 32 x 32 pixel array for cell capture, detection, and quantification. Pixels measuring 15 pm x 15 mu m have a modified structure, suitable for post-CMOS electroless gold plating, which enables surface activation for cell capture without the need for any intermediate layer. This structure also increases the detection probability of captured cells, even when cells are much smaller than the pixel, owing to a special light mask implemented on pixels. Cells as small ...
