研究目的
Investigating the synthesis and electrochemical properties of Poly[1,5-naphthyridine-(3-hexylthiophene)] (PN3HTh) as a potential organic semiconductor.
研究成果
The study successfully synthesized PN3HTh and investigated its electrochemical and transport properties. The polymer showed potential as an organic semiconductor, with properties that can be tuned by changing the solvent and electrode. The conventional synthesis method yielded higher polymer amounts compared to the microwave-assisted method.
研究不足
The polymer had poor solubility in aqueous solutions, which affected the concentration definition in CV measurements. The microwave-assisted synthesis was sluggish and led to several side products.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis of PN3HTh was accomplished using both conventional and microwave-assisted Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. The electrochemical and transport properties were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The monomers used were 3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diboronic ester and 2,6-dibromo-1,5-naphthyridine. The synthesized polymers were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A potentiostat coupled with an electrochemical cell for CV measurements, Büchi apparatus for melting points, Perkin Elmer Elemental Analyzer for elemental analysis, Perkin Elmer 16F PC FTIR spectrophotometer for IR spectra, JEOL JNM-LA 500 MHz spectrometer for NMR spectra, Agilent Technologies 6890N GC–MS system for mass spectra, and TLC plates for analytical TLC.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved the reaction of the monomers under Suzuki-Miyaura conditions, followed by characterization using spectroscopic methods and electrochemical measurements.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data from CV measurements were analyzed to understand the electrochemical and transport properties of the polymer.
