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 …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Poly(methacrylic acid) and poly(acrylic acid) nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ polymerization of \gamma-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (A174)/clay nanocomposites in which the macromonomer was generated by grafting A-174 onto activated clay samples via hydroxyl groups or via intercalation. In- situ polymerization was carried out in the presence of an initiator. It was found that the structural affinity between the methacrylic or acrylic acid monomers and the amount of clay played an important role in the hybrid structure. The nanocomposites were quantified by both X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential thermal analysis (DTA).

The Membrane Potentials Of Periderm And Cuticular Membranes, Aygül Şahi̇n, Yunus Çengeloğlu, Mustafa Ersöz

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.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarizations were used to study the effect of pH on the anodic reaction characteristics of tungsten (W) in a very broad pH range (0.4-13). The open circuit potential was observed to decrease with a constant slope of 58 mV/pH, as pH increased. The oxide phase of W showed typical amphoteric surface behavior in the acidic regime. The oxide dissolution went through a minimum at pH 2.5, which was identified as the point of zero charge (pzc) of W--oxide. The oxide dissolution below the pzc was H^{+} -assisted and above the pzc was OH^{-}-assisted. At around the pzc …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

By using 1-benzylpiperazinedithiocarbamate (1-BPzDC) as a new reagent, a method of solid-phase extraction is described for the pre-concentration of cadmium in water samples prior to its determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). This method is based on the fact that cadmium forming in aqueous phase cadmium 1-benzylpiperazinedithiocarbamate complex (Cd(1-BPzDC)_{2}) can be extracted with microcrystalline naphthalene on solid phase, then back-extracted with potassium cyanide solution into aqueous phase and measured by FAAS. The optimum experimental parameters for the extraction and back-extraction of cadmium were investigated. The obtained recovery was nearly 97% when the enrichment factor was 500 for spiked cadmium …

A Semi-Empirical Study On Metal Ion/Murexide Complexation, N. Zeynep Atay, Tereza Varnali Jan 2002

A Semi-Empirical Study On Metal Ion/Murexide Complexation, N. Zeynep Atay, Tereza Varnali

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Modeling of the metal ion/ligand complexation reactions between divalent metal cations (M^{2 +} ) and hydrophilic tridentate ligand murexide (Mu^{-} ) in water, water+glycerol, and in glycerol was carried out. Kinetic studies showed that the rate of the reaction is very dependent on the metal ion, with Zn^{2 +} > Ni^{2 +} , but, reactions are slower in dispersed glycerol than in dispersed water. Theoretical calculations, which have shown a metal ion dependence, were consistent with the experimental observations. The entropy values calculated in all solvents were negative and were similar in value, indicating that these spontaneous reactions are enthalpy driven.

Production Of Mesophase Pitch From Coal Tar And Petroleum Pitches Using Supercritical Fluid Extraction, Mustafa Zafer Özel, Keith D. Bartle Jan 2002

Production Of Mesophase Pitch From Coal Tar And Petroleum Pitches Using Supercritical Fluid Extraction, Mustafa Zafer Özel, Keith D. Bartle

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is currently being investigated as a possible technique in the production of high quality mesophase pitch from coal tar and petroleum pitches. Mesophase pitch is used to make high technology products, such as carbon fibre. The conventional production of mesophase pitch initially involves the removal of low molecular weight species from coal tar and petroleum pitches. The remaining residue is then transformed into a mesophase pitch through a polymerisation process. The aim of this study involves the extraction of light molecular weight species using SFE. Both petroleum and coal tar pitch contain complex aromatic molecules with …

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).
