Organic semi-conductors are of great interest since these compounds can be utilized as active layers in many device applications such as ECDs, LEDs and solar cells. Incorporating the benzotriazole units into the polymer backbone enhances the optical properties of donor units. Hexyl thiophene and pyrrole are commonly used as electron donor materials. Benzotriazole can be coupled to hexyl thiophene or pyrrole to yield materials which can be polymerized to give donor acceptor type polymers. These materials are promising components in fast switching polymeric electrochromic devices and highly efficient photovoltaic devices. During thesis studies,poly(2-dodecyl-4,7-bis(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole) (PHTBT) and poly(2-dodecyl-4,7-di(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)- 2H- benzo [d] [1,2,3] triazole) (PPyBT) will be synthesized via N-alkylation, bromination, stannylation and Stille coupling reactions. Electrochromic and photovoltaic properties of the polymers will be investigated in detail.
