Abstract: π-Conjugated light emitting polymers are having very wide applications in many areas, especially in optoelectronic, photonic and renewable energy systems. 2,7-substituted polycarbazoles are excellent p-type candidates with great potential toward these applications. However, very few reports were published in literature about the applicability of poly(2,7-carbazoles) which is attributed to the difficulties in direct functionality at 2,7-positions (meta-). In the present work, we report the synthesis of a 2,7-dibromo-substituted polycarbazole (poly(N-dodecylcarbazole)-2,7-diyl) material via four different consecutive steps. In first two steps, the basic 2,7-substitution was made by using commercial dibromobiphenyl and then the monomeric dodecylcarbazole was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution in the third step. Finally, the titled polymer was synthesized by Yamamoto polymerization. The structures of the intermediate products are confirmed by FTIR. The monomer and polymer were characterized by FTIR, UV-vis, emission and NMR techniques. The polymer has shown broad absorption comparing to the parent 2,7-dibromo-substituted-carbazole and monomeric dodecylcarbazole. Similarly, PCbz has exhibited strong excimer emission in all of the most commonly used organic solvents. Nevertheless, owing to the attractive tunable optical properties poly(2,7-carbazoles) and derivatives, they could be used as smart materials for electroactive and photonic device architectures. Keywords: Carbazole, Dodecylcarbazole, Poly(dodecylcarbazole), Excimer
ÖZ: Işık yayan π-konjuge polimerler, özellikle optoelektronik, fotonik ve yenilenebilir enerji sistemleri gibi birçok alanda çok geniş uygulama alanına sahiptirler. Bu uygulama alanları için 2,7-karbazoller büyük bir potansiyele sahip mükemmel p-tipi malzemelerdir. Ancak, karbazolün 2,7-pozisyonlarındaki modifikasyon zorluğundan dolayı literatürde poli(2,7-karbazoller)in uygulamaları ile ilgili çok az çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bir 2,7-dibromopolikarbazol (poli(N-dodesilkarbazol)-2,7-diil) dört ardışık basamakta sentezlenmiştir. İlk iki basamakta, 2,7-pozisyonları ticari dibromobifenil maddesi kullanılarak elde edildi. Üçüncü basamakta ise dodesilkarbazol monomeri nükleofil yer değiştirme tepkimesi ile elde edilmiştir. Son olarak, polimer Yamamoto polimerizasyonu tekniği ile sentezlenmiştir. Ara ürünleri yapıları FTIR ile teyit edilmiştir. Monomer ve polimer FTIR, UV-vis, emisyon ve NMR teknikleri ile karakterize edilmiştir. Polimer 2,7-dibromokarbazol ve dodesilkarbazol ile karşılaştırıldığında geniş bir absorpsiyon göstermiştir. Benzer şekilde, polikarbazol yaygın olarak kullanılan organik çözücülerde güçlü ekzimer emisyonu sergilemiştir. Bunula birlikte, poli(2,7-karbazoller) ilgi çekici ayarlanabilir optik özelliklerinden dolayı, elektroaktif ve fotonik cihaz mimarileri için akıllı malzemeler olarak kullanılabilirler. Anahtar kelimeler: Karbazol, Dodesilkarbazol, Poli(dodesilkarbazol), Ekzimer
