Electrocatalytic Oxidation Of D-Glucose Using A Cd Ad-Atom-Modified Au(111) Electrode In Alkaline Solution, Zekerya Dursun, Sami Ben Aoun, Isao Taniguchi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Au(111) single crystal electrodes were modified by underpotential deposition (UPD) of Cd ad-atoms with different coverages, which were used for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose in alkaline media. The catalytic activity of the electrodes was dependent on how the Cd ad-atoms covered the surface. Under the presented experimental conditions the monolayer (ML) Cd ad-atom-covered Au(111) electrode had the best catalytic activity on D-glucose oxidation, in terms of both potential shifts and peak current increases, as compared to the 0.11, 0.5, and 2 ML covered and bare Au(111) electrodes. Double layer capacity measurements revealed that the shifts of the potential of …

Hydrogenation Of Citral Over Ni And Ni-Sn Catalysts, Hi̇lal Aykaç, Selahatti̇n Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Liquid phase citral hydrogenation over zeolite-supported monometallic Ni and bimetallic Ni-Sn catalysts was studied. The zeolite support materials were Na-Y, Na-mordenite, and clinoptilolite.

Hydrogenation Of Citral Over Pt And Pt-Sn Catalysts, Hi̇lal Aykaç, Selahatti̇n Yilmaz Jan 2008

Hydrogenation Of Citral Over Pt And Pt-Sn Catalysts, Hi̇lal Aykaç, Selahatti̇n Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Hydrogenation of citral on monometallic (Pt) and bimetallic (Pt-Sn) catalysts was investigated. It was found that the catalyst activities and product distributions were different over Na-Y and Clino supports. Among monometallic catalysts, Pt/Na-Y was more selective to citronellol (3.9%) and unsaturated alcohols, geraniol and nerol, (14.1%). Sn addition increased the catalyst activities. However, its effect on product distribution differed. Yield of geraniol+nerol changed from 5.1% to 19.7% over Clino. However, selectivity to unsaturated alcohols over Na-Y decreased when it was prepared as a bimetallic catalyst support. Unsaturated alcohol formation was favored when there was a metal support interaction over monometallic …

Synthesis Of New Azo Dyes And Copper(Ii) Complexes Derived From Barbituric Acid And 4-Aminobenzoylhydrazone, Bülent Kirkan, Ramazan Gup

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Four new azo dyes, L^1, L^2, L^3, and L^4, were prepared by linking benzaldehyde p-aminobenzoylhydrazone (3) and p-hydroxybenzaldehyede p--aminobenzoylhydrazone (4) to barbituric acid and 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid through diazo-coupling reactions. Reactions of the azo-dyes with copper chloride and bidentate ligand, 1,10-phenanthroline, produced mixed-ligand dinuclear complexes with general stoichiometry [Cu_2L(phen)_2]Cl_2 (7, 8, 9, and 10). The structures of both azo dyes and their complexes were identified by elemental analyses, FT-IR, ^1H-NMR, UV-VIS, magnetic susceptibility, and mass spectral data.

A new orthorhombic phase of Na_2LaOPO_4 (sodium lanthanum oxyphosphate), and novel Na_2NdOPO_4 (sodium neodymium oxyphosphate), Na_2SmOPO_4 (sodium samarium oxyphosphate) were synthesized by solid state reactions of Na_2CO_3, NH_4H_2PO_4, and Ln_2O_3 (Ln = La, Nd, and Sm). The unit cell dimensions were calculated using their X-ray powder diffraction data, which were a = 13.60(1), b = 12.71(1), and c = 6.96(1) Å, a = 13.466(5), b = 12.547(6), and c = 6.932(5) Å, and a = 13.54(1), b = 12.577(8), and c = 7.047(5) Å, respectively, and the probable space group was Pmm2. Using the same procedure orthorhombic Na_2DyOPO_4 (sodium dysprosium …
