Reduction Behavior Of Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl And Its Voltammetric Determination, Zeki̇ Eş, İbrahi̇m Hüdai̇ Taşdemi̇r

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The reduction behavior of fenoxaprop-p-ethyl (FNX) was studied on a hanging mercury drop electrode. FNX showed 2 reduction peaks at about --0.7 V and at about --0.9 V versus Ag/AgCl/3.0 M KCl in Britton--Robinson buffer at pH 4.8. Both reductions were irreversible and adsorption was effective. The reduction peaks were assigned to the reduction of C=N to CH--NH and the reduction of C=O to CH--OH. Square-wave voltammetry has been proposed and validated for quantification of FNX in different samples. The linear working range was established as 0.30--15.0 \mu M. Limit of detection and limit of quantification were calculated as 0.07 …

Synthesis And Molecular Modeling Studies Of Naproxen-Based Acyl Hydrazone Derivatives, Tuğba Taşkin Tok, Özgün Özaşik, Deni̇z Sarigöl, Ayşe Uzgören Baran

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of N-acylhydrazone derivatives (2a--2p) containing 6-methoxy-naphthalene and acylhydrazone moieties were synthesized in good yield using microwave irradiation and developed as potential COX-2 inhibitors. Furthermore, the interactions between COX-2 and the compounds were examined in detail by molecular modeling studies such as structure--activity relationship and molecular docking performed using Gaussian 09 and Discovery Studio 3.5. As a result, it was found that N-acylhydrazone compounds displayed a different mechanism than SC-558 as COX-2 inhibitor by binding to different active sites of the protein, COX-2. Compound 2c would be a good COX-2 inhibitor candidate for preclinical studies.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

This study aimed to develop a photocatalyst that responds to visible light. For the preparation of visible light sensitive photocatalysts, N was doped into TiO_2 (N-TiO_2). To inhibit the recombination of excited electrons and holes, transition metals (M = Pt, Cu, Fe, Cr) were loaded on the N-TiO_2. N-TiO_2 nanotubes were also synthesized by a hydrothermal treatment of the prepared N-TiO_2 in a strong basic environment. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, XPS, and UV/VIS spectrophotometer, and their photocatalytic activity was tested by the photodecomposition of liquid-phase methylene blue and gas-phase acetone.

Fluorescent Mono- And Tetra-Dansylated Cavitands: Synthesis And Acid Sensitivity, Ümi̇t İşci̇, Yunus Zorlu, Fabienne Dumoulin

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Two fluorescent tetra- and mono-dansylated resorcinarene cavitands were prepared and fully characterized. The X-ray structure of mono-dansylated resorcinarene cavitand was obtained. Their intrinsic absorption and fluorescence properties were studied. These properties were strongly sensitive to the presence of perchloric acid, as evidenced by the appearance of isobestic points upon protonation of the dansyl dimethylamino functions. The decreasing of the fluorescence emission intensity upon titration with perchloric acid was explained by the excited state interactions between the dansyl groups of the resorcinarene. Fluorescence quantum yields (\Phi _F) of mono- and tetra-dansylated cavitands and the reference compound were determined using dansyl chloride …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study peripherally tetra-substituted metal-free, metallophthalocyanines bearing (3,4-dimethoxybenzyl) oxy groups have been synthesized and characterized. Electrochemical properties of novel phthalocyanines 4, 5, 6, and 7 were determined by cyclic and square wave voltammetry in order to define their possible applications in different electrochemical technologies. Co^{II} and Ti^{IV}O metal ions behave as redox active cations in the core of the CoPc and TiOPc complexes, respectively. Voltammetric studies revealed that phthalocyanines have reversible/irreversible redox processes, which are the main requirement for the technological usage of these compounds.

Gaseous And Dissolved Oxygen Sensing With Stabilized Pyrene In Ionic Liquid Modified Electrospun Slides, Özlem Öter, Gülhan Sabanci Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Pyrene dye has many superior characteristics for oxygen sensing studies such as long fluorescence lifetime, high quantum yield, and good sensitivity. It is preferred in some cases over ruthenium dyes for its more lipophilic character and higher sensitivity. However, easy photodegradation of pyrene is a challenging problem. In this study, pyrene dye was for the first time immobilized in an ethyl cellulose matrix and used for oxygen sensing in the form of thin films and electrospun sensing slides. The hydrophobic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate was used as additive for the first time for dissolved oxygen sensing studies. The oxygen sensitivity …

A series of 3-(9-hydroxy-3-methoxy-7-aryl-6,7,9,10-tetrahydro-5$H$-benzo[$h$]thiazolo[2,3-$b$]quinazolin-9-yl)-2$H$-chromen-2-ones (5a-j) were synthesized by one-pot multicomponent reaction of 6-methoxy-1-tetralone, aryl aldehydes, and thiourea followed by cyclization with 3-(2-bromoacetyl)-2$H$-chromen-2-one in the presence of a Bronsted solid acid catalyst, poly(4-vinylpyridinium)hydrogen sulfate [P(4-VPH)HSO$_{4}$] (0.015 g), under solvent-free conditions at 120 $^{\circ}$C. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral studies and screened for their in vitro antibacterial activity against S. aureus and B. thuringiensis (gram positive), and E. coli and K. pneumoniae (gram negative) bacterial strains. On comparing with the standard drug gentamicin, compounds derived from 4-methoxy and 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzaldehyde, i.e. 5g and 5h, showed broad spectrum antibacterial activity …
