Preparation, Spectroscopy, Antimicrobial Assay, And X-Ray Structure Of Dimethyl Bis-(4-Methylpiperidine Dithiocarbamato-S,S`)-Tin(Iv), Zia-Ur Rehman, Saira Shahzadi, Saqib Ali, Guo-Xin Jin

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Dimethyl bis(4-methylpiperidine dithiocarbamato-S,S')-tin(IV) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and mass spectrometry, multinuclear NMR (^1H- and ^{13}C-NMR), and X-ray single crystal analysis. IR data showed that the ligand acts as a bidentate in the solid state. X-ray data showed the unsymmetrical nature of the ligand towards coordination to tin. It crystallized in the monoclinic P2_1/n space group. Its geometry is distorted octahedral. Antimicrobial activity data shows that the complex exhibits significantly more activity than the free ligand.

The Spectral And Photophysical Characterization Of Water Solubilizing Metal Phthalocyanines For Highly Sensitive Detection In Biological Studies, Vera Tamisha Verdree Jan 2007

The Spectral And Photophysical Characterization Of Water Solubilizing Metal Phthalocyanines For Highly Sensitive Detection In Biological Studies, Vera Tamisha Verdree

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Efforts to improve the technology for DNA analyses stimulated the work presented here to develop a series of fluorescent probes that would aid in the increased multiplexing capabilities allowing the ability to detect multiple targets in a single measurement. Typically, spectral discrimination has been used to identify each DNA fragment in sequencing or diagnostic applications by means of unique emission properties from several labeling dyes. This has been accomplished with labels that fluoresce in the visible region. The limitations with these dyes is the broad emission profile making discrimination difficult, high intrinsic biological fluorescence and structural differences of the dyes …

Gold(Iii) Complex Of Caffeine: Synthesis, Isolation And Spectroscopic Characterization, Bojidarka Ivanova

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Au(III)-caffeine complex was synthesized and characterized by means of solid-state linear-dichroic infrared spectral analysis (IRLD), ^1H-NMR, MS, DSC and TGA methods. The caffeine (I) is monodentate and coordinated with metal ion through its N9 atom at molar ratio metal to ligand 1:1. The other 3 positions in the Au(III) coordination sphere are occupied by Cl^-, thus forming [Au^{3+}(C_8H_{10}N_4O_2)Cl_3] complex. IR-characteristic band assignment in the 4000-400 cm^{-1} IR region of pure ligand and corresponding Au(III)complex was performed.

Template-Free Synthesis Of Zsm-5 Type Zeolite Layers On Porous Alumina Disks, Hali̇l Kalipçilar, Ali̇ Çulfaz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

ZSM-5 crystals were synthesized from template-free batches on macroporous \alpha-alumina disks. The SiO_2/Al_2O_3 ratio of the synthesis gel influenced the crystal morphology, surface coverage and intergrowth among the crystals. Prismatic ZSM-5 crystals covered the disk surface when the SiO_2/Al_2O_3 ratio of the batch was higher than 100, whereas spherical polycrystalline particles of ZSM-5 were obtained from batches with a SiO_2/Al_2O_3 ratio of 80. Mordenite type zeolite was formed on the disk surface due to the incorporation of alumina dissolved from the disk when the time of crystallization was extended.

Fragmentation Of Xe^{129} In The Liquid-Gas Phase Transition Region, Mehmet Erdoğan, Ni̇hal Büyükçi̇zmeci̇, Riza Oğul Jan 2007

Fragmentation Of Xe^{129} In The Liquid-Gas Phase Transition Region, Mehmet Erdoğan, Ni̇hal Büyükçi̇zmeci̇, Riza Oğul

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

We analyzed the fragmentation of the Xe^{129} nucleus to determine the effects of surface and symmetry energies on the fragment distribution on the basis of the statistical multifragmentation model. Relative yields of fragments were classified with respect to the mass number of the fragments in the transition region. It was found that the symmetry energy of the hot fragments produced in the statistical freeze-out is very important for isotope distributions. However, its influence on the mean fragment mass distributions is negligible. On the other hand, it was demonstrated that surface energy significantly influences the fragment distribution while the symmetry energy …

A Mechanistic Approach To Elucidate Ethanol Electro-Oxidation, Ni̇yazi̇ Alper Tapan Jan 2007

A Mechanistic Approach To Elucidate Ethanol Electro-Oxidation, Ni̇yazi̇ Alper Tapan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In order to elucidate the mechanism of ethanol oxidation, a simple cylindrical diffusion-surface reaction was developed on a platinum disk electrode. An ethanol electro-oxidation mechanism was proposed, in which electrochemical reactions proceed without adsorption of any electro-oxidation products (C2 type) on the surface. After the simulation of the proposed mechanism, it was seen that the model can explain ethanol electro-oxidation behavior without any surface CO formation. The simulation of the mechanism indicated that the formation of acetaldehyde through the oxidation of bulk ethanol is the rate determining step between 0.6 and 0.75 V vs. RHE. After 0.75 V vs. RHE, …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The effects of reaction temperature, feed ratio, space time, and CO percentage in feed on the deactivation conditions of a co-precipitated 36 wt% Co/Al_2O_3 catalyst in CO hydrogenation were investigated. Environmental-SEM-EDX and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) studies were performed on used catalysts to investigate the effect of reaction conditions on catalyst deactivation. Intensive coke deposition on the catalyst was observed at a reaction temperature of about 573 K. Increasing the H_2/CO ratio also increased the catalyst activity. Methane formed as the main product at high H_2/CO ratios. Although catalyst activity did not change significantly during the 9-h reaction period at all …

Badaruddin Ahmad, Ameer Fawad Zahoor, Muhammad Kaleem Khosa, Syed Sarwar Alam

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Different mixed ligand lanthanocene complexes along with Al(i-Bu)_3 are capable of synthesizing partially syndiotactic high molecular weight polymethylmethacrylate. The Schiff base derivative of mixed ligand lanthanocene complexes (1-4) showed better efficiency (Mv = 227 \times 10^3-354 \times 10^3) compared to the methoxyethylindenyl derivative of mixed ligand lanthanocene complexes (5-9) (Mv = 72 \times 10^3, 172 \times 10^3). The effects of the catalyst, temperature, catalyst/MMA molar ratio, and catalyst/Al(i-Bu)_3 molar ratio on the polymerization of MMA at 60 °C suggested that ligand size and radius of rare earth metals play an important role in determining the activity of the catalyst.
