Improvement Of Electrochemical And Structural Properties Of Polycarbazole By Simultaneous Electrodeposition Of Chitosan, Di̇dem Balun Kayan, Veysel Polat Jan 2017

Improvement Of Electrochemical And Structural Properties Of Polycarbazole By Simultaneous Electrodeposition Of Chitosan, Di̇dem Balun Kayan, Veysel Polat

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Polycarbazole/chitosan composite materials were synthesized electrochemically at various loadings of chitosan (Chi). Their electrochemical, structural, thermal, and morphological characterizations were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. Further electrical conductivity was measured using a four-point probe technique. The electrochemical results showed that the electrical conductivity of the polymeric composite film was increased by increasing the amount of Chi in the electrolyte medium. The as-prepared composite films exhibited enhanced electrical conductivity and structural properties of polycarbazole due to the presence of Chi in the composite films.

Investigation Of Solvent Effect On Photophysical Properties Of Some Sulfonamides Derivatives, Ebru Bozkurt, Hali̇se İnci̇ Gül, Mehtap Tuğrak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The photophysical properties of new sulfonamides synthesized recently were investigated in different solvents. Shifts in the absorption and fluorescence spectra of both compounds (S10 and S11) occurred depending on the solvents used. Ground and excited state dipole moments of the molecules were calculated using the spectral shifts of the compounds in different solvents and polarity function of solvents, respectively. They were 1.32 and 1.46 D for S10 and 1.71 and 4.89 D for S11. These results suggested that the excited state dipole moments are greater than those in ground state for both molecules. This means that the dyes were more …

Our studies on the selective catalytic reduction of NO (SCR-deNO) properties of M/$\gamma $-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ (M = Mn, Co, Cu) nanocatalysts are presented. All catalysts were prepared by homogeneous deposition precipitation using urea as the precursor for the precipitating agent. The SCR activity followed the order Mn/$\gamma $-Al$_{2}$O$_{3} >$ Cu/$\gamma $-Al$_{2}$O$_{3} >$ Co/$\gamma $-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$. The nanocatalysts were characterized with respect to their texture (N$_{2}$-BET), particle size (TEM), reducibility (H$_{2}$-TPR), and acidity (NH$_{3}$-TPD). The TEM analysis revealed that the metal species have superior dispersion with less agglomeration and sintering on $\gamma $-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ support. The H$_{2}$-TPR results confirmed that the Mn/$\gamma $-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ nanocatalyst …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

This study deals with the adsorption of two pesticides, carbendazim and flumetsulam, from aqueous solutions onto four homoionic-montmorillonite clays (Ag$^{+}$, Zn$^{2+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, and H$^{+})$. Equilibrium adsorption isotherm data were analyzed using Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Temkin isotherms. Linear and nonlinear fitting methods were compared to determine the best-fitting isotherms for the experimental data. Three error analysis methods were used to evaluate the data for each method: the coefficient of determination (R$^{2})$, sum of squared errors (SSE), and chi-square test ($\chi^{2})$. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms exhibited that the carbendazim adsorption mainly involved cation exchange with homoionic-montmorillonite adsorbents. However, for flumetsulam, the main mechanisms …

Synchrotron X-Ray Diffraction Studies Of $\Beta $-Ca$_{2-X}M_{X}$Sio$_{4}$ ($M$ = Mg And Sr), Anti Prodjosantoso, Brendan Kennedy

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The structures of Mg- and Sr-doped $\beta $-Ca$_{2}$SiO$_{4}$ have been established from high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. These silicates are all isostructural and the structures have been refined in the monoclinic space group, $P$2$_{1}$/$n$. As expected based on size arguments, the cell parameters increase as the amount of Sr increases and likewise decrease as the amount of Mg increases due the size effects of the dopant cation. In all cases the SiO$_{4}$ tetrahedra are essentially regular.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Solvent-based polyurethanes and poly(urethane-acrylate)s were synthesized using phosphorus-containing polyester polyols in order to compare the thermal properties of different polymer types. Since the location of the phosphorus group might have vital importance when comparing the thermal properties, phosphorus groups were kept on the pendant chains in poly(urethane-acrylate)s using phosphorus-containing urethane macromonomers while they were kept on the backbone in polyurethanes. The effect of molar mass of polyurethanes and pendant urethane chains of poly(urethane-acrylate)s on thermal properties was also investigated. Characterization of the synthesized polymers was carried out using FT-IR, GPC, NMR, and DSC followed by evaluation of the thermal properties.

Direct $\beta $-carbon activation of saturated carbonyl compounds for carrying out fast forward $\beta$-functionalization has been one of the most difficult to achieve tasks in catalysis. In the past few years, this challenging issue has attracted considerable attention among the chemical community that has led to fruitful developments to accomplish this elusive transformation. In this short review, we highlight recent developments for direct $\beta $-carbon functionalization of saturated carbonyl compounds based on conceptually new methods including oxidative enamine catalysis, $N$-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-assisted catalysis, and photoredox catalysis.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Copper/periodic mesoporous organosilica (Cu/PMO) nanocomposites provided a highly active, reusable, globular, solid-phase catalyst for click chemistry. The reaction proceeds by mixing organohalides, sodium azide, alkyne, and the catalyst in an aqueous medium to afford the desired products. The cost efficiency and recyclability of the catalyst up to six runs without appreciable loss of activity and high yields of products make this procedure greener.

Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) transition metal complexes of 2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-(4-phenyl) diazenyl] benzaldehyde oxime and 2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-(4-nitrophenyl) diazenyl] benzaldehyde oxime ligands were synthesized and characterized through NMR, IR, ESI mass, and UV analysis. DNA binding abilities of the complexes were revealed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer with the absorption titration and competitive binding techniques. Hydrolytic and oxidative DNA cleavage activities under different conditions were also proved. Topoisomerase I inhibition efficiencies and in vitro free radical scavenging activities of all complexes were examined. Finally, the selective cytotoxic potentials of all complexes were evaluated in human colon cancer, normal colon, and fibroblast cell lines …

The Multiple Effects Of Organoclay And Solvent Evaporation On Hydrophobicity Of Composite Surfaces, Haci Hasan Yolcu, Ahmet Gürses, Rabah Boukherroub

A superhydrophobic high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/organoclay composite material with a water-static contact angle of $\sim $162$^{\circ}$ and low hysteresis (7$^{\circ})$ was prepared by a simple solution-intercalation technique. This one-step method consists of the insertion of organoclay, produced through cation exchange with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), in the polymer matrix at 120 $^{\circ}$C in xylene. In this process, evaporation of the solvent and organoclay amount are key factors for the achievement of superhydrophobicity. We characterized composite material with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and contact angle measurements. The characterizations showed that the organoclay provides a place for …
