Özet:The synthesis and optoelectronic properties of biphenyl based conjugated copolymers with varying acceptor units in the polymer backbone were investigated. The well known Donor-Acceptor Theory was used to establish the synthetic pathway for the structural modifications. Solubility issues regarding biphenyl polymer was solved by copolymerizing with soluble units. For this purpose; poly 4-(biphenyl-4-yl)- 4’-tert butylspiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1’-cyclohexane] (P1), poly 4-(biphenyl-4-yl)- 2- dodecyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (P2) and poly(4-(5-(biphenyl-4-yl)-4-hexylthiophen- 2-yl)-2-dodecyl-7-(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (P3) were synthetized using Suzuki coupling process. Electrochemical properties of these polymers were examined by cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry and kinetic studies. Polymers P2 and P3 showed both p- and n-doping behaviors and multicolored electrochromic states. Optical studies revealed that emission color of biphenyl is tuned from blue to orange and the polymers are good candidates for light emitting diode applications. OLED application of P3 was established and outputs of the device were increased by energy transfer studies. The preliminary investigation indicated that P3 possesses promising efficiencies.
