Geochemistry Of Sands Along The San Nicolás And San Carlos Beaches, Gulf Of California, Mexico: Implications For Provenance And Tectonic Setting, John Selvamony Armstrong Altrin, Ramasamy Nagarajan, Yong Il Lee, Juan José Kasper Zubillaga, Leslie Patricia Córdoba Saldaña

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The weathering conditions, provenance, and tectonic setting of sands from the San Nicolás (SN) and San Carlos (SC) beaches along the Gulf of California, Mexico, have been studied using mineralogy, major element, and trace element data. The compositional similarity among 4 independent groups (each beach area consists of 2 grain-size groups, i.e. medium- and fine-grained sands) was tested statistically by the application of analysis of variance at the 99% confidence level to avoid misinterpretation. The X-ray diffraction and SEM-EDS data revealed that the fine-grained SN sands were abundant in rutile and zircon minerals. The higher SiO_2/Al_2O_3 ratio of the SN …


Ultrarapid Catalytic Reduction Of Some Dyes By Reusable Novel Erythromycin-Derived Silver Nanoparticles, Yasmeen Junejo, Abdulhadi̇ Baykal Jan 2014

Ultrarapid Catalytic Reduction Of Some Dyes By Reusable Novel Erythromycin-Derived Silver Nanoparticles, Yasmeen Junejo, Abdulhadi̇ Baykal

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A novel green approach for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using erythromycin as a reducing/capping agent is presented. Erythromycin-derived silver nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Monodispersed silver nanoparticles showed excellent and promising catalytic activity for reduction of 3 differently charged dyes (eosin B, methylene blue, and rose bengal) in the presence of NaBH_4. The study revealed that 100% reduction of these dyes can be achieved efficiently in just 150--250 s. They were easily recovered from the reaction medium and were reused 5 times, …

Synthesis, Structure, And Luminescent Properties Of 2 Novel 5-Chlorhydroxybenzoate-Imidazole Metal-Organic Complexes, Hong Chen, Si Yuan Luo, Xiuling Wu, Yongqian Wang, Bo Hu, Chao Hu, Gang Huang, Qiao Xin Du

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Two novel Zn and Cu complexes with 5-chlorhydroxybenzoate and imidazole ligands, C_{41}H_{36}Zn_2N_8O_{13}Cl_4 (1) and C_{26}H_{22}Cl_2Cu_2N_8O_6 (2), were prepared by slow evaporation method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine their structures. The purity of the complexes was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. In 1 the Zn^{2+} cation is tetracoordinated with 2 nitrogen atoms from 2 imidazoles and 2 oxygen atoms from the 2 carboxyl groups in 5-chlorhydroxybenzoate. In 2 the coordination polyhedrons of Cu^{2+} center can be described as distorted square pyramidal geometry sharing common edges, with an oxygen atom on the top of the pyramid. The …
