Effect of the donor units on the properties of fluorinated acceptor based systems
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Cihaner, Atilla; Akdag, Akin; Cihaner, Atilla; Onal, Ahmet M.; Chemical Engineering
A new series of monomers in the donor-acceptor-donor array, namely 5-fluoro-4,7-di(furan-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5] thiadiazole (F2BT-F), and 5-fluoro-4,7-di(selenophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5] thiadiazole (S2BT-F), bearing 5-fluorobenzo[c][1,2,5]-thiadiazole as the acceptor moiety and furan and selenophene as the electron donating groups was synthesized and polymerized electrochemically. To compare heteroatom effect, thiophene analogue of newly synthesized (FBT)-B-2-F and S2BT-F namely, (5-fluoro-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5] thiadiazole (T2BT-F)) and its corresponding polymer were also synthesized. Effect of donor units on the electrochemical and optical properties of fluorinated acceptor based systems was investigated in terms of the effect of different sized heteroatoms in five-membered rings on the dihedral angle and planarity. Theoretical calculations also suggested a deviation from planarity upon fluorination. Moreover, electrochemically obtained polymers possess low bandgap values (1.62 eV-1.68 eV for PF2BT-F and PS2BT-F, respectively) and exhibited electrochromic properties with relatively low switching times.

Synthesis, characterization and application of high sulfur content polymeric materials from fatty acids
(Elsevier, 2023) Kaya, Murat; Topcuoğlu, Mert; Cihaner, Atilla; Turkten, Nazli; Karatas, Yunus; Cihaner, Atilla; Chemical Engineering
A new series of high sulfur content polymers containing various amounts of fatty acids (oleic acid (OA), linoleic acid (LA) and linolenic acid (LnA)) was synthesized via inverse vulcanization method and characterized successfully. In particular, the effect of double bonds and free alkyl chains on polysulfur copolymers has been investigated systematically by using OA with one double bond, LA with two double bonds and LnA with three double bonds. The copolymers with functional carboxylic acid groups are soluble in common organic solvents, processable and electroactive. Also, the usage of the copolymers was tested in the removal of methylene blue and as a cathode material in Li-S battery. Results showed that the polymers can be a potential material for use in dye removal.

Electrochemical synthesis of poly(3-bromo-4-methoxythiophene) and its device application
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2007) Cihaner, Atilla; Onal, Ahmet M.; Chemical Engineering
A functionalized thiophene containing both an electron withdrawing and an electron donating group, 3-bromo-4-methoxythiophene (BrMeOTh) was succesfully polymerized in acetonitrile containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBABF4) electrolyte via electrochemical oxidation of the corresponding monomer. BrMeOTh exhibits a lower oxidation potential (1.68 V vs Ag/AgCl) than thiophene (2.05 V vs Ag/AgCl). Spectroelectrochemical properties of poly(3-bromo-4-methoxythiophene) (PBrMeOTh) was investigated in situ recording the electronic absorption spectra of the polymer film coated on indium-tin oxide (ITO) at various potentials. The maximum transmittance difference between the oxidized and reduced states was measured as 39.2% and the time required to attain 90% of the total transmittance difference was found to be 1.2 s. Both cyclic voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical studies showed that the polymer exhibit a lower oxidation potential, a relatively narrow band gap, a stable conducting state and a higher degree of electrochemical reversibility. It is also found that, as synthesized PBrMeOTh films possess a linear structure along the polymer backbone. Moreover, dual type electrochromic device of PBrMeOTh with poly(3,4-diethylenedioxythiohene) (PEDOT) was constructed and its spectroelectrochemical, electrochromic switching and open circuit stability were investigated. Dual electrochromic device showed a good optical contrast and distinctive color changes with the ability of good switching times (1.1 s) under atmospheric pressure. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

New electrochromic copolymers based on spiro bipropylenedioxythiophene and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2014) Cihaner, Atilla; Karabay, Bads; Cihaner, Atilla; Chemical Engineering
Two alkylenedioxythiophene derivatives, Spiro bipropylenedioxythiophene (Spiro-BiProDOT) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), were integrated electrochemically in order to attain low band gap electrochromic copolymers. EDOT has a functionality of two, which causes a linear polymer, whereas Spiro-BiProDOT has a functionality of four and its polymerization results in a network polymer. Therefore, by playing the monomer feed ratio, the crosslink degree can be adjusted for the copolymers obtained electrochemically from EDOT and Spiro-BiProDOT monomers in an electrolyte solution of 0.1 M tetrabutyl ammonium hexafluorophosphate dissolved in dichloromethane. It was found that copolymers showed different electrochemical and optical properties at their various redox states when compared to their homopolymers. For example, they could be switched from dark blue in the neutral state to reddish blue at intermediate state and finally to transparent blue in the oxidized state with 45-51% of the transmittance change at 575-595 nm. pi-pi* transition bands of the copolymers can be shifted to higher wavelengths when compared to poly(Spiro-BiProDOT) by increasing the amount of the EDOT units in the polymer backbone. They have low band gaps in the range of 1.65 and 1.73 eV. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Donor-acceptor polymer electrochromes with cyan color: Effect of alkyl chain length on doping processes
(Elsevier, 2012) Cihaner, Atilla; Icli-Ozkut, Merve; Algi, Fatih; Onal, Ahmet M.; Cihaner, Atilla; Chemical Engineering
A new series of donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type compounds consisting of dialkyl substituted 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene and benzothiadiazole units were synthesized and polymerized chemically and electrochemically to investigate the effect of alkyl chain length on the doping process of the conjugated polymers. It was found that the alkyl chain length plays a key role on both doping processes and the solubility of the polymer. It is also noteworthy that this new series of D-A-D electrochromes transmits or reflects the cyan color of the Cyan-Magenta-Yellow (CMY) color space in the neutral state which can be switched to transmissive grey when oxidized.

Donor-Acceptor Polymer Electrochromes with Tunable Colors and Performance
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2010) Cihaner, Atilla; Pamuk, Melek; Algi, Fatih; Onal, Ahmet M.; Cihaner, Atilla; Chemical Engineering
To demonstrate the effect of donor (D) and acceptor (A) units on the structure property relationships of electrochromic polymers, design, synthesis, characterization and polymerization of a series of D A type systems, 1-5, based on thiophene, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, and 3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepine as D units and 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and 2-decyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole as A units are highlighted. It is found that these units play key roles on the redox behavior, band gap, neutral state color, and the electrochromic performance (stability, optical contrast, coloration efficiency, and switching time) of the system. It is noted that electropolymerization of these D-A systems provides processable low band gap electrochromes, P1-P5, exhibiting high redox stability, coloration efficiency, transmittance and/or contrast ratio and low response time. Furthermore, P1-P5 reflect various hues of blue and green pallets of the RGB color-space in the neutral state. In particular, it is noteworthy that P5 is an excellent blue-to-colorless polymeric electrochrome, which, to our best knowledge, exhibits the highest optical contrast and coloration efficiency among the D A type systems. The panoramic breadth of the neutral state colors and intriguing features of these polymeric materials further confirm that D A approach allows engineering tunable electrochromes, which hold promise for commercialization of polymeric ROB electrochromics.

Silver Nanoparticles Added Polymer Film Prepared by Electrochemical Route for Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Applications
(Electrochemical Soc inc, 2019) Cihaner, Atilla; Kaya, Murat; Cihaner, Atilla; Uzun, Ceren; Chemical Engineering
A simplemethod for the fabrication of stable and highly active surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate by exploiting the optical properties of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and organizational characteristics of the polymer is presented. Homogeneous distribution ofAgNPs is achieved with the usage of poly (4,7-di-2,3-dihydrothieno [3,4-b] [1,4] dioxin-5-yl-2,1,3 benzoselena diazole) (PESeE) film coated on the indium tin oxide glass (ITO) surface. The obtained structure ensured the emergence of a large number of hot spots where the localization of electromagnetic energy can result in enhancement of the Raman signal. The effect of the PESeE film thickness, the density of AgNPs added to the polymer film, and the concentration of silver ion solution on the morphology of the substrate and the enhancement of the SERS signal was revealed by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and SERS measurements. Enhancement power, homogeneity, and stability of the PESeE-AgNPs substrate were also investigated with measurement of the Raman probe. Spot-to-spot and batch-to-batch reproducibilities of the prepared substrate were calculated as 8.4%, and 10.2% (RSD %) respectively. Due to these properties, PESeE-AgNPs SERS substrate can be a good candidate for the detection and sensor application of various biological and chemical analytes. (C) 2019 The Electrochemical Society.

Synthesis of Polyacrylamide-Based Redox Active Cryogel Using Click Chemistry and Investigation of Its Electrochemical Properties
(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2021) Cihaner, Atilla; Sahin, Zeynep M.; Cihaner, Atilla; Yilmaz, Faruk; Gurek, Aysegul; Chemical Engineering
Ferrocene (Fc) functionalization of macroporous polyacrylamide-based cryogel (PAAm-Epx) is achieved by click chemistry. For this purpose, firstly, PAAm-Epx cryogel with azide functionality (PAAm-N-3) is prepared by using acryalmide (AAm) as the monomer and allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) as the co-monomer followed by subsequent ring opening reaction of epoxide ring of AGE in acidic medium. Azide groups of PAAm-N-3 is then modified with ethynyl ferrocene, leading to the redox active cryogel (PAAm-Fc) together with preserving the unique characteristic properties of the virgin PAAm-Epx cryogel. Swelling, mechanical and morphological behaviours of PAAm-Epx, PAAm-N-3 and PAAm-Fc are investigated. Detailed characterization of the PAAm-Fc is carried out by several techniques such as FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emmision Spectrometry (ICP-OES, Cyclic (CV), and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV). Electrochemical analysis confirms the electroactivity and the presence of chemically linked ferrocene unit to the cryogel.
