Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new, reliable, surfactant-sensitized method is described for the spectrophotometric determination of total and dissolved inorganic mercury at trace levels. The method is based on the ternary complex formation of Hg(II) with 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-p-cresol and a cationic surfactant, cetylpyridinium chloride, at pH 9.5. The detection and quantification limits of the method with surfactant were 6 and 19 \mu g L^{-1}, while those of the method without surfactant were 22 and 67 \mu g L^{-1}, respectively. The method obeys Beer's law at up to approximately 10 mg L^{-1} Hg(II) in an aqueous surfactant medium. The relative errors and relative standard deviations of …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The cationic polymerization of cis, trans-2,5-dihydro-2,5-dimethoxy furan (DHMF) was studied in the presence of HClO_4, in acetonitrile. Different reaction parameters were investigated such as initiator concentration and temperature with duration. Obtained polymers were soluble in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethylformamide (DMF) and the M_n value was calculated as 2700 g/mol by cryoscopy. The FT-IR and ^1H-NMR results indicate that the polymerization proceeds via ring opening. Thermal properties were studied by DSC and TGA.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The 1:1 iminium intermediate generated by the addition of a secondary amine to aromatic bis-aldehydes (isophthalaldehyde and terphthalaldehyde) is trapped by the N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane in the presence of a aromatic carboxylic acid derivative, which leads to the formation of corresponding iminophosphorane intermediate. Then disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives are formed via intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction of the iminophosphorane intermediates. The reactions were completed in neutral conditions at room temperature and the corresponding disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were produced in excellent yields.

Simultaneous Determination Of Cr(Iii) And Cr(Vi) Using Differential Pulse Polarography And Application To Gerede River, Olcay Şendi̇l, Nabeel Mohammed, Güler Somer Jan 2012

Simultaneous Determination Of Cr(Iii) And Cr(Vi) Using Differential Pulse Polarography And Application To Gerede River, Olcay Şendi̇l, Nabeel Mohammed, Güler Somer

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Determination of Cr(III) in the presence of Cr(VI) from one polarogram is not easy. No such procedure was found in the literature. In polarographic studies Cr(III) had a peak only in acidic medium, while Cr(VI) had either 1 or 2 peaks in both acidic and basic solutions. In solutions that contain these 2 ions, the peak obtained in acidic medium for Cr(III) will be the sum of both ions. Thus, Cr(III) cannot be determined directly from one polarogram. In this work, a new and simple polarographic method is established for the determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) by using only one …

Evaluation Of Thermodynamic Parameters Of Cadmium Adsorption On Sand From Temkin Adsorption Isotherm, Abdul Sattar Ali Khan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Thermodynamic parameters provide clues for finding the spontaneity of a given process at a given temperature. In the present work, the Temkin adsorption model was applied for evaluation of the thermodynamic parameters of cadmium adsorption studied on sand. The lateral interaction energy parameter was found to be unity, which showed that the heat of adsorption is directly proportional to the fraction of free adsorption sites. The values of \Delta H° and \Delta S° were --4.8 kJ mol^{-1} and 42 J mol^{-1} K^{-1}, respectively. The value of \Delta G° was negative, indicating the spontaneity of cadmium adsorption on sand.

A compound (1), [H_2-(4,4'-bipy)]^{2+}[(Cr_2O_7)]^{2-} and a metal organic-inorganic coordination framework (2), [Mn(4,4'-bipy)(Cr_2O_77)(H_2O)_2] (4,4'-bipy=4,4' -bipyridine) were successfully synthesized by microwave method. Their characterization was performed by single crystal X-ray crystallography and FT-IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 1 revealed a diprotonated 4,4'-bipyridium dichromate compound while compound 2 is an onedimensional (1D) polymer in which (Cr_2O_7)^{2-} acts as a bridging ligand supporting the formation of infinite {[Mn(4,4'-bipy)(Cr_2O_7)(H_2O)_2]}_n polymeric chains. The geometry of the 4,4'-bipy ring in 1 is typical coplanar, but twists in 2. In the free molecule 1, dichromate ligand adopts an eclipsed conformation, but adopts a staggered conformation in complex. …

A series of 3-[(4-substitutedpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-1H-indole derivatives were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by spectral analysis. All the compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activity in vitro against 3 human tumor cell lines: human liver (HUH7), breast (MCF7), and colon (HCT116). Among the designed derivatives, most of the compounds showed significant cytotoxicity against liver and colon cancer cell lines with lower IC_{50} concentrations than the standard drug 5-fluorouracil. Compound 3s, with 3,4-dichlorophenyl substituent on the piperazine ring, was the most active in suppressing the growth of all screened cancer cells.
