Synthesis and Properties of 4,4-Difluoro (bodipy)-Based Conducting Copolymers
(Elsevier, 2009) Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, Fatih
The synthesis, characterization and engineering of a novel polymer based on a unique combination of 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(4-nitro-phenyl)-2,6-bis(2-thienyl)-4,4-difluoroboradiazaindacene and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene are highlighted. 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.

An Ambipolar Low Band Gap Material Based on Bodipy and Edot
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2009) Algi, Fatih; Cihaner, Atilla
A novel donor-acceptor type conducting polymer based on BODIPY dye as acceptor and EDOT units as donor parts is synthesized electrochemically. 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. All rights reserved.
