Electrochemical and optical properties of new soluble dithienylpyrroles based on azo dyes
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2009) Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, Fatih; Chemical Engineering
Two dithienylpyrroles based on azo dyes, namely 2,5'-dimethyl-[4-(2,5-di-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl)-phenyl]azobenzene (SNS-AB2) and 2,5'- dimethyloxy-[4-(2,5-di-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl]azobenzene (SNS-AB3), were synthesized and their corresponding polymers (PSNS-AB2 and PSNS-AB3) were successfully obtained via electropolymerization. The monomers have lower oxidation potentials (0.75 V and 0.80V vs. Ag/AgCl for SNS-AB2 and SNS-AB3, respectively) when compared to their analogous. Both monomers exhibited photoisomerism properties under irradiation at 360 nm. During the irradiation process, for example, the color of SNS-AB3 changes from yellow to greenish yellow. The electroactive polymer films have well defined and reversible redox couples with a good cycle stability in both aqueous and organic solutions. The polymer films also exhibited electrochromic behaviors; color changes from yellowish green to dark green for the PSNS-AB2 (lambda(max) = 435 nm and E-g = 2.31 eV) and from mustard color to green for PSNS-AB3 (lambda(max) = 430nm and E-g = 2.34 eV). Furthermore, the soluble polymers demonstrated different hues of yellow and green colors. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Ertan, Salih; Cihaner, Atilla; Cihaner, Atilla; Onal, Ahmet M.; Chemical Engineering
In this study, three new donor-acceptor-donor type monomers bearing 1,3-dibromo-5-(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-thieno [3,4-c]pyrrole- 4,6(5H)-dione (A) as an acceptor unit and thiophene, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and 3,3-didecy1-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepine (didecyl-ProDOT) as donor units were synthesized via Stille cross-coupling reaction and their electrochemical polymerization by repetitive cycling was reported. The electrochemical and optical properties of the monomers ((5-(2-ethyl-liexyl)-1,3-di(thienyl-2-yl)-4H-thienolr-3,4-cl pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (TAT), 1,3-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-1)] (1,4]dioicin-5-yl)-5-(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-thieno(3,4-c) pyrrole-4,6-(5H)-dione (EAE) and 1,3-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-1)111,41-dioxepin-6-yl)-5-(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-thieno[3,4-apyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (PAP)) and their corresponding polymers called PTAT, PEAE and PPAP were investigated and it was found that EDOT units containing monomer and polymer (EAE and PEAE) have lower oxidation potentials and lower band gap value as compared to didecyl-ProDOT and thiophene units containing monomers and polymers (PAP, TAT and PPAP, PTAT). Spectroelectrochemical investigations conducted on electrochemically obtained polymer films revealed that polymer films exhibited electrochromic behaviors: brick red to gray for PTAT, blue/violet to highly sky blue for PEAE and blue to highly light blue for PPAP in their neutral and oxidized states, respectively. Moreover, PAP was also polymerized chemically using FeC13 as an oxidizing agent. Both chemically and electrochemically obtained PPAP were found to be soluble in some organic solvents and their dichloromethane solutions can be reversibly oxidized and reduced using antimony pentachloride and hydrazine hydrate solutions, respectively.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes appended conjugated soluble polymers based on thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6,dione acceptor unit
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Cihaner, Atilla; Cihaner, Atilla; Onal, Ahmet M.; Chemical Engineering
A series of new donor-acceptor-donor type fluorescent molecules incorporating thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) as the acceptor unit were synthesized. TPD acceptor unit was modified with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) cages and integrated with thiophene and alkylenedioxythiophene derivatives (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT)) using Stille coupling reaction. The monomers, T-2-POSS, E-2-POSS, and P-2-POSS, were polymerized successfully via electrochemical and chemical polymerization techniques. As a fingerprint of D-A-D monomers, all monomers showed dual band characteristics due to intramolecular charge transfer. Soluble polymers exhibited reversible electrochromic responses electrochemically and chemically with fast switching times and high coloration efficiencies. E-2-POSS and its polymer PE2-POSS exhibited the lowest oxidation potential and band gap values as compared to their thiophene and ProDOT analogs. Also, P-2-POSS and its chemically obtained fluorescent polymer PP2-POSS-C represented high sensitivity towards Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions, which makes them potential candidates to be amenable for use in ion sensing.

(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2019) Cihaner, Atilla; Cihaner, Atilla; Ozkut, Merve Icli; Chemical Engineering
A new dithienosilole and 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene based monomer, namely 2,6-bis(3,3-di-decyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b] [1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-4,4-dioctyl-4H-silolo[3,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene, was synthesized via palladium catalyzed Stille Coupling Reaction and then polymerized electrochemically in an electrolyte solution of 0.1 M lithium perchlorate dissolved in a mixture of dichloromethane and acetonitrile (1:1, v:v). Due to the presence of long alkyl chains on donor and acceptor units, the corresponding polymer was soluble in common organic solvents like tetrahydrofuran, toluene, hexane and dichloromethane. Polymer has both fluorescent and electrochromic properties. Fluorescent polymer emits a reddish pink at 585 nm when excited at 480 nm and the quantum yield was found as 14%. On the other hand, the electrochromic polymer film changed its color from purple to transmissive cyan with 0.65 s switching time upon moving from neutral state to oxidized state and the film has a coloration efficiency of 501 cm(2)/C as well as 60% optical contrast. The optical band gap of the polymer was also calculated as 1.83 eV with a maximum wavelength at 577 nm.

A new electrochromic copolymer based on dithienylpyrrole and EDOT
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Tirkeş, Seha; Cihaner, Atilla; Tirkes, Seha; Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, Fatih; Chemical Engineering
A new compound, namely diethyl 2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3,4-dicarboxylate (1), was copolymerized with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) via electrochemical method. The copolymer exhibits multicolor electrochromic property: It is found that the copolymer, poly(1-co-EDOT), has a specific optical band gap (1.71 eV) to reflect and/or transmit reddish brown color in the neutral state, and it can be switched to reddish orange, orange, yellowish green and blue colors upon oxidation in a low switching time (1.0 s). Importantly, these colors are essential for camouflage and/or full color electrochromic device/display applications. In addition to these, the obtained copolymer has a coloration efficiency of 173 cm(2)/C at 500 nm. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A new soluble neutral state black electrochromic copolymer via a donor-acceptor approach
(Elsevier, 2010) Cihaner, Atilla; Pamuk, Melek; Algi, Fatih; Onal, Ahmet M.; Cihaner, Atilla; Chemical Engineering
Two donor-acceptor systems, 2-decyl-4,7-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (1) and 4,7-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole (2) are explored in order to attain a low bandgap black polymer electrochrome, which is highly difficult to attain due to the complexity of designing such materials. Electrochemical polymerization of 1 and 2 in 1:4 monomer feed ratio was performed in a mixture of acetonitrile and dichloromethane solution containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate. It was found that electropolymerization provides a processable neutral state black copolymer, (P(1-co-2)), which absorbs virtually the whole visible spectrum (400-800 nm). (P(1-co-2)) is the first low bandgap (1.45 eV) electropolymerized material, which switches from black color (L = 14.3, a = 0.29, b = 0.35) in the neutral state to transmissive grey (L = 39.2, a = 0.29, b = 0.33) in the oxidized state with 15.3% of the transmittance change at 522 nm. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent operational and/or environmental stability under ambient conditions. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Thermally highly stable polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-sulfur based hybrid inorganic/organic polymers: synthesis, characterization and removal of mercury ion
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2022) Kaya, Murat; Cihaner, Atilla; Cihaner, Atilla; Chemical Engineering
Elemental sulfur was copolymerized with octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OV-POSS) cages in diglyme solution via the inverse vulcanization method and characterized using NMR and FTIR spectroscopic techniques. The polysulfur copolymer called poly(sulfur-random-octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane) (poly(S-r-OV-POSS)) was cured successfully sequentially at 170, 200 and 230 degrees C without changing the structure of the POSS cages in the polymer backbone. Highly crosslinked poly(S-r-OV-POSS) polymer cured at 200 and 230 degrees C exhibited high thermal stability at high temperatures; the loss of the samples was only 10% weight at 400 degrees C and 27% at 800 degrees C. Finally, the feasibility of poly(S-r-OV-POSS) as an adsorbent for the removal of Hg(ii) ions, as an example of a toxic heavy metal, from an aqueous solution was investigated. Optimization of the pH of the solution and contact time was performed and almost all Hg(ii) ions were collected from the aqueous solution at pH = 7 in 1 h (99% adsorption).
