Kinetics And Mechanism Of Oxidation Of 1,3--Butylene Glycol By Dihydroxyditellutoargentate(Iii) In Alkaline Medium, Jin-Huan Shan, Shu-Ying Huo, Shi-Gang Shen, Han-Wen Sun

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The kinetics of oxidation of 1,3--butlene glycol (\beta - BG) by dihydroxyditelluto- argentate(III) were studied spectrophotometrically between 298.2 and 313.2 K in alkaline medium. The reaction rate showed pseudo-first order dependence in oxidant and fractional order in \ss-BG. The pseudo-first order rate constant k_{obs} increased with an increase in the concentration of OH^- and a decrease in the concentration of TeO_4^{2-} . There was a negative salt effect and no free radicals were detected. Thus, the dihydroxymonotelluratoargentate(III) species is assumed to be the active species. The activation parameters along with the rate constants of the rate-determining step were calculated.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

4-(Benzeneazo)salicylaldehyde was synthesized with aniline, sodium nitrite and salicylaldehyde. Two tetradentate ligands, N,N'-bis[4-(benzeneazo) salicylaldehyde]-o-phenylenediamine (H_2L) and N,N'-bis[4-(benzeneazo) salicylaldehyde]ethylenediamine (H_2L') were formed by the 2:1 molar condensation of 4-(benzeneazo) salicylaldehyde with o-phenylenediamine or ethylenediamine. Their Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Mn(II) and Cd(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurements, and infrared and electronic spectral data. Two ligands and their Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes were further identified using ^1H NMR spectra. The results suggest that the metal is bonded to the ligand through the phenolic oxygen and the imino nitrogen.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

1,4-Dihydroxy-7,8-dihydro-5H-benzo[a]cycloheptene-5,9(6H)- dione (7) was synthesised from hydroquinone and glutaric acid chloride via an acylation reaction. The reaction of dione (7) with bromine followed by treatment with NEt_3 gave homonaphthazarin 8 as well as the brominated derivatives 9 and 10. Reduction of 1,4-dimethoxy-7,8-dihydro-5H-benzo[a]cycloheptene-5,9(6H)-dione (16) with LiAlH_4 gave 2 isomeric alcohols, 17 and 18. Reaction of these alcohols with SOCl_2 followed by HCl elimination with NEt_3 afforded dimethoxybenzocycloheptatriene 19 as the sole product. For the synthesis of the isomeric cycloheptatriene 20, the double bond in 19 was isomerised with KOt-Bu.

Optimization Of The Nonaqueous Capillary Electrophoresis Separation Of Metal Ions Using Mixture Design And Response Surface Methods, Cevdet Demi̇r, Yasi̇n Yücel

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Mixture experimental design was used to enhance the separation selectivity of metal ions in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis. The separation of cations (Ag, Fe, Cr, Mn, Cd, Co, Pb, Ni, Zn and Cu) was achieved using imidazole as UV co-ion for indirect detection. Acetic acid was chosen as an electrolyte because its cathodic electroosmotic flow permits faster separation. The composition of organic solvents is important to achieve the best separation of all metal ions. Simplex lattice design and response surface methods have proved to be an effective tool to optimize the composition of organic solvents in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis. Full and …

Surface Properties And Catalytic Performance Of Pt/Prsrcoo_4 Catalysts For No Reduction By Co, Hua Zhong, Xirui Zeng Jan 2006

Surface Properties And Catalytic Performance Of Pt/Prsrcoo_4 Catalysts For No Reduction By Co, Hua Zhong, Xirui Zeng

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Perovskite-type Pr_{2-x}Sr_xCoO_{4\pm \lambda} mixed oxides were prepared by different calcination temperatures and were investigated by XRD, BET, TPD, TPR and XPS methods. These catalysts possess high catalytic activities towards the NO reduction by CO, and the activity of the PrSrCoO_4 catalyst prepared by calcining at 750 °C is the best among these samples. This is explained in terms of its greater oxygen vacancies and larger BET surface areas. The influence of modification by a suitable amount of Pt-doping on the surface properties and catalytic activity for NO reduction by CO was studied. The results show that the Pt-modified PrSrCoO_4 catalysts …

Online Viscosity Measurement Of Complex Solutions Using Ultrasound Doppler Velocimetry, Volkan Köseli̇, Şeri̇fe Zeybek, Yusuf Uludağ

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new method to measure the viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids over a wide range of shear rates in a short period of time is presented. The technique is based on the measurement of the velocity profile in a pipe flow using ultrasound Doppler velocimetry (UDV), which is a non-invasive method, and simultaneously determining the pressure drop. The velocity profile is used to obtain shear rate distribution, while the pressure drop is used to calculate the shear stress distribution. By taking the ratio of these quantities at a radial position, local viscosity can be obtained within the shear rate range in …
