Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new glass coating system, containing \gamma- glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane/Cr^{3+} (system I:GLYMO/ Cr^{3+}) and \gamma-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane/N-aminoethyl-3- aminopropyltrimethoxysilane/Cr^{3+} (system II:GLYMO/DAMO/Cr^{3+}), was synthesized by the sol-gel technique for UV light absorption applications.

Anodic Stripping Voltammetric Behavior Of Mercury In Chloride Medium And Its Determination At A Gold Film Electrode, Füsun Okçu, F. Ni̇l Ertaş, H. İsmet Gökçel, Hüseyi̇n Tural

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The electrochemical behavior of aqueous Hg(II) ions at a gold film electrode is described. The effects of supporting electrolyte and halide ions on the anodic stripping voltammetric behavior of Hg(II) ions was illustrated to prepare a basis for the analysis in real samples with high saline content. The concentration ratio of metallic mercury to halide ions at the electrode surface determines the resulting peak characteristics. The peak potentials in particular shift in a more negative direction as the halide concentration increases. A comparative study with Cu(II) ions revealed that a different mechanism is involved in their reoxidation steps. Mercuric ions …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

An isonicotinic acid N-oxide Zn(II) compound was characterized on the basis of elemental analysis. FTIR spectra of the compound and free isonicotinic acid N-oxide (INO) were recorded in the range 4000--400 cm^{-1}. Cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra from the Zn(INO)_2 complex were recorded. The luminescence data were interpreted in terms of the emission band at 470 nm. The green luminescence (\sim 470 nm) arises from Zn^{2+} transition ^4T_1 (^4G) \to ^6A_1 (^6S). It shows a weak vibronic structure, and short lifetimes less than 150 \mu s. The lifetime and intensity of the signal are temperature dependent, and the parameters are reported for …


Interpretation Of Sorption Kinetics For Mixtures Of Reactive Dyes On Wool, Eli̇f Şahi̇n Jan 2005

Interpretation Of Sorption Kinetics For Mixtures Of Reactive Dyes On Wool, Eli̇f Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The equilibrium sorption isotherms of 3 reactive dyes (C. I. Reactive Yellow 84, C. I. Reactive Red 141, C. I. Reactive Blue 160) and their binary mixtures adsorbed on prewetted wool fiber were investigated. The kinetic studies were carried out at pH \le 7 and 80 °C in dye solutions containing 20 g/L NaCl. It was reported that binary mixtures of these reactive dyes have lower sorption values than the dyes alone, at the same dye concentration, pH and temperature. The isotherms obtained are Langmuir type. The rate parameters of adsorption kinetics decrease with increasing dye concentration.

The cytotoxic furan derivative (\pm)-4-ipomeanol (1) and its regioisomer (8) were prepared in a new and efficient way starting from commercially available furan derivatives. In both cases the key step was a regioselective solvolysis of the terminal double bond with trifluoroacetic anhydride and boron trifluoride. The resulting compounds were tested in an agar diffusion assay against several bacteria and fungi, but did not show significant activity.
