Article Citation - WoS: 94Citation - Scopus: 95A New Conducting Polymer Bearing 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (bodipy) Subunit: Synthesis and Characterization(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2008) Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, FatihA new monomer system based on thiophene, pyrrole and 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene dye (SNS-BODIPY) was synthesized and its corresponding polymer (PSNS-BODIPY) was obtained via repetitive cycling or constant potential electrolysis in 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate dissolved in dichloromethane. The PSNS-BODIPY film has very stable and well-defined reversible redox couples during p-doping process. Multi-electrochromic polymer film has a band gap of 2.9 eV with two absorption bands in its neutral state at 351 and 525 nm, attributed to the polymer backbone and BODIPY subunits, respectively. The percentage transmittance changes between both states (neutral and oxidized) were found as 12.1% for 351 nm and 17.7% for 525 nm in the visible region as well as 46.2% for 1050 nm in the near-infrared region. Beyond the robustness, the PSNS-BODIPY film has high redox stability (retaining 53.3% of its electroactivity at 351 nm after 2000 switching) with a low response time of 1.0 s. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

It was found that the polymer represents an environmentally robust electroactive material bearing high stability, well-defined quasi-reversible redox couple, and fast response time between redox states as well as high coloration efficiency.

The unique combination of BODIPY and EDOT units provides an ambipolar (n- and p-doping processes) low band gap material (4). This is the first example of p-n junction in an organic pi-conjugated material where BODIPY unit is incorporated directly in the main chain. Furthermore, the polymer film exhibits electrochromic behavior upon p-doping: a color change from light violet (neutral) to indigo (oxidized). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Absorption and emission spectra have revealed an efficient resonance energy transfer from dithienylpyrrole as donor to BODIPY as acceptor.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 18Design and Synthesis of New 4,4′-Difluoro Based Electrochromic Polymers(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2013) Algi, Melek Pamuk; Tirkes, Seha; Ertan, Salih; Ergun, Emine Gul Cansu; Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, FatihDesign, synthesis, optical and electrochemical properties of two novel 4,4'-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) based donor-acceptor compounds, 1 and 2, are reported in order to elucidate the structure-property relationships in BODIPY based materials. Importantly, these compounds provide opportunity to be used as crosslinkers, since they have three electroactive donor sides. Furthermore, these compounds are polymerized successfully via electrochemical polymerization. The corresponding polymers (P1 and P2) are also characterized by using electrochemical and optical methods in monomer-free electrolyte solutions. It is found that both polymers P1 and P2 exhibit reversible oxidation peaks with half wave potentials of 0.70 V and 0.98 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively, and they have low optical band gaps (1.88 eV for P1 and 1.72 eV for P2). It is also noted that the polymers exhibit multielectrochromic properties upon doping: P1 can be switched from pink color in the neutral state to blue color in the oxidized state and P2 can be switched from transmissive pink color when neutralized to transmissive blue color when oxidized.
