In this study, two isomerically pure perylene tetracarboxylic propargyl ester derivatives (P4 and P11) were synthesized and characterized to be used as intermediate compounds for bipolar perylene derivatives. The synthesized intermediates are extremely valuable and versatile building blocks, and their optical, photophysical, and electrochemical properties can be further tuned by the attachments of suitable electron-donating groups at the peri or bay positions. Electron-donor azidofluorene was combined with the electron-acceptor perylene tetracarboxylic propargyl ester derivatives (P4 and P11) and new D-A type bipolar molecules (P6 and P12) were obtained. Photophysical, electrochemical, and thermal properties of the synthesized molecules were studied. UV-Vis and emission spectra, fluorescence quantum yield, lifetime, and HOMO-LUMO energy levels were determined and discussed. The synthesized molecules have a great potential to be utilized in organic photonic applications such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) owing to their charge transfer and light-harvesting abilities.

Synthesis of Bishomoinositols and an Entry for Construction of a Substituted 3-Oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane Skeleton BARAN, ARİF; Bekarlar, Merve; Aydin, Gokay; NEBİOĞLU, MEHMET; ŞAHİN, Ertan; Balcı, Metin (2012-02-03) 1,3,3a,7a-Tetrahydro-2-benzofuran was used as key compound for the synthesis of various bishomoinositol derivatives. The diene was subjected to an epoxidation reaction for further functionalization of the diene unit. The bisepoxide obtained was submitted to a ring-opening reaction with acid in the presence of water. Various bishomoinositols were synthesized. However, when the reaction was carried out in the presence of acetic anhydride, a substituted 3-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane skeleton was formed. The mechan...
Synthesis and structure of cyclopropano-annelated homosesquinorbornene derivatives containing pyramidalized double bonds: Evidence for the sterical effect of a cyclopropyl. group on the degree of C=C double-bond pyramidalization Saracoglu, N; Talaz, O; Azizoglu, A; Watson, WH; Balcı, Metin (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2005-07-08) endo- and exo-2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-1H-1,4-methanobenzoeyeloheptene-7-carboxylic acid ethyl esters have been synthesized, and their Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions with maleic anhydride, dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and singlet oxygen have been investigated. The X-ray analysis of four adducts indicated the pyramidalization of the central double bond. Density functional theory calculations on the isolated products and model compounds showed excellent agreement between the experimental and theoretical det...
Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of fluorene and benzimidazole containing novel conjugated polymers: Effect of alkyl chain length on electrochemical properties Namal, Imge; Ozelcaglayan, Ali Can; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-01) The synthesis and characterization of two donor acceptor type conjugated polymers were investigated. Electrochemical properties were examined by cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry and kinetic studies. The increase in the alkyl chain length attached to the fluorene unit was investigated in terms of electrochemical properties. The synthesis was carried out via Stille coupling of 4,7-dibromo-4'-(tert-butyl)spiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1' cyclohexane] and 2,5-bis(tributylstannyl)thiophene with 9,9-dihexyl...
Synthesis, characterization and photovoltaic properties of benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole based conjugated polymers for organic solar cells Karakurt, Oğuzhan; Çırpan, Ali; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Department of Chemistry (2021-1-22) In this thesis, six conjugated polymers were synthesized by coupling of 2,1,3- benzoxadiazole derivatives with donor groups via Stille polycondensation reactions. Moreover, the effect of molecular weight for P1 and P2, effect of position of alkyl chain for P5 and effect of π-bridge groups for P6 which are selenophene and thiophene on optical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties were investigated. Also, modifications on alkyl chains of P3 and P4 were performed to increase their functionalities via p...
Synthesis and characterization of conducting copolymers of menthyl ester of 3-thiophene acetic acid with pyrrole Kiralp, S; Alkan, S; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Cianga, I; Yagci, Y (2003-01-01) A new thiophene derivative containing menthyl group (MM) was synthesized and polymerized via chemical and electrochemical (constant current) methods. Polymers obtained and MM itself were used to synthesize copolymers with pyrrole under conditions of constant potential electrolyses. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), thermal analysis (DSC, TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were performed for the characterization of samples.
