Calculation Of Multi-Center Integrals For The Region Of Moderate And Weak Overlap, Abdulhali̇k Karabulut, Gökhan Budak, Lütfü Demi̇r, Nagi̇f Sefteroğlu Nabi̇yev, Yusuf Şahi̇n Jan 2001

Calculation Of Multi-Center Integrals For The Region Of Moderate And Weak Overlap, Abdulhali̇k Karabulut, Gökhan Budak, Lütfü Demi̇r, Nagi̇f Sefteroğlu Nabi̇yev, Yusuf Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study a general formula was established for multi-center integrals over Gaussian basis sets using the two-center expansion of nuclear attraction and electron repulsion potentials. The terms of the formula are the analytical functions of interatomic distances. Three kinds of integrals contained in these formulae can be evaluated analytically. In the presented method, unlike many other popular methods, the numerical integrations procedure is unnecessary since it does not contain the incomplete gamma function. A computer program was written and tested for various orbitals. The calculations show that the series converge very rapidly.


Effect Of Acid Treatment On Volumetric Swelling Ratios Of Coals, Nejat Mesci̇, Aki̇f Şenelt, Taner Toğrul, Aral Olcay Jan 2001

Effect Of Acid Treatment On Volumetric Swelling Ratios Of Coals, Nejat Mesci̇, Aki̇f Şenelt, Taner Toğrul, Aral Olcay

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

To remove Ca^{2+} ions, six low rank coals and one coking coal were treated with 0.1 and l.0 N HC1 for 24 h. IR spectra and proximate analysis of the lignites indicated that only slight structural changes had occurred during acid treatment. The swelling ratios of parent and acid-treated coal samples showed that removal of Ca^{2+} resulted in an increase in the swelling ratios. Higher swelling ratios were obtained with acid-washed coal samples. While the highest swelling ratios of the parent lignites were obtained in ethylenediamine, those of acid-treated samples were obtained in pyridine and dimethylformamide.

New Photochemical And Electrochemical Methods For The Degradation Of Pesticides In Aqueous Media. Environmental Applications, J. J. Aaron, Mehmet A. Oturan Jan 2001

New Photochemical And Electrochemical Methods For The Degradation Of Pesticides In Aqueous Media. Environmental Applications, J. J. Aaron, Mehmet A. Oturan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The development of new electrochemical and photochemical methods for the decontamination of natural water containing significant concentrations of aromatic pesticides is described. The electrochemical method is based on the electro-Fenton process, i.e. the simultaneous reduction of O_{2} and Fe^{3+} ions. Hydroxyl (OH^{.}) radicals are electrosynthesized in aqueous solutions, followed by complete mineralization of the initial pollutants. The photochemical methods involve either a direct photodegradation reaction of pesticides by UV light, or indirect photodegradation processes including H_{2}O_{2} photolysis or photo-Fenton reagents (H_{2}O_{2}/ Fe^{3+} ). Examples of the application of these methods to chlorophenoxy acid herbicides and four aromatic pesticides (bendiocarb, pirimiphos-methyl, …

Voltammetric And Polarographic Studies Of Eriochrome Black T - Nickel(Ii) Complex, Osman Çakir, Emi̇ne Ertürk Coşkun, Ender Bi̇çer, Semi̇ha Çakir

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The electrochemical behaviour of complexes of Eriochrome Black T (EBT) with Ni(II) was studied. It was observed that EBT forms 1:1 and 1:2 complexes with Ni(II) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 6.0 by using Square-wave voltammetry (SWV), Cyclic voltammetry (CV), Direct Current Polarography (Sampled DCP) and Controlled Potential Coulometry (CPC). It was found that the reduction processes of Ni(II)-EBT complexes are irreversible. The stability constants of the Ni(II)-EBT complexes were evaluated with the DeFord-Hume procedure at different ligand concentrations using SWV. The logarithm values of stability constants of 1:1 and 1:2 Ni(II)-EBT complexes are 8.17 and 11.17, respectively.


Fluorimetric Detection Of Insulin In The Presence Of Eu(Iii) - {Pyridine - 2,6 - Dicarboxylate} Tris Complex, Elmas Gök, Serdar Ateş Jan 2001

Fluorimetric Detection Of Insulin In The Presence Of Eu(Iii) - {Pyridine - 2,6 - Dicarboxylate} Tris Complex, Elmas Gök, Serdar Ateş

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Bovine insulin solutions (pH=9.3) have maximum absorption at 278 \pm 2 nm and an intrinsic emission at 305 nm when excited at 282 nm. The relative fluorescence intensities show linear dependence on its concentration: 10 \mug/mL< [Ins] < 200 \mug/mL. When Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-} tris complex is added to these solutions, it has a hyperchromic effect at 278 nm absorption band of insulin, sensitizing the emission intensities of central Eu^{3+} metal ion of the complex at 590 and 615 nm, and simultaneously quenching the emission intensity of hormone at 305 nm. Stern-Volmer plots show that a mechanism of bimolecular quenching at 305 nm and sensitization at 615 nm are valid up to a mole ratio, R = [Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-}]/[Ins] < 2.0. An intramolecular rather than an intermolecular energy transfer is proposed. An apparent binding constant, log K_{app}=4.70 \pm 0.13, is calculated for Ins-[Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-}]_{2} type product, the presence of which may offer a new luminescence technique as a diagnostic tool and an alternative to radio-iodinated (^{131}I -) insulin. A simple, rapid and accurate quantitation of insulin is proposed by using a fixed concentration of Eu(PDA)_{3}^{3-}, and measuring its initial F_{0} at \lambda_{exc}/ \lambda_{em}=282/615 nm and the difference, \DeltaF after sensitization when \sim 100 microliters of insulin sample is added. The coefficient of variation (CV), the relative error and minimum detectable amount of bovine insulin hormone are found to be 3.0%, 1.2% and 7.3 \pm 0.2 \mug /mL respectively.


Evidence For A Hybrid Ping Pong-Semirandom Mechanism For Human Jejunal Glutathione Disulfide Reductase, Nazmi̇ Özer, İzzet Hamdi̇ Öğüş Jan 2001

Evidence For A Hybrid Ping Pong-Semirandom Mechanism For Human Jejunal Glutathione Disulfide Reductase, Nazmi̇ Özer, İzzet Hamdi̇ Öğüş

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Initial rate versus substrate concentration, [S], profiles (at pH 7.4, 37^oC) for human jejunal glutathione disulfide reductase indicated partial substrate inhibition by GSSG at fixed [NADPH] \le 40 \mu M. Saturation by NADPH assumed an increasingly sigmoidal character at fixed [GSSG] \ge 20 \mu M. The results were interpreted in terms of a hybrid ping pong-semirandom mechanism proceeding through both E.NADPH (ping pong pathway) and E.GSSG (ordered pathway) complexes. When V(apparent) versus [GSSG] and [NADPH] were plotted, hyperbolic curves were obtained. Plotting 1/Vm(apparent) versus 1/[NADPH] and 1/[GSSG] yielded two lines with different slopes but intersecting at the same point on …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The cycloaddition reactions of cis-3,8-dicarbomethoxy-3,8-dihydroheptalene cis-2 and trans-3,8-dicarbomethoxy-3,8-dihydroheptalene trans-2 with various dienophiles such as dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), p-benzoquinone, maleic anhydride, tetracyanoethylene, naphtoquinone gave monoaddition products 15-23. Further addition of benzyne and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to 18 resulted in the formation of the compounds syn-25 and syn-26 having pyramidalized double bonds. The addition of benzyne to 21 and the addition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to 21, 22 and 23 gave the anti configuration products anti-26, 27 and 28, respectively. X-ray structures of syn-25, syn-26 and anti-26 show the pyramidalized angles to be 16.5^o, 19.9^o and 8.0^o, respectively.
