Thesis Author Bui Thanh Thao 11 ABSTRACT A conjugated diblock copolymer of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(2-(4,6- dichlorotriazin-2-yl]oxy)ethyl methacrylate) (P3HT-b-PDCTMA) has been obtained via the combination of Grignard metathesis method (GRIM) and organo-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization reaction (ATRP) with a polymerization conversion of 73%.
The synthesized diblock copolymer P3HT-b-PDCTMA exhibited an Mn of 17,500 g/mol, which is approximately close to the theoretical value, and with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 1. The conjugated diblock copolymer P3HT-b-PDCTMA bears functional reactive triazine chloride groups that act as a platform to react with mercaptan or amine groups via efficient nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions. In addition, diblock copolymers based on the rod segment of regioregular poly(3- hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and a coil segment of poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-random-1-pyrenylmethyl methacrylate) (PEDMAEMA-r-PyMA)) was also synthesized successfully by Grignard metathesis method and atom transfer radical polymerization reaction. The obtained copolymer was well-defined with an average molecular weight of 11,300 g/mol and low polydispersity below 1.
Interestingly, P3HT-b-P(DMAEMA-r-PyMA) was examined as a possible chemosensor for trace detection of the trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosive. On the other hand, the conjugated molecules based on pyrene and dithienopyrrole derivatives including 4-(2-ethylhexyl)-2-(pyren-1-yl)-4H-dithieno[3,2-b:2’,3’- d]pyrrole (EP4HP) and 4-(2-ethylhexyl)-2,6-di(pyren-1-yl)-4H-dithieno[3,2-b:2’,3’- d]pyrrole (EDP4HP) have been successfully synthesized via C—H direct arylation reaction. The conjugated molecules exhibited efficient fluorescence quenching toward herbicide mesotrione as nitroaromatic pesticides that could be promising candidates as the chemosensor for tracing nitroaromatic pesticides. Finally, two novel low-bandgap conjugated donor-acceptor copolymers poly(alkyl-POZ-DPP) and poly(benzoylalkyl-POZ-DPP) based on phenoxazine with ethylhexyl/hexyl benzoyl side chain and diketopyrrolopyrrole were successfully synthesized by Pd-catalyzed direct arylation coupling polycondensation.
The iV phenoxazine-based polymers with hexyl benzoyl side chains have higher molecular weights than those with branched ethylhexyl side chains and the benzoyl substitution also resulted in a broadening and redshift of the solid-state absorption spectra of the corresponding copolymer.

VI ACKNOWLEDGMENT I reserve special thanks to my research advisor, Assoc. Nguyen Tran Ha, who have supported me over the course of my research work. Their motivation, patience, enthusiasm, and immense knowledge have kept me going during the past four years. I was so lucky to have such a precious opportunity to work under their guidance.
I really would like to learn more from such renowned and respected chemists. I would also like to thank Prof. Phan Thanh Son Nam for their insight and questions that have undoubtedly helped me progress to this point, guiding me on how to recognize and find the best ways to solve scientific problems. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge all members of my group (Doan Kim Bao, Nguyen Huu Tam, Tran Duc Chau) for the stimulating discussions in Chemistry Division.
Additionally, I wish to acknowledge four undergraduate students (Nguyen Thi Cam Hong,) and a graduate student (Nguyen Le Phuong Thao) for their help during the time they studied in the laboratory. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Nguyen Cong Mau for always encouraging me whenever I step back or face difficulties in studying. I would like to thank my best friend: Assoc.
Dang Huynh Giao who has always been by my side encouraging, reminding and accompanying me throughout my study. I would also like to thank the Leader: Assoc. Pham Van Phuc and my colleagues: MS. Doan Thi Bich Loc and MS.
Nguyen Thi Xuan Trang at the Science and Technology Development Journal, VNU-HCM for encouraging me, creating favorable conditions, and supporting me so that I could complete the project. My deepest gratitude to my family: my parents, my husband Duong Vinh Hung and my daughter Nguyen Ngoc Xuan Mai. The support and love from my family is of inestimable value.
