Electrochemical And Optical Properties Of An Azo Dye Based Conducting Copolymer, Ati̇lla Ci̇haner, Fati̇h Algi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

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.


The Synthesis, Characterization And Energy Transfer Efficiency Of A Dithienylpyrrole And Bodipy Based Donor-Acceptor System, Taner Atalar, Ati̇lla Ci̇haner, Fati̇h Algi Jan 2009

The Synthesis, Characterization And Energy Transfer Efficiency Of A Dithienylpyrrole And Bodipy Based Donor-Acceptor System, Taner Atalar, Ati̇lla Ci̇haner, Fati̇h Algi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A dithienylpyrrole-BODIPY based donor-acceptor system with 1,4-phenylene spacer as a model system for energy transfer was designed and synthesized. Absorption and emission spectra have revealed an efficient resonance energy transfer from dithienylpyrrole as donor to BODIPY as acceptor.
