The pi-electron oligomers: Their synthesis and properties
Warzecha, Tomáš ; Starý, Ivo (advisor) ; Kotora, Martin (referee)
The pi-electron oligomers: Their synthesis and properties This diploma thesis is focused on the synthesis of p-oligophenyleneethynylene rods (dimer and trimer) containing laterally attached naphtalenediimide units as electron acceptor groups. These functionalised short oligomers are intended to serve as model oligodentate acceptors in the study on multiple interactions with electron rich molecules. The oligomers were assembled from building blocks such as aryl iodides and aryl alkynes bearing a naphthalenediimide unit. The functionalised monomers were combined in a stepwise way by using Sonogashira reaction to form the target p-oligophenyleneethynylene oligomers. The introductory UV-VIS spectroscopic studies on charge transfer complexes between electron donor (pyrene) and electron acceptor (a naphthalenediimide derivative) were performed. In addition, multiple noncovalent interaction between the electron acceptor dimer containing two naphthalenedimide moieties and the electron donor dimer containing two pyrene moieties were investigated by using 1 H NMR titration. The resulting oligomers and their precursors were characterized by using 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, MS and IR spectroscopy.

Ionic polyacetylene type polymers and polymer networks by catalyst-free quaternization polymerization
Faukner, Tomáš
(Doctoral Thesis, 2016, Mgr. Tomáš Faukner, IONIC POLYACETYLENE TYPE POLYMERS AND POLYMER NETWORKS BY CATALYST FREE QUATERNIZATION POLYMERIZATION) The composition and structure of a series of ionic π-conjugated poly(monosubstituted acetylene)s prepared via catalyst-free quaternization polymerization (QP) of 2-ethynylpyridine (2EP) activated with equimolar amount of alkyl halide [RX = ethyl bromide, ethyl iodide, nonyl bromide and haxadecyl (cetyl) bromide] as a quaternizing agent (QA) have been studied in detail. The performed QPs gave ionic polymers well soluble in polar solvents, with approximately half of pyridine rings quaternized, which implies that also non-quaternized monomers were involved in the process of QP. The configurational structure of polyacetylene main chains was suggested based on 1 H NMR, IR as well as Raman (SERS) spectral methods. The QPs in bulk gave more expected irregular cis/trans polymers while the QPs in acetonitrile solution gave high-cis polymers. A series of prepared symmetrical bi-pyridylacetylene based monomers has been polymerized via QP approach resulting into a series of new ionic π-conjugated poly(disubstituted acetylene) type materials. It is therefore obvious that the mechanism of quaternization activation frequently applied on monosubstituted...

Application of Quantitative Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and Commercially Available EPR Standards for Electrochemical Study of the Subsituted Tetrathiafulvalene Oxidation.
Habániková, Shannelle Diana ; Tarábek, Ján (advisor) ; Mazúr, Milan (referee)
Tetrathiafulvalene derivatives are remarkable molecules, with various application, reported relatively recently. The radical cation of these compounds has very inter- esting optical, electronic, electrocatalytic superconducting and magnetic properties that have been intensively studied recently. Quantitative in-situ EPR voltammetric spectroelectrochemistry studies of 2-(2-hydroxyethylsulfanyl)-3-(benzylsulfanyl)-6,7- bis(octadecylsulphanyl)tetrathiafulvalene (TTF-Der3) have been carried out with the aim to confirm the oxidation sites, follow-up reactions (after the first electron transfer), and electrochemical behaviour. The diffusion process was confirmed by the depen- dence of current on the square root of the scan rate. It was claimed that the ratio of the number of generated radicals to transferred charge (electrons) for two representative TTF derivatives was determined to 5.5:500 for and 7:500 for TTF, indicating the follow- up reactions. Experiments were performed using the commercially available EPR standards, calibrated for this method (experimental setup). The latter was validated by quantitative EPR with standard 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl radical concentration (1·10−4 mol dm−3). For the ratios the confidence interval was reported for the first time for TTF-Der3 it was...
