    Electrochemical and Optical Properties of an Azo Dye Based Conducting Copolymer
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2009) Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, Fatih
    The electrochemical and optical properties of a novel conducting copolymer called poly(2,5'-dimethyl-[4-(2,5-di-thiophen-2-yl-pyrrol-1-yl)-phenyl]azobenzene-co-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)) (poly(1-co-EDOT)) are reported. Electrochemically synthesized poly(1-co-EDOT) based on the azo dye has a well-defined and reversible redox couple (0.37 V vs. Ag/AgCl) with good cycle stability. The copolymer film exhibits high conductivity (13 S/cm) as well as electrochromic behavior (magenta when neutralized and transmissive sky blue when oxidized). Furthermore, electro-optically active copolymer film has a low band gap of 1.79 eV with a pi-pi* transition at 555 nm.

    Synthesis, Properties, and Electrochemistry of a Photochromic Compound Based on Dithienylethene and Prodot
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2015) Algi, Melek Pamuk; Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, Fatih
    The synthesis, photochromic features, and electrochemistry of a novel material based on dithienylethene (DTE) and 3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepine (didecyl-ProDOT) units are described. It is noteworthy that 1,2-bis (5-(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-2-methylthiophen-3-yl)cyclopent-1-ene can be efficiently switched between open and closed states by light in both solution and in the solid poly(methyl metacrylate) (PMMA) matrix. It is also found that the emission of this novel compound can be switched on and off upon irradiation.

    The Synthesis, Characterization and Energy Transfer Efficiency of a Dithienylpyrrole and Bodipy Based Donor-Acceptor System
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2009) Atalar, Taner; Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, Fatih
    A dithienylpyrrole-BODIPY based donor-acceptor system with 1,4-phenylene spacer as a model system for energy transfer was designed and synthesized. Absorption and emission spectra have revealed an efficient resonance energy transfer from dithienylpyrrole as donor to BODIPY as acceptor.
