    Synthesis, Photophysical and Electrochemical Properties of Novel Carbazole-Triazine Based High Triplet Energy, Solution-Processable Materials
    (Elsevier, 2018) Öner, Saliha; Aydemir, Murat; Yeşil, Fatih; Şahin, Çiğdem; Varlıklı, Canan
    A series of molecules; tBuCz1SiTrz, tBuCz2SiTrz and tBuCz3SiTrz, which contain carbazole unit as hole-transporting group (donor-D) and triazine unit as electron transporting group (acceptor-A) were synthesized and characterized as high-triplet energy (>2.9 eV), solution-processable bipolar emitting materials. The conjugation between the D-A groups was interrupted by using bulky tetraphenylsilane groups as spacer aiming to obtain large bandgap and high-triplet energy. The photophysical behaviors of the molecules were investigated by UV-Vis absorption, photoluminescence, phosphorescence, photoluminescence quantum yield and lifetime measurements. Solvent polarity effects were investigated on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) behaviour and large solvatochromic effect was observed with the increasing solvent polarity. Electrochemical properties were determined by cyclic voltammetry. All molecules showed oxidation bands arise from the carbazole groups. Reduction bands were originated from the triazine groups and the intramolecular charge transfer between D-A groups. Photophysical, electrochemical and computational characterizations addressed that tBuCz2SiTrz has the weakest ICT character, highest photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and charge balance.

    P3HT-graphene bilayer electrode for Schottky junction photodetectors
    (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Aydın, Hasan; Kalkan, Sırrı Batuhan; Varlıklı, Canan; Çelebi, Cem
    We have investigated the effect of a poly (3-hexylthiophene-2.5-diyl)(P3HT)-graphene bilayer electrode on the photoresponsivity characteristics of Si-based Schottky photodetectors. P3HT, which is known to be an electron donor and absorb light in the visible spectrum, was placed on CVD grown graphene by dip-coating method. The results of the UV-vis and Raman spectroscopy measurements have been evaluated to confirm the optical and electronic modification of graphene by the P3HT thin film. Current-voltage measurements of graphene/Si and P3HT-graphene/Si revealed rectification behavior confirming a Schottky junction formation at the graphene/Si interface. Time-resolved photocurrent spectroscopy measurements showed the devices had excellent durability and a fast response speed. We found that the maximum spectral photoresponsivity of the P3HT-graphene/Si photodetector increased more than three orders of magnitude compared to that of the bare graphene/Si photodetector. The observed increment in the photoresponsivity of the P3HT-graphene/Si samples was attributed to the charge transfer doping from P3HT to graphene within the spectral range between near-ultraviolet and near-infrared. Furthermore, the P3HT-graphene electrode was found to improve the specific detectivity and noise equivalent power of graphene/Si photodetectors. The obtained results showed that the P3HT-graphene bilayer electrodes significantly improved the photoresponsivity characteristics of our samples and thus can be used as a functional component in Si-based optoelectronic device applications.

    Impedimetric Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria With Bacteriophages Using Gold Nanorod Deposited Graphite Electrodes
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016) Moghtader, Farzaneh; Çongur, Gülşah; Zareie, Hadi M.; Erdem, Arzum; Pişkin, Erhan
    Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is applied for the detection of bacteria using bacteriophages as a bioprobe together with gold nanorods (GNRs). Escherichia coli-E. coli K12 was used as a model target bacteria and also for the propagation of its specific T4-phages. Gold nanorods (GNRs) were synthesized via a two-step protocol and characterized using different techniques. EIS measurements were conducted in an electrochemical cell consisting of a three electrode system. Single-use pencil graphite electrodes (PGE) were modified by the physical adsorption of GNRs to increase their interfacial conductivity and therefore sensitivity for impedimetric measurements. Therefore, interfacial charge-transfer resistance values (Rct) sharply decreased after GNRs deposition. Phages were adsorbed on these electrodes via a simple incubation protocol at room temperature, which resulted in an increase in Rct values, which was concluded to be as a result of nonconductive phage layers. These phage-carrying GNRs-PGEs were used for impedimetric detection of the target bacteria, E. coli. Significant increases at the Rct values were observed which were attributed to the insulation effects of the adsorbed bacterial layers. This increase was even more when the bacterial concentrations were higher. In the case of the non-target bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), conductivity noticeable decreases (due to nonspecific adsorption). However, in the case of E. coli, the Rct value increase is time dependent and reaches maximum in about 25-30 min, then decreases gradually as a result of bacterial lysis due to phage invasion on the electrode surfaces. In contrast, there were no time dependent changes with the non-target bacteria S. aureus (no infection and no lytic activity). It is concluded that the target bacteria could be detected using this very simple and inexpensive detection protocol with a minimum detection limit of 103 CFU mL-1 in approximately 100 μL bacterial suspension.

    N,n-Dialkylaniline Tetraethynylethenes: a New Class of Chromophores Possessing an Emitting Charge-Transfer State. Experimental and Computational Studies
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2001) Gobbi, Luca; Elmacı, Nuran; Lüthi, Hans Peter; Diederich, François
    The photophysical properties of N,N-dimethylaniline- (DMA) substituted tetraethynylethene (TEE; 3,4-diethynylhex-3-ene-1,5-diyne) and related derivatives were investigated in a joint experimental and computational study. Measurements of the electronic emission spectra showed that these novel chromophores display a dual fluorescence which strongly depends on solvent polarity. Computational studies suggest that the twisted intramolecular charge-transfer state (TICT) model offers a possible explanation for the experimentally observed dual fluorescence. Time-dependent density functional calculations revealed that the initial excited state reached upon photoirradiation relaxes to a lower-energy TICT state in which either the dimethylamino group is twisted into an orthogonal position with respect to the remaining planar arylated TEE moiety or the entire DMA donor group takes an orthogonal orientation with respect to the rigid, planar TEE acceptor moiety. For the compounds investigated, the charge-transfer state responsible for the strongly solvent-dependent luminescence is directly connected with the initial excited state, namely, no crossing of states is involved.
