Article Synthesis and Electropolymerization of a Selenophene Based Chemiluminescent Monomer and Its Use in Blood Detection(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Balci, Burcu; Cakal, Deniz; Cihaner, AtillaA 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.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16Electrochemical and Optical Characterization of a Multielectrochromic Copolymer Based on 3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene and Functionalized Dithienylpyrrole Derivative(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2019) Tutuncu, Esra; Ozkut, Merve Icli; Balci, Burcu; Berk, Hasan; Cihaner, AtillaA novel conjugated copolymer, namely poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-co-1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole) (P(EDOT-co-1)) was synthesized via electropolymerization method from a mixture of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and 1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole comonomers. The corresponding copolymer has an optical band gap of 1.7 eV and 41% optical contrast at 525 nm with a coloration efficiency of 258 cm(2)/C and 1.4 s switching time. The copolymer has a multi-electrochromic behavior: It has dark purple, purple, gray, green and cyan colors at different oxidation states. Electrochemical stability of P(EDOT-co-1) copolymer was also investigated and it was observed that the copolymer retained 86% of its stability under ambient conditions in the presence of oxygen (without purging the electrolyte solution with any inert gas) according to the current density and 83% according to the deposited charge even after 1000 redox cycles.
