    Synthesis and Properties of a Novel Redox Driven Chemiluminescent Material Built on a Terthienyl System
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2009) Atilgan, Nurdan; Algi, Fatih; Onal, Ahmet M.; Cihaner, Atilla
    A novel redox driven chemiluminescent material built on a terthienyl system, namely 5,7-di-ethylenedioxythiophen-2-yl-2,3-dihydro-thieno[3,4-d]pyridazine-1,4-dione (ETE-Lum), which is soluble in both organic media and basic aqueous solution was synthesized and characterized. Furthermore, its polymer, PETE-Lum, which is one of the most rare examples of chemiluminescent polymeric materials bearing a pyridazine unit, was obtained successfully by electrochemical means. Both of the materials give chemiluminescence either by treatment with oxidants (H2O2 and/or KMnO4) or by the application of a potential pulse. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    A New Low-Voltage Polymeric Electrochromic
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2010) Pamuk, Melek; Tirkes, Seha; Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, Fatih
    Design, synthesis, and properties of a novel donor-acceptor-donor type low-voltage-driven green polymeric electrochrome, P1, which is based on 8-(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-11-(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][l,4]dioxin-7-yl)acenaphtho[1,2-b]quinoxaline (1) are highlighted. It is noted that P1 has an ambipolar (n- and p-doping processes) character in 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate/dichloromethame solution and switches to a transmissive blue state upon oxidation. Furthermore, this new polymeric electrochromic candidate exhibits high redox stability, high coloration efficiency and/or contrast ratio, high percent transmittance (%T) and low response time (1.0 s) with a band gap of 1.10 eV-1.25 eV.

    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.

    An ambipolar neutral state green polymeric electrochromic
    (Elsevier, 2009) Algi, Fatih; Cihaner, Atilla
    The synthesis and properties of highly stable neutral state green polymeric electrochromic, P1, which is based on 5,8-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-2,3-di(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)quinoxaline were highlighted. P1 exhibits three well-defined absorption bands with a narrow band gap (1.17 eV). The n- and p-doping (ambipolar) processes suggest that P1 is one of the most promising neutral state green polymers and it can be used in supercapacitors as either cathode or anode electrode material. Apart from the stability and the robustness of the polymer film, P1 shows multi-electrochromic behavior; gray-purple in the reduced form and highly transmissive blue color in the oxidized state.
