The Effect Of Metal Loading On Structural Characteristics And Low Temperature Co Oxidation Activity Of Coprecipitated Co/Al_2o_3, Şeyma Özkara, Ayşe Ni̇lgün Akin, Zülal Misirli, Ahmet Erhan Aksoylu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The effect of metal loading on structural properties and CO oxidation activity of coprecipitated Co/Al_2O_3 catalysts was investigated. The results indicated the participation of cobalt in the Co-Al skeleton for all coprecipitated samples. Environmental-SEM-EDXS studies showed that at loadings higher than ca. 15 wt.-%, cobalt formed layer-by-layer clusters on the surface; 16.8 wt.-% Co/Al_2O_3 displayed the highest activity and stability in CO oxidation.

Fast Oxidation Of Lactams To Cyclic Imides Using Microwave Irradiation, Avat Arman Taherpour, Hamid Reza Mansuri

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Since polar reactants can adsorb microwave irradiation, chemists can utilize the microwave oven for some organic reactions. In this paper, we report a rapid conversion of lactams to cyclic imides using peracetic acid (CH_3-CO_3H) and manganic chloride (MnCl_2) in ethyl acetate (CH_3-COOEt) as a solvent and under microwave irradiation (90 W, 5 min) in good yields.

Voltammetric, Uv Absorption And Viscometric Studies Of The Interaction Of Norepinephrine With Dna, Mehmet Aslanoğlu, Necla Öge Jan 2005

Voltammetric, Uv Absorption And Viscometric Studies Of The Interaction Of Norepinephrine With Dna, Mehmet Aslanoğlu, Necla Öge

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Voltammetric, UV-vis spectroscopic and viscometric methods were used to investigate the interaction between norepinephrine and DNA. The results of square wave voltammetric and UV-absorption measurements have shown that norepinephrine was bound to DNA. Besides the electrostatic interaction between DNA and norepinephrine, hydrogen bonds and intercalation may also exist. Viscosity measurements also suggest that NE is bound to DNA via an electrostatic mode of interaction at lower norepinephrine concentrations. However, at higher concentrations of norpinephrine, the increase in the relative viscosity of DNA indicated that the intercalation is also involved in the binding. The binding constant and the binding site size …

New Complexes Of Organotin(Iv) 2-(N-Maleoylamino)-2-Methylpropanoate: Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization And Biological Activity, Sajjad Ahmad, Saqib Ali, Saira Shahzadi, Fiaz Ahmed, Khalid Mohammed Khan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Organotin(IV) complexes of 2-(N-maleoylamino)-2-methylpropanoate were prepared by treating the ligand acid with diorganotin dichloride and triorganotin chloride in 1:2 and 1:1 molar ratios, respectively. These reactions proceeded smoothly to completion and the complexes formed were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, multinuclear NMR (^1H, ^{13}C, ^{119}Sn) and mass spectrometry. The biological activities of the tin complexes were studied by screening the compounds against various animal and plant pathogens. These results show that triorganotin(IV) carboxylates are more active against the animal and plant pathogens tested as compared to diorganotin dicarboxylates.

Cobalt Impregnated Alumina: Nitrogen Adsorption Study At 77 K, Riaz Qadeer, Sumeera Ikram

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Alumina powder is impregnated with cobalt in the concentration range 5% to 20% (w/v) and is characterized by nitrogen adsorption at 77 K by continuous flow method using the Quantasorb sorption system. It was observed that cobalt metal on impregnation does not contribute any extra surface to alumina. Values of BET surface area determined from nitrogen adsorption data follow the sequence Co (20% w/v) - Al_2O_3 < Co (10% w/v) - Al_2O_3 < Co (5% w/v) - Al_2O_3 < Pure Al_2O_3. Pore size distribution curves demonstrate the mesoporous nature of cobalt impregnated alumina.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of nanosized polyimides was successfully prepared by condensation polymerization of an octaamino-functionalized silsesquioxane and a series of commercially available dianhyride monomers. The polymerization of the octaamino silsesquioxane was carried out in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) at room temperature, giving poly(amic acid) as precursor polymers that were readily converted to the corresponding polyimides by thermal treatment in the subsequent step, which is similar to the conventional 2-stage method. The appropriate molar ratio of the silsesquioxane monomer to a dianhyride was 1:1. These polyimides are readily soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and N,N-dimethylacetamide at room temperature, and show high …

A novel anhydrous proton conducting polymer electrolyte based on polystyrene sulfonic acid, PSSA and benzimidazole (BnIm) was synthesized. The PSSA-BnIm interactions were studied by FT-IR. The thermal properties of the blends were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The proton conductivities of these materials were measured by AC impedance technique. The conductivities of these materials increase with increasing BnIm content and temperature and maximum conductivity was found to be approximately 5 \times 10^{-4} S/cm at 150 °C.
