Zno Nanoflake Arrays Prepared Via Anodization And Their Performance In The Photodegradation Of Methyl Orange, Huey-Shya Goh, Rohana Adnan, Muhammad Akhyar Farrukh

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In the present work, anodization of zinc foil was investigated in a mixed electrolyte of ammonium sulfate and sodium hydroxide under the influence of different anodization times and concentrations of the electrolyte while the temperature and voltage were kept constant. The ZnO nanoflake arrays formed on Zn foil were characterized using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The size of the nanoflakes increased as the anodization time increased, while increasing the concentration of (NH_4)_2SO_4 increased the dissolution of the nanoflakes. Upon stirring, the nanoflakes that formed were more uniform …

Voltammetric Behavior Of Indole-3-Acetic Acid And Kinetin At Pencil-Lead Graphite Electrode And Their Simultaneous Determination In The Presence Of Anionic Surfactant, Yavuz Yardim, Zühre Şentürk

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A method was developed for the simultaneous determination of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and kinetin, based on the oxidation of both phytohormones at a pencil-lead graphite electrode. The electrochemical behaviors were examined by cyclic, linear sweep, and square-wave voltammetry in the pH range of 2-12. In Britton-Robinson buffer solution (pH 6), the oxidation peaks of IAA and kinetin are well separated by square-wave voltammetry. By adding an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylsulfate) in a concentration of 50 \mu M, the sensitivity of kinetin was increased significantly without reducing the resolution. The detection limits were 0.14 and 0.11 \mu M (24.53 and 23.67 …

Bromination Of 2,3-Dihydrobenzobarrelene And Synthesis Of Its Mono- And Dibromide Derivatives: Unexpected Wagner-Meerwein Rearrangement On Silica Gel, Selçuk Eşsi̇z, Mehmet Emi̇n Şengül, Ertan Şahi̇n, Ari̇f Daştan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The bromination reaction of dihydrobenzobarrelene under different conditions was studied. The bromination reaction of dihydrobenzobarrelene with molecular bromine gave only a Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement product by aryl and alkyl migration. Its high-temperature bromination reaction resulted in the formation of normal addition products besides rearrangement products. The bromination reaction of the alkene with 1,2- dibromotetrachloroethane (DBTCE) gave a non-rearrangement product as the sole product. The synthesis and bromination reaction of 2-bromodihydrobenzobarrelene was also studied. An unexpected Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement was observed on silica gel during the column chromatography of isomeric tribromides. Herein, we report the results of the synthesis, and the X-ray crystal …

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Study On Intercalation And Anomalous Diffusion Of Alcl_4^- Ions Into Graphite In Basic Molten Salt, Ali Ehsani, Mohammad Ghasem Mahjani, Majid Jafarian Jan 2011

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Study On Intercalation And Anomalous Diffusion Of Alcl_4^- Ions Into Graphite In Basic Molten Salt, Ali Ehsani, Mohammad Ghasem Mahjani, Majid Jafarian

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was employed to investigate diffusion of AlCl_4^- ions in basic (AlCl_3-NaCl-KCl) molten salt. Nyquist plots in different DC offset potentials showed finite and restricted aluminum ion diffusion due to insertion and blocking in the graphite electrode. The general Warburg, open Warburg, and short Warburg impedance in the complex Nyquist plot of this system showed the anomalous diffusion behavior of the ions in the graphite electrode. The diffusion coefficient of the AlCl_4^- ions was calculated from the slope of the Warburg line in a totally blocking film in the graphite electrode and was found to be 2.8 …

Studies On The Mechanism Of Phosphazene Ring-Opening Polymerization (Rop), Selen Bi̇lge

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study, the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic trimer N_3P_3Cl_6 catalyzed by [Et_3Si(N_3 P_3Cl_6)][CHB_{11}H_5Br_6] (3) obtained from the reaction of N_3P_3Cl_6 (1) and Et_3Si(CHB_{11}H_5Br_6) (2) at room temperature was investigated. This provided a unique opportunity to explore the polymerization mechanism. The coordinatively unsaturated cation [N_3P_3Cl_5]^+ is responsible for the ROP of N_3P_3Cl_6, and is formed by the intramolecular elimination of Et_3SiCl from 3. The detection of Et_3SiCl by ^1H-NMR as the catalysis proceeded offers new evidence for the formation of [N_3P_3Cl_5]^+. The progress of the catalysis was followed using ^{31} P-NMR and revealed the build-up of a polymer. Cyclic …

Synthesis Of Starch-G-Poly(Acrylic Acid-Co-2-Hydroxy Ethyl Methacrylate) As A Potential Ph-Sensitive Hydrogel-Based Drug Delivery System, Mohammad Sadeghi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The present work focused on the design of a drug delivery system (DDS) based on pH-sensitive hydrogel. The hydrogels were prepared via graft copolymerization of mixtures of acrylic acid (AA) and 2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) onto starch backbones by a free radical polymerization technique. Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO_3) was added to function as a foaming agent under acidic conditions, rendering the hydrogels to be porous. The porous structure of the hydrogel was essential in this system to yield a large surface area so that 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) release could be facilitated. The hydrogel, thus prepared, possessed a porous structure as determined by …


Electrocatalytic Oxidation Of Methanol At Pd And Pt Ad-Layer Modified Au(111) Electrodes In Alkaline Solution, Süleyman Koçak, Zekerya Dursun, Fatma Ni̇l Ertaş Jan 2011

Electrocatalytic Oxidation Of Methanol At Pd And Pt Ad-Layer Modified Au(111) Electrodes In Alkaline Solution, Süleyman Koçak, Zekerya Dursun, Fatma Ni̇l Ertaş

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The electrochemical oxidation of methanol was investigated by using various ad-layer modified Au(111) electrodes in alkaline media in comparison to Au(111), polycrystalline Pd, and polycrystalline Pt electrodes. Catalytic activity of gold toward methanol oxidation has tended to increase in more alkaline media, as reflected in the oxidation peak in the concentration range of NaOH (0.1-3.0 M) studied here. The oxidation peak potential of methanol shifted to more negative potentials, indicating a pH-dependent surface reaction. Among the electrodes studied, single-crystal gold electrode surfaces modified with Pd and Pt ad-layers displayed the highest catalytic activity for methanol oxidation. Additional shifts of about …


A New And Simple Procedure For The Polarographic Speciation And Determination Of Trace Inorganic As(Iii) And As(V) Species, Ülkü Ünal, Güler Somer Jan 2011

A New And Simple Procedure For The Polarographic Speciation And Determination Of Trace Inorganic As(Iii) And As(V) Species, Ülkü Ünal, Güler Somer

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new and simple differential pulse polarographic method was developed for the trace determination of As(III) and As(V) species in the same sample. Among several electrolytes, 0.1 M HCl was found to be the most suitable. As(III) had 3 peaks in this medium, and the peak at --0.82 V was chosen because of its peak shape and response to standard additions. In this medium, the limit of detection for As(III) was found to be 1.5 \times 10^{-7} M. Since As(V) is not electroactive, it had to be reduced first into As(III). For this purpose, KI in an acidic and hot …

Amphiphilic And Chiral Unsymmetrical Perylene Dye For Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells, Hurmus Refiker, Hüri̇ye İci̇l

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A novel amphiphilic, unsymmetrically substituted N-((2S)-2-aminohexanoic acid)-N'-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]-3,4,9,10- perylenetetracarboxydiimide with 2 different chiral centers was synthesized and characterized. Chiral amphiphilicity, which can be tunable between hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts, is responsible for controlled self-assembly through intermolecular hydrogen bonding (N-H \cdots O). The product showed high thermal stability but partial solubility in common organic solvents. We observed 2 isosbestic points at 533 and 611 nm, confirming the presence of overlapped monomer and excimer emissions in the temperature range of 10-80 °C. Fluorescence quenching in m-cresol was attributed to charge-transfer interactions. Importantly, the excited state of the chiral dye can decay only by …
