Electrochemical Properties Of 1,3-Disubstituted Methyl Methoxy Phenyl-5-Phenylformazans And Comparison With Spectral Properties, Habi̇be Tezcan, Güler Ekmekci̇, Mehmet Levent Aksu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study, electrochemical behaviors of formazans were investigated. The compounds contained CH_3 and OCH_3 groups at the o-, m-, and p-positions of the 1-phenyl ring and an OCH_3 group at the p-position of the 3-phenyl ring. Their electrochemical behaviors, such as the number of electrons transferred, diffusion coefficients, and heterogeneous rate constants, were studied by cyclic voltammetry, ultramicrodisk electrode, and chronoamperometry. Possible mechanisms were proposed based upon the data obtained. There was a correlation between the absorption and electrochemical properties. A linear correlation was obtained between \lambda_{\max} and E_{red2} and Hammett substituent coefficients with E_{red2} and k_s values.

A New Method For Calculating The Vibration-Rotation-Tunneling Spectra Of Molecular Clusters And Its Application To The Water Dimer, Mahi̇r Erteki̇n Ocak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new method is developed for calculating the vibration-rotation-tunneling spectra of molecular clusters consisting of rigid monomers. The method is based on generation of optimized bases for each monomer. First, a sequential symmetry adaptation procedure is developed for relating the symmetries of monomer basis functions with the symmetries of the eigenstates of the cluster. Then this symmetry adaptation procedure is used in the generation of optimized bases and combining them for finding the eigenstates. Symmetry adaptation problems related to the generation of optimized bases are identified and solutions are suggested. The method is applied to the water dimer by using …

Disposable Carbon Electrodes As An Alternative For The Direct Voltammetric Determination Of Alkyl Phenols From Water Samples, Iulia Gabriela David, Irinel Adriana Badea, Gabriel Lucian Radu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Disposable sensors based on a pencil graphite electrode were described for detection of alkyl phenols. The performances of the disposable bare pencil graphite electrode (PGE) and PGE modified with carbon nanotubes, regarding the cyclic and differential pulse voltammetric determination of 4-nonylphenol, 4-octylphenol, and 4-tert-octylphenol, were compared. Some experimental variables of the electrode surface pretreatment and measurement parameters were optimized. Using a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.40) as the supporting electrolyte, alkyl phenols gave a well-defined oxidation peak at about 700 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. The detection limits established for each alkyl phenol were: 0.25 \muM for 4-octylphenol, 0.42 \muM for 4-nonylphenol, …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Codeine is an opium alkaloid with a great potential of abuse among opioid consumers. Detection of codeine is a routine procedure in the military and government of some countries for personnel recruitment. Therefore, a specific, selective, and easy to use method would be an important improvement in such detection procedures. According to previous reports, short single-stranded DNA or RNA sequences with high affinity and specificity to their targets, aptamers, could be used for designing an accurate and specific biosensor for codeine.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Two novel C_2-symmetric chiral diamines containing \alpha -phenylethyl and \alpha -(1-naphthyl)ethyl chiral subunits were prepared with quantitative yields. Enantiomeric recognition properties of these simple structured diamine ligands towards D- and L-amino acid esters and D- and L-mandelic acid were examined by the ^1H NMR titration method. These ligands exhibited strong complexation (with K_f up to 2481 M^{-1}) and good enantioselectivity (up to K_L/K_D = 4.08) towards the mandelic acid enantiomers. The results show that simple structured and easily accessible acyclic C_2-symmetrical compounds can also be used for enantiomeric recognition of racemic amino acids and mandelic acid in addition to complex …

Exploring Distinct Binding Site Regions Of \Beta_2-Adrenergic Receptor Via Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Si̇bel Çakan, Ebru Demet Akdoğan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

\beta_2-Adrenergic receptor (\beta_2AR) is a G protein- coupled receptor that is highly flexible and able to recognize a wide range of ligands through its conformational variations. Active and inactive conformations revealed by recent crystallographic experiments do not provide a complete dynamic picture of the receptor, especially in the binding site. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation through a residue-based coarse-grained model is used as an alternative and efficient method to explore a wider conformational search space. The system was composed of \beta_2AR embedded into a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine membrane bilayer with surrounding water. A total of 6 \mu s of simulation …

Dft Study Of Tautomerism In Aklavinone, Burhan Lemi̇ Türker

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Aklavinone has an anthraquinone-based chromophore and its backbone highly resembles the kernel of some anthracycline antibiotics that possess anticancer activity, e.g., daunomycin. Since aklavinone's structure possesses many --OH groups and 2 keto groups, it is quite probable that certain tautomeric equilibria may occur. Presently, aklavinone prototropic tautomers possessing embedded anthraquinone moiety have been investigated quantum chemically by using density functional theory at the levels of RB3LYP/6-31G(d) and RB3LYP/6-31G(d,p). Additionally, IR spectra of the tautomers were calculated. Moreover, the phenolate ions obtained from the most stable tautomer in water were considered, and the protonation of this tautomer at various possible sites …

Synthesis Of Fused Tetrazolone Derivatives, Sevi̇l Özcan, Zeynep Ekmekçi̇, Berk Müjde, Meti̇n Balci

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

New fused tetrazolone derivatives were synthesized using homophthalic and maleic anhydrides. Treatment of anhydrides with trimethylsilyl azide opened the lactone rings and formed the corresponding intermediates, which bore 1,3-dipole and dipolarophile functionalities in ortho positions. The intermediates partially underwent internal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to produce fused tetrazolone derivatives. When the carbonyl groups in anhydride were not conjugated with any double bond, then a triazine-fused tetrazolone derivative was formed.
