研究目的
To study the effect of replacing symmetrically branched alkyl chains in PCDTBT with unsymmetrically branched alkyl chains on the electrochemical band gap and thermal stability of the polymer.
研究成果
The substitution of symmetrically branched alkyl chains with unsymmetrically branched alkyl chains in PCDTBT elevates both HOMO and LUMO energy levels, resulting in a narrower electrochemical band gap of 1.58 eV. However, this modification weakens intramolecular interactions, leading to reduced thermal stability.
研究不足
The polymer P1 has lower thermal stability compared to PCDTBT, with 5% degradation at 280°C versus 430°C for PCDTBT, indicating a drawback in thermal properties. The solubility of P1 is also lower than that of PCDTBT.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing a modified polymer P1 through a series of chemical reactions including dimerization, cyclization, tosylation, N-alkylation, bromination, Stille's and Suzuki's coupling reactions. Various analytical techniques were used to characterize the properties of P
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The polymer P1 was synthesized and compared with the previously reported PCDTBT. Samples were prepared in solution and solid states for analysis.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included JOEL ECA 600 NMR, Perkin-Elmer FTIR-ATR, GPC system with Waters 1515 HPLC and Waters 2414 RI detector, JEOL JSM-5610LV SEM, Metrohm Autolab PGSTAT204 potentiostat/galvanostat, Agilent Technologies Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrometer, and TGA. Materials involved chemicals for synthesis and solvents like toluene and chloroform.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis was carried out as per Scheme
5:For characterization, NMR and FTIR were used for structural confirmation, GPC for molecular mass, SEM for morphology, cyclic voltammetry for electrochemical properties, UV-Vis for optical properties, and TGA for thermal stability. Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using standard equations for energy levels and band gaps, with comparisons made to literature values for PCDTBT.
