    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.

    A New Soluble Neutral State Black Electrochromic Copolymer Via a Donor-Acceptor Approach
    (Elsevier, 2010) Icli, Merve; Pamuk, Melek; Algi, Fatih; Onal, Ahmet M.; Cihaner, Atilla
    Two donor-acceptor systems, 2-decyl-4,7-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (1) and 4,7-bis(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepin-6-yl)-2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole (2) are explored in order to attain a low bandgap black polymer electrochrome, which is highly difficult to attain due to the complexity of designing such materials. Electrochemical polymerization of 1 and 2 in 1:4 monomer feed ratio was performed in a mixture of acetonitrile and dichloromethane solution containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate. It was found that electropolymerization provides a processable neutral state black copolymer, (P(1-co-2)), which absorbs virtually the whole visible spectrum (400-800 nm). (P(1-co-2)) is the first low bandgap (1.45 eV) electropolymerized material, which switches from black color (L = 14.3, a = 0.29, b = 0.35) in the neutral state to transmissive grey (L = 39.2, a = 0.29, b = 0.33) in the oxidized state with 15.3% of the transmittance change at 522 nm. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent operational and/or environmental stability under ambient conditions. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    A Diverse-Stimuli Responsive Chemiluminescent Probe With Luminol Scaffold and Its Electropolymerization
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2010) Asil, Demet; Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, Fatih; Onal, Ahmet M.
    A diverse-stimuli responsive chemiluminescent system, SNS-Lum, and its electropolymerization to give PSNS-Lum, which is the first example of conjugated polymers with pendant luminol arms inducing chemiluminescence in the presence of super oxide radical anion under neutral conditions, are highlighted.
