    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2020) Tutuncu, Esra; Varlik, Bengisu; Kesimal, Busra; Cihaner, Atilla; Ozkut, Merve Icli; Icli Ozkut, Merve
    An electrochromic polymer, namely "poly(2,6-(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno [3,4-b] [1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-4,4-dioctyl-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b;3,4-b']dithiophene)" (P1), was electrochemically synthesized successfully, and its electrochemical and optical properties were investigated. The band gap of the polymer P1 was calculated as 1.77 eV with -5.45 eV Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and -3.68 eV Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energy levels. The polymer P1 is bluish purple when neutralized and highly transparent greenish purple when oxidized. This color change was observed around 1.4 s between its redox states and optical contrast ratio was found to be as 49 % and 53 % with 234 cm(2)/C and 239 cm(2)/C coloration efficiencies at 590 nm and 634 nm, respectively. Moreover, the properties of this polymer were compared to its analogues and also during this comparison the effect of alteration of a single atom in the pendant unit was tried to be understood.

    Kemilüminesans Bileşiklerin Sentezi ve Metal İyonu Tanıma ve Kan Tespitinde Kullanımları
    (2021) Balcı, Burcu; Cihaner, Atilla
    Lüminesan bileşikler, geniş uygulama alanları sebebiyle son zamanlarda büyük önem kazanmıştır. Ayrıca, kemilüminesan bileşikler, yüksek lüminesans hassasiyetlerinden dolayı analitik kimyada birçok çalışmada kullanılmıştır. Bu tezde elektron verici-alıcı-verici yaklaşımı ile, isimleri 5,8-di(furan-2-il)-2,3-dihidroftalazin-1,4-dion (F2B-Lum), 5,8-di(selenofen-2-il)-2,3- dihidroftalazin-1,4-dion (S2B-Lum) ve 5,7-di(selenofen-2-il)-2,3-dihidrotiyeno[3,4-d] piridazin-1,4-dion (S2T-Lum) olan, yeni bir kemilüminesan bileşik serisi sentezlenmiştir. Yapıları NMR, FTIR ve HRMS teknikleri kullanılarak doğrulanmıştır. Daha sonra, alkali çözeltide (0,1 M NaOH(sulu)) bileşiklerin hidrojen peroksit ile farklı metal iyonları, hemin ve kan örnekleri varlığında kemilüminesans tepkimeleri araştırılmış ve sonuçlar luminol ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Beklendiği gibi, bileşiklerin bakır(II), demir(III) iyonlarına ve kana duyarlı olduğu gözlenmiştir. Yeni luminol türevleri olarak ilgili bileşiklerin, adli bilimde kan bulgularının tespiti için potansiyel adaylar olduğu sonucuna kolaylıkla varılabilir. Ek olarak, bileşiklerin bakır(II) iyonuna duyarlılığı, onları analitik uygulamalarda bakır iyonu tanıma için kullanılabilir hale getirmiştir. Ayrıca, bileşiklerin redoks davranışlarını araştırmak için döngülü voltametri tekniği kullanılmış ve tersinmez yükseltgenme sinyalleri göstermişlerdir. Ayrıca bu bileşikler kullanılarak -1.05 V'luk bir dış potansiyel uygulanarak kare dalga potansiyel yöntemi ile reaktif oksijen türleri tespit edilebilmektedir.Son olarak bileşiklerden S2T-Lum elektrokimyasal olarak başarılı bir şekilde polimerleştirilmiştir. İlgili polimer PS2T-Lum, elektroaktif olduğu ve polimerik yapısında kemilüminesan aktif uzantılar taşıdığı için luminol tipi polimerlerin değerli bir üyesi olabilir.

    Catalyst-Free Synthesis of Thiourea-Linked Dumbbell-Shaped POSS for Ultrasensitive Determination of Prilocaine in Human Blood With Computational Insights
    (Elsevier, 2026) Bilge, Selva; Bayraktar, Ece Nur; Erkmen, Cem; Balci, Burcu; Abofoul, Anas; Ozkut, Merve Icli; Cihaner, Atilla
    Although various electrochemical sensors have been reported for the determination of local anesthetic drugs, most existing platforms suffer from limited sensitivity, insufficient surface stability, or inadequate electron-transfer efficiency, particularly when applied to complex biological matrices. Moreover, the potential of hybrid polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-based nanostructures combined with metal oxide nano-particles for improving electroanalytical performance has not yet been thoroughly explored. In this study, a high-sensitivity electrochemical nanosensor was developed for the determination of prilocaine (PC), an amide-type local anesthetic, using a glassy carbon (GC) electrode modified with POSS-titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano-particles (Nps). The combination of modifications provided a unique electrode surface by combining the high stability of POSS with the strong adsorption properties of TiO2 Nps, thereby increasing both surface loading and adsorption capacity. To elucidate the structure of the modification combination, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques, as well as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis techniques were used, respectively. The analytical performance of the developed nanosensor was systematically optimized using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdSDPV), square wave voltammetry (SWV), and adsorptive stripping square wave voltammetry (AdSSWV) techniques. As a result of the optimization studies, the lowest limit of detection (LOD) was 3.66 x 10-8 M with the AdSSWV technique. DFT results corroborated the mechanism, indicating ring-centered electron donation (HOMO) and adsorption-favored N/O regions (MEP). Low LOD values were also recorded with other techniques, demonstrating the method's high sensitivity in analyte detection. In real sample analysis tests, PC recovery value in human blood samples was determined to be 98.69% using the AdSDPV technique. Despite the matrix effect, the nanosensor demonstrated high accuracy and reproducibility. The results indicate that the developed POSS-TiO2 Nps modified GC electrode sensor offers a high-performance, reliable, and good electrochemical detection platform suitable for use in biological and clinical applications.

    Side Chain Effect on the Electrochemical and Optical Properties of Thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione Based Donor-Acceptor Donor Type Monomers and Polymers
    (Royal Soc Chemistry, 2023) Cakal, Deniz; Arabaci, Elif Demir; Yildirim, Erol; Cihaner, Atilla; Onal, Ahmet M.; Demir Arabacı, Elif
    In organic pi-conjugated materials, side chains play great roles that impact far beyond solubility. In this work, we mainly focused on the synthesis of new donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type conjugated monomers and their corresponding polymers appending thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) acceptor with a new side chain, fluorene (Fl), to investigate the side chain effect. In this context, to reveal the precise effect of the side chains on the optical and electrochemical properties of the monomers and polymers synthesized in this work, four series of D-A-D monomers, each containing a TPD core unit with a different side chain, are compared and discussed in relation to each other. Notably, it was discovered that the TPD acceptor unit can be modified with any functional group other than common alkyl chains to impart new functionalities by maintaining their superior optoelectronic properties. New types of side chains can be used to tune the physical characteristics, such as solubility, absorption, emission, and molecular packing. In this work, Fl-appended monomers as a new class of D-A-D type pi-conjugated molecules containing 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT (E)) and 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT (P)) donor units were studied and it was found that 1,3-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-5-(9H-fluoren-2-yl)-4H-thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (E(Fl)) and 1,3-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-5-(9H-fluoren-2-yl)-4H-thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione (P(Fl)) exhibited reasonable quantum yields and their corresponding polymers revealed ambipolar character with slightly lower band gap as compared to the previous analogues containing other side chains. Observed experimental results were elucidated by first principle calculations. In this paper, we discussed that using side chain engineering is an effective strategy for improving next-generation organic pi-conjugated materials with the desired properties.

Observed experimental results were elucidated by first principle calculations. In this paper, we discussed that using side chain engineering is an effective strategy to improve next-generation organic π-conjugated materials with the desired properties.

    Synthesis and Electropolymerization of a Selenophene Based Chemiluminescent Monomer and Its Use in Blood Detection
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Balci, Burcu; Cakal, Deniz; Cihaner, Atilla
    A new selenophene based trimeric chemiluminescent compound, namely 5,7-di(selenophen-2-yl)-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-d]pyridazine-1,4-dione (S2T-Lum), was synthesized in two steps via electron donor-acceptor-donor approach. Its chemiluminescent reaction with hydrogen peroxide was investigated in an alkaline solution in the presence of various catalysts such as different metal ions, hemin and blood samples and the results were compared with its thiophene analogue (T2T-Lum) and luminol. It was found that S2T-Lum was very sensitive to copper(II) and iron(III) ions, and blood samples. Also, it can be easily concluded that S2T-Lum as a new member of luminol type compounds is a potential candidate for the detection of blood findings in forensic science. Furthermore, S2T-Lum has an irreversible oxidation peak at 1.28 V vs Ag/AgCl, which is responsible from its electropolymerization. S2T-Lum was successfully polymerized electrochemically via potentiodynamic electrolysis without cleavage of its chemiluminescent active appendage. To the best of our knowledge, its corresponding polymer PS2T-Lum film is the first member of selenophene based luminol type electroactive polymers.

    Synthesis and Characterization of a Luminol Based Chemiluminescent Trimeric System
    (Springer/plenum Publishers, 2023) Kesimal, Busra; Balci, Burcu; Cakal, Deniz; Onal, Ahmet M.; Cihaner, Atilla
    A luminol based chemiluminescent trimeric system, namely 2,3-dihydro-5,8-di(thiophen-2-yl)phthalazine-1,4-dione (T2B-Lum), bearing thiophene rings as donor units and 2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione as an acceptor unit was synthesized in two steps via donor-acceptor-donor approach using two different methods. It was found that T2B-Lum emits chemiluminescent light when exposed to H2O2 in a basic medium, and the presence of substituents and the type of aromatic ring bearing chemiluminescent active group have a direct effect on the compound's sensitivity. Among the members of a large family of metal ions, fluorescent and chemiluminescent T2B-Lum exhibited high sensitivity to Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions. Except for other metal cations (silver(I), cadmium(II), cobalt(II), iron(III), lithium(I), magnesium(II), manganese(II), nickel(II), zinc(II)), it has been observed that T2B-Lum is mostly sensitive to copper(II) ions with a detection limit value of 2.2 x 10(- 3) M. On the other hand, T2B-Lum was also found to exhibit a high sensitivity to extremely dilute aqueous solutions (e.g., 1:50.000 dilution) of blood samples, making it a promising candidate for use in forensic applications.

    Synthesis and Electropolymerization of Donor-Acceptor Type Monomers Based on Azobenzene-Substituted Thieno[3,4-C]pyrrole Acceptors
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Cakal, Deniz; Cihaner, Atilla; Onal, Ahmet M.
    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.

    Polysulfur Copolymer as a Support Material for the Preparation of a Novel Multifunctional Photocatalytic Composite Material
    (Springer, 2025) Kesimal, Busra; Guner, Zuhal Vanli; Cihaner, Atilla; Kaya, Murat; Vanli Guner, Zuhal
    One-step addition of magnetic nanoparticles and titanium dioxide nanoparticles into polysulfur copolymer as cheap and available support was reported for the first time to prepare the magnetically separable heterogeneous catalyst, PolyS-MNP-TiO2. The photocatalytic activities of the PolyS-MNP-TiO2 composite material and its constituents were examined in the methylene blue (MB) degradation, textile-based wastewater simulant, exposed to solar light. Detailed characterization of the catalysts was performed with SEM, TEM, and EDX measurements. The photocatalytic activity of the resulting composite was figured out in the removal of methylene blue dye by using a solar simulator. Significantly, the as-prepared PolyS-MNP-TiO2 exhibits exceptional photocatalytic activity and total degradation of dye molecules was achieved in 60 min. Additionally, the prepared novel photocatalyst showed enhanced stability and reusability due to the magnetic behavior of the composite material and the same portion of catalyst was used in five successive tries without apparent loss in catalytic activity by eliminating long and work-loaded processes like filtration and centrifugation.

    Effect of Fluorine Substituted Benzothiadiazole on Electro-Optical Properties of Donor-Acceptor Type Monomers and Their Polymers
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Cakal, Deniz; Ercan, Yunus Emre; Onal, Ahmet M.; Cihaner, Atilla
    A series of trimeric monomers bearing thiophene donor units and fluorinated analogues of benzothiadiazole acceptor units was synthesized via donor-acceptor-donor approach and polymerized electrochemically in order to investigate the effect of fluorine atom on electro-optical properties of both monomers and their corresponding polymers. All monomers exhibited solvatochromic and fluorescent properties. The introduction of fluorine atom into the conjugated backbone increased the oxidation potentials. Upon moving from nonfluorinated to fully fluorinated analogues, the oxidation potential shifts anodically from 1.30 V to 1.7 V. As in the case of monomers, the fluorine atom substitution also resulted in a decrease in the HOMO energy level of the corresponding polymers, leading to an increase in the electrochemical band gap energy (1.71-1.97 eV). This result can be attributed to deviations from planarity and also to decrease in the effective conjugation length. The polymeric film also exhibited electrochromic properties under various external potentials. Switching time and coloration efficiency values decreased with increasing number of fluorine atom substitution.
