Vapour Liquid Equilibrium In Asymmetric Mixtures Of N-Alkanes With Ethane, Anca Duta, Dan Geana Jan 2002

Vapour Liquid Equilibrium In Asymmetric Mixtures Of N-Alkanes With Ethane, Anca Duta, Dan Geana

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The paper presents a vapour liquid equilibria study in binary mixtures of n-alkanes with high dimensional asymmetry. Each mixture contains ethane and alkanes higher than eicosane. Calculations were done using two equations of state, Peng-Robinson (PR) and Soave (SRK), in combination with van der Waals mixing rules, corrected with two interaction parameters. A limited temperature dependence of the interaction parameters was found. The correlations between the interaction parameters and the number of carbon atoms of the higher n-alkane led to equations valid for systems ethane + C_{3} up to C_{44}. The results of the prediction calculations were good, both with …


A Conformational Exploration Of Dissymmetric Macrolides Antibiotics, Salah Belaidi, A. Dibi, M. Omari Jan 2002

A Conformational Exploration Of Dissymmetric Macrolides Antibiotics, Salah Belaidi, A. Dibi, M. Omari

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Conformational analysis of the macrolides from 12 to 22 links was carried out using molecular mechanics. Calculations indicate that each studied macrocycle presents eight families of preferential conformers. They result from the combination of the conformations of the two systems diene and \alpha ,\beta -unsaturated ester. Among these conformers three families (F5, F6 and F3) have the lowest energy. The two families F5 and F6 adopt an s-cis conformation of the ester function and s-trans of the diene system with a pseudo-parallel arrangement of the two systems for the first family and a pseudo-antiparallel for the second. The third family …

Application Of Proton Conducting Polymer Electrolytes To Electrochromic Devices, Ayhan Bozkurt

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Electrochromic display devices have been fabricated using Polydiallyldimethylammonium dihydrogenphosphate (PAMA^+ H_2PO_4^-) blended with H_3PO_4 as the electrolyte and WO_3 as the electrochromic film. The WO_3 deposited glass electrodes were doped with protons to form H_xWO_3 in which color depends on the charge density (CD) ranging from 0.01 to 0.04 C/cm^2. Proton conducting films of PAMA^+ H_2PO_4^- 2 H_3PO_4 (2 moles of acid per polymer repeat unit) were sandwiched between two electrodes to obtain the following symmetric configuration: Glass/ITO/WO_3/H^+ -electrolyte film/H_xWO_3 /ITO/Glass. Prior to construction of the electrochromic windows, the electrochemical stability of polymer/acid blends was determined via cyclic voltammetry (CV).

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The membrane potentials of periderm and cuticular membranes were measured with KCI and NaCl solution using Ag/AgCI electrodes. For the electromotive force (emf) measurements, the concentration in both compartments were brought to equilibrium with the 0.01 M concentration of KCI or NaCl solution, then the one side was kept constant and the other side changed. The estimation of the Donnan potential contribution to the membrane potential was carried out by taking into account the fixed charge concentration, C_x, value. From these measurements electrochemical characterization of the asymmetry and surface layers of the periderm and cuticular membranes can be described.
