Özet:Polymers having one of the three complementary colors (red, green, and blue) in the reduced state and high transmissivity in the oxidized state are key materials towards use in electrochromic devices and displays. Although many neutral state red and blue polymers were reported up to date, neutral state green polymeric materials appear to be limited. For potential application of electrochromic materials in display technologies, one should have to create the entire color spectrum and this can be only achieved by having materials with additive or subtractive primary colors in their neutral states. To obtain a green color there should be at least two simultaneous absorption bands. Although the neutral state color is of great importance, the transmittance in the oxidized state is crucial too. The materials having one of the three primary colors should also possess highly transmissive oxidized states in order to be used in commercial electrochromic device applications. Donor-acceptor molecules lead to lower band gap due to resonances that enable a stronger double bond character between the donor and acceptor units. The materials with low band-gaps produce cathodically coloring polymers due to the lower energy transition in the doped state. Moreover, donor-acceptor type materials commonly show two absorption maxima. Since donor-acceptor approach seems to be the key to the complex nature of producing these materials, novel donor-acceptor type polymers were synthesized, and electrochromic properties were investigated in detail.Additionally a solution-processable donor-acceptor type polymer was realized using method of introducing alkyl side chains in the polymer structures.
