Azobenzene Side-Chain Liquid Crystalline Polyesters With Outstanding Optical Storage Properties, S. Hvilsted, M. Pedersen, N.C.R. Holme, P.S. Ramanujan Jan 1998

Azobenzene Side-Chain Liquid Crystalline Polyesters With Outstanding Optical Storage Properties, S. Hvilsted, M. Pedersen, N.C.R. Holme, P.S. Ramanujan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A flexible azobenzene side-chain liquid crystalline (SCLC) polyester architecture employed for reversible optical storage is described. The modular design allows four structural parameters to be individually modified. These parameters: {\em i}- the methylene side-chain spacer length, {\em ii}- the substituent on azobenzene, {\em iii}- the methylene main-chain segment length, and {\em iv}- the polyester molecular mass, all influence the optical storage properties. A general synthetic route to novel mesogenic azobenzene diols comprising parameters {\em i} and {\em ii} is outlined. Polyesters with molecular masses (parameter {\em iv}) up to 100,000 are routinely obtained by melt transesterification of the novel diols …


Xps Investigations On Conducting Polymers, Ş. Süzer, Ö. Bi̇rer, U.A. Sevi̇l, O. Güven Jan 1998

Xps Investigations On Conducting Polymers, Ş. Süzer, Ö. Bi̇rer, U.A. Sevi̇l, O. Güven

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS, was used for the characterization of electrically conducting polymeric materials. In the spectrum of polypyrrole, PPy, the Nls region exhibits two peaks, at 402.0 and 399.8 eV, corresponding to -N$^+$- and -N- moieties, respectively. The intensity of the N$^+$ peak decreases as the material loses its conductivity, hence the ratio of the experimentally derived N$^+$/C atomic ratio correlates exponentially with the measured conductivity. A similar observation also exists between the F$^-$/C atomic ratio both in polypyrrole and polythiophene. In the XPS spectrum of the composite material prepared using polyaniline, PAN and polyvinylchloride, PVC, two different kinds …


Dimerization Of Pyrrole, Mine Yurtsever, Ersin Yurtsever Jan 1998

Dimerization Of Pyrrole, Mine Yurtsever, Ersin Yurtsever

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Accurate ab-inito quantum mechanical calculations of pyrrole dimers are reported. The thermodynamical stabilities of dimers with $\alpha - \alpha, \alpha - \beta$, and $\beta - \beta$ type linkages are compared in order to predict the possibilities of branching in polypyrroles. Calculations employing large basis sets and including electron correlation effects predict the $\alpha - \alpha$ dimers as the most stable form. However, an $\alpha - \beta$ type bonding requires only 1.5-2.0 kcal/mol, and the energy necessary to introduce a $\beta - \beta$ type bond is 3.6-4.0 kcal/mol. These values show that a high degree of branching is possible even at …


Heme Transfer Reactions: An Important Prerequisite For Synthetic Oxygen Carriers, Jan Paul, Wenhua Chen, Per-Ingvar Ohlsson, Michael Smith Jan 1998

Heme Transfer Reactions: An Important Prerequisite For Synthetic Oxygen Carriers, Jan Paul, Wenhua Chen, Per-Ingvar Ohlsson, Michael Smith

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Electronic changes of iron- and metal free porphyrins are reviewed in light of their importance to modify the ferri/ferro reduction potential and energy dissipation between ligated carbon monoxide and the porphyrin chelate. Substitutions at positions 2 and 4 are effective ways to exercise this influence. Other measures include exposure to water and modifications of axial ligation, including the \lq three-ligand' case. These measures will also influence the stability of recombined hemin-protein entities, as apparent from the kinetics of heme-transfer from a modified donor protein to apomyoglobin, but the stability appears to be related to the bulkiness of 2,4-substitutional groups rather …

The new complexes were analyzed by IR and ^1H-NMR spectroscopy.


The Adsorption Isotherms Of The Bleaching Of Sun Ower-Seed Oil, Hüseyin Topallar Jan 1998

The Adsorption Isotherms Of The Bleaching Of Sun Ower-Seed Oil, Hüseyin Topallar

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study, the absorbance measurements were taken for the bleaching of sunflower-seed oil with wt. 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 % of clay at 60, 70, 80 and 90°C. Bentonite EY-09 was used as the bleaching clay. Since the heat evolved during adsorption (0.33-1.07 kJ mol^{-1}) was less than 20 kJ mol^{-1}, the forces between the adsorbent and adsorbate appear to be van der Waals forces, and this type of adsorption is physical or van der Waals adsorption. Thus, it was seen that the Freundlich equation was more applicable than the Langmuir equation to the experimental adsorption isotherms for …


Theoretical Studies On The Configurations Of Benzhomobarrelene Derivatives, Rıza Abbasoğlu, Abdullah Menzek, Metin Balci Jan 1998

Theoretical Studies On The Configurations Of Benzhomobarrelene Derivatives, Rıza Abbasoğlu, Abdullah Menzek, Metin Balci

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Reaction of 7-carbomethoxy-cycloheptatriene with benzyne resulted in the formation of only one benzhomobarrelene isomer, {\bf 5A}. Theoretically, four addition products, {\bf 5A-D}, can be formed from this reaction. Certain molecular mechanic calculations (MM2 force field) have been undertaken on these isomers. It has been shown that the isomers {\bf 5A} and {\bf 5C} have the lowest energies. The non-existence of {\bf 5C} has been discussed in terms of a benzyne approach to a norcaradiene structure. Furthermore, MM2 calculations on two different conformers of {\bf 5A} have revealed that the bisected conformer {\bf 5AE} has the highest strain energy. However, AM1 …

Mechanisms related to the formation of polymers and electroactivity loss were proposed. The effect of thiophene on the electropreparation and properties of polyaniline were also investigated. The presence of thiophene in solutions of aniline in acetonitrile accelerates the formation and causes an improvement in the conductivity of polyaniline films. Thiophene, which catalyzes the polyaniline formation, enters into the structure of …


Electrocatalytic Properties Of Platinum Doped Polyaniline And Polypyrrole Electrodes, F. Kadirgan, F. Fiçicioğlu, İ. Beceri̇k Jan 1998

Electrocatalytic Properties Of Platinum Doped Polyaniline And Polypyrrole Electrodes, F. Kadirgan, F. Fiçicioğlu, İ. Beceri̇k

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

This review paper aims to show how the electrochemical behaviour of polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole (PPy) electrodes modified by platinum help to improve the oxidation of organic molecules such as methanol, ethylene glycol and glucose. Although the amount of platinum deposited was very small, i.e., 0.1 mg.cm$^{-2}$, the catalytic activity obtained was comparable to bulk platinum. Another notable point is the reduction of the poisoning effect, which is the main problem faced in the electrooxidation of organic molecules for fuel cell applications.

Intrinsic Semiconducting Materials On Phthalocyanine Basis, Michael Hanack

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Stacked transition metal macrocycles [MacM(L)]$_n$ with M e.g. Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh and Mac = phthalocyanine (Pc) 1,2- or 2,3-naphthalocyanine (1,2-, 2,3-Nc) were synthesized. The bridging ligands (L) may be e.g. pyrazine (pyz) or $s$-tetrazine (tz). In general, these complexes [MacM(L)]$_n$ are insoluble in organic solvents; however, soluble oligomers [R$_4$PcM(L)]$_n$ can be prepared using metallomacrocycles R$_n$PcM, R = $t$-bu, et, OR, M = Fe, Ru, which are substituted in the peripheric positions. A systematic investigation of the influence of the bridging ligands on the semiconducting properties in [MacM(L)]$_n$ reveals that changing L, e.g., from dabco over pyz to tz …

Electrochromism Of Sol-Gel Derived Niobium Oxide Films, M. Maçek, B. Orel Jan 1998

Electrochromism Of Sol-Gel Derived Niobium Oxide Films, M. Maçek, B. Orel

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Niobium oxide films are promising cathodic electrochromics that in many aspects can compete with the more frequently studied WO$_3$ films. The films reported herein were prepared using the sol-gel route from a NbCl$_5$ precursor. The electrochromic properties were pronounced for crystalline films that are heat-treated at 500^oC and exhibited transmittance changes between coloured and bleached states of 60 \% in the UV and 80 \% in the VIS-NIR regions. Improved bleaching and more reversible electrochromism of thick niobium oxide films (d $>$ 250 nm) were obtained by lithiation.


Dc Conduction In Electrochemically Synthesized Polypyrrole Films, Akif Kaynak Jan 1998

Dc Conduction In Electrochemically Synthesized Polypyrrole Films, Akif Kaynak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

DC conductivity measurements were performed by modified four-probe rig on electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole films at a temperature range of -30^oC to 120^oC. Conductivity increased with temperature. The temperature dependence of conductivity was very high for lightly doped polymers, decreasing as the doping level increased. The model used to describe the conduction process was the conduction model originally developed for amorphous silicon by Mott and Davis. When applied to conducting polymers, it assumes that electron transport originates from localized or fixed states within the polymer chain. The charge transfer between the chains takes place by hopping, referred to as phonon-assisted hopping, …

Heat Treatment Of Maceral Groups Obtained From Turkish Bituminous Coals, Elif Sultan Vayi̇soğlu, Nevin Gaye Erbatur

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The dilatation properties of parent coals and their maceral fractions were examined. In all the coal samples, the main petrographic constituent was the vitrinite maceral. Reflectance of the vitrinite and inertinite macerals increased after carbonization, while the liptinite maceral disappeared and caused large pores in the vitrinite macerals. All of the coals developed anisotropic coke.


Some Recursive Relationships Between Acenes And Cyclacenes, Lemi Türker Jan 1998

Some Recursive Relationships Between Acenes And Cyclacenes, Lemi Türker

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Some structural relationships between acenes and cyclacenes both H\\"{u}ckel- and Mobius-type and within the same class of compounds were demonstrated by the recursive analysis of their $E_{\pi}$ and $I_{\pi}$ values or the first differences thereof. It was found that the first differences of $E_{\pi}$ and $I_{\pi}$ tend to have certain limit values as the number of benzenoid rings increases in each class of compounds studied.
