Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Protonation constants of salicylideneaniline and methyl-, ethyl-, methoxy- fluoro-, chloro-, bromo- and iodo- substituted salicylideneanilines were determined by spectrophotomeric titrimetry in 10, 30, 50 and 70% ethanol-water mixtures at constant ionic strength and at 25^{o}C. The results obtained from this work were compared with those obtained using the potentimetric method. The difference between the results found with these two methods was approximately \pm $ 0.20 logK units. The spectrophotometric method was judged to be more suitable than the potentiometric method for halogen substituted salicylideneanilines with the low logK values and in the solvent mixture containing 10% ethanol, due to the …

Automated Recognition Of Ergogenic Aids Using Soft Independent Modeling Of Class Analogy (Simca), M. Praisler, J. Van Bocxlaer, A. De Leenheer, D. L. Massart

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The introduction of effective drug testing procedures in doping control reduced, but did not eliminate, their abuse by athletes. The most important analytical challenge is the recognition of the new analog compounds. In attempts to circumvent existing controlled substance laws, slightly modified chemical structures (by adding or changing substituents at various positions on the banned molecules) are used. As a result, no substance belonging to a prohibited class may be used nowadays, even if it has not been specifically listed. We present a chemometric procedure acting as an automated GC-FTIR screening test detecting the molecular structural similarity of unknown compounds …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

An electrochemical biosensor for the voltammetric detection of DNA sequences related to the bloom-forming genera of cyanobacteria, Microcystis spp., is described. A specific DNA ``probe'' is designed based on sequence polymorphism within the 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of the Microcystis spp. These single-stranded probes were immobilized onto carbon paste electrode (CPE) with the adsorption at a controlled potential. The probes were hybridized with the complementary ``target'' sequences at the electrode. The formed hybrids on the electrode surface were evaluated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) using methylene blue (MB) and tris (2,2' -- bipyridine) ruthenium (II) chloride …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new spectrophotometric method based on the formation of an ion-pair using bromothymol blue as ion-pair complexing reagent was developed for the determination of mexiletine hydrochloride in capsules. The ion-pair formed was highly coloured and easily extracted with dichloromethane. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range 1.08--10.8 \mu g.ml^{-1} at \lambda_{max} = 408 nm (r = 0.9999). The results obtained from the developed method were compared statistically with those obtained by the British Pharmacopeia method.

Anodic Behavior Of Tungsten In H_{3}Po_{4}-K_{2}So_{4}-H_{2}So_{4}/Koh Solutions, Mustafa Anik

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarizations were used to study the effect of pH on the anodic reaction characteristics of tungsten (W) in a very broad pH range (0.4-13). The open circuit potential was observed to decrease with a constant slope of 58 mV/pH, as pH increased. The oxide phase of W showed typical amphoteric surface behavior in the acidic regime. The oxide dissolution went through a minimum at pH 2.5, which was identified as the point of zero charge (pzc) of W--oxide. The oxide dissolution below the pzc was H^{+} -assisted and above the pzc was OH^{-}-assisted. At around the pzc …

The Protonation Constants Of Some Aliphatic Alkylamines In Ethanol-Water Mixtures, Esma Kiliç, Gülteki̇n Gökçe, Esi̇n Canel

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Protonation constants of methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and butylamines Were determined potentiometrically using an electrode system calibrated in concentration units of hydrogen ion in ethanol-water mixtures (10\% -80\% ethanol, v/v) at an ionic strength of 0.1 and at 25°C. The trend in the values of protonation constants of these aliphatic amines was explained in terms of the number of alkyl groups and solvent composition. The basicity orders were found to be NH_{3} < R_{3}N < RNH_{2} < R_{2}NH (R:-CH_{3}, -C_{2}H_{5}, -n-C_{3}H_{7} and --n-C_{4}H_{9}) in all the solvent mixtures studied.

Poly(Methacrylic) Acid And \Gamma-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxy Silane/Clay Nanocomposites Prepared By In-Situ Polymerization, Ahmet Gültek, Turgay Seçki̇n, Yunus Önal, M. Gali̇p İçduygu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Poly(methacrylic acid) and poly(acrylic acid) nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ polymerization of \gamma-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (A174)/clay nanocomposites in which the macromonomer was generated by grafting A-174 onto activated clay samples via hydroxyl groups or via intercalation. In- situ polymerization was carried out in the presence of an initiator. It was found that the structural affinity between the methacrylic or acrylic acid monomers and the amount of clay played an important role in the hybrid structure. The nanocomposites were quantified by both X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential thermal analysis (DTA).

Modeling Of Taqi Endonuclease Purification By Hplc, Mehmet Düzenli̇, Kutlu Ö. Ülgen Jan 2002

Modeling Of Taqi Endonuclease Purification By Hplc, Mehmet Düzenli̇, Kutlu Ö. Ülgen

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The present work is based on the previously reported purification study of TaqI endonuclease^{5} and aimed to simulate the experimentally obtained chromatograms in order to reduce the time and cost in the design, optimization and scaling up of purification processes. Three different models depending on equilibrium, rate and plate theories are used in the mathematical description of experimental elution profiles and the solutions of the model equations are compared. The equilibrium-dispersive theory provides excellent results in predicting the experimental chromatograms. It is thus recognized that band dispersion takes place in the column through axial dispersion and nonequilibrium effects. The user-friendly …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The distribution of nicotinic acid between water and Alamine 300 (tri-n-octylamine) dissolved in various (proton-donating and -accepting, polar and nonpolar) diluents, and a comparison with the extraction equilibria of pure diluent alone were studied at 298 K and a phase ratio of 1:1 (v/v). The cyclic alcohol/amine system yielded the highest synergistic extraction efficiency. The strength of the complex solvation was found to be reasonably high for halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons and nitrobenzene, activating mainly the formation of the acid_{1}-amine_{1} structure. The influence of the acid structure over distribution was evaluated through comparing the extractabilities of three acids containing different functional …
