Résumé     
Polytriphenylamine (PTPA), a Schiff base polymer containing triphenylamine (TPA) segments and whose monomer contains triphenylamine and thiophene end groups, was synthesized. The monomer structure enabled the polymerization to be performed under conditions similar to those of thiophene. Oxidative coupling using FeCl3 as oxidizing agent in anhydrous CHCl3 medium was employed for the polymer synthesis. Scanning electron microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry were used to characterize the polymer. PTPA exhibited high thermal stability with a mass loss of 13.3 \% at 546.5 degrees C. The fluorescence spectrum showed emission at 300-550 nm and the optical band gap was found to be 2.6 eV. It was also established that PTPA forms complexes with Lewis acids, e.g. MoO3 and CuI. Its absorption band widened and extended up to the near-IR. It was seen that PTPA is rich in pi-electrons and thus can act as electron donor. The value of the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) was -5.35 eV indicating its potential application in optoelectronic devices. An attempt was also made to investigate the photovoltaic potential of PTPA. Organic photovoltaic devices with various buffer layer structures, namely ITO/CuI/PTPA/C-60/BCP/Al, ITO/MoO3/PTPA/C-60/BCP/Al, and ITO/MoO3/CuI/PTPA/C-60/BCP/Al, where ITO stands for indium tin oxide and BCP for bathocuproine, were utilized for the studies. Power conversion efficiency of these devices ranged between 0.21 and 0.43\% under simulated AM 1.5 illumination (100 mW cm(-2)). This result proved that polymers containing TPA in the main chain hold promising properties that would allow their use in photovoltaic devices. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
