Synthesis, Characterization, And Application Of Nanoporous Materials Based On Silicon- Or Halogen-Containing Spiroketal And Spirothioketal Polymers, Hamada H. Abdel-Razik
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Organic microporous materials based on silicon-containing spiroketal and spirothioketal polymers were synthesized via a 1,3-dioxol-forming polymerization reaction between 1,1a,4,4a,5,5a,8, 8a-octahydro-2,3,6,7-tetra(trimethylsilyl)-9,10-anthraquinone and different types of polyol or polythiol. These silicon-containing polymers were subjected to bromination to yield bromine-containing polymers. The structures of the prepared polymers were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and molecular mass measurements. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms of the prepared polymers showed that a large amount of nitrogen was adsorbed at low relative pressure, indicating microporosity. These polymers have BET surface areas in the range of 505-830 m^2 g^{-1}. These polymers were determined to be useful for pervaporation separation of phenol/water …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
This study examined the influence of temperature, concentration, shearing time, and storage time on the rheological properties, i.e. the dynamic viscosity and shear stress, as a function of shear rate of chitosan solubilized in weakly acid solutions. The results showed that shear thinning behavior (pseudoplastic non-Newtonian behavior) was pronounced at temperatures from 20 to 50 °C, but was more remarkable at lower temperature. In addition, the activation energy value derived from ln \eta vs. 1/T data was found to be 20.86 kJ mol^{-1}. When the effect of concentration was studied, the shear thinning behavior was pronounced at all concentrations. The …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A new class of optically active polyamides (PAs) (6a-e) having 4-nitro-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl pendent groups were prepared by direct polycondensation reaction of 2-(4-nitro-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl) succinic acid (4) with various aromatic diamines in a medium consisting of triphenyl phosphite, calcium chloride, pyridine, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The resulting new polymers were obtained in high yields with inherent viscosities ranging between 0.32 and 0.48 dL/g, and were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, specific rotation, solubility tests, and thermogravimetric analysis techniques (TGA and DTG). Bulky pendent groups of the polymer chains disturb interchain and intrachain interactions and make these PAs readily soluble in polar organic solvents such …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Some bioactive organotin(IV) derivatives of 3,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid (HL) were synthesized by reacting the ligand acid with various di- or tri-organotin compounds (in suitable mole ratios) in the presence of triethylamine. The structural investigation was carried out via multinuclear (^1H, ^{13}C, and ^{119}Sn) NMR, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of 4 comprises a central Sn_2O_2 core with O atoms bonded to 2 dibutylbis(3,4-dichlorophenylacetato)tin(IV) units. All the Sn atoms of 4 are essentially 5-coordinated in distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Some of the compounds exhibited significant antibacterial and antifungal activity.

Interference Elimination Studies During The Determination Of Trace Elements In Cow Liver Using Differential Pulse Polarography, Ümmi̇han T. Yilmaz, Güler Somer
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The liver is known to accumulate many trace elements; thus it is very important to determine their level in a sensitive way. The objective of this study was to develop a simple method for the simultaneous determination of trace elements in cow liver in which the elimination of interference can be accomplished. It was observed that Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cu ions could not be determined correctly in the presence of Se(IV), because of interference of Se. It was shown that this interference could be eliminated by using pH 8.5 NaAc electrolyte. In this medium first Cd and Zn were …

Template Synthesis And Characterization Of 16-Membered Octaazamacrocyclic Complexes: A Photoelectron Spectroscopic Study, Abul Kalam, Vishnu Tripathi, Shekhar Srivastava, Yogesh Pandey, Anil Kumar, Alok Gupta, Sharat Srivastava, Ankoor Purohit
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A novel series of complexes of the type [MLX_2] where M= Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II); X= C^- or NO_3^- were synthesized by template condensation of hydrazine hydrate, acetaldehyde, 2,4-pentanedione, and thiocarbohydrazide in the presence of divalent metal salt in methanolic solution. The complexes were characterized with the help of elemental analysis, conductance measurements, magnetic measurements, electronic, NMR, XPS, and infrared and far infrared spectral studies. Electronic spectra along with magnetic moments suggest 6-coordinated octahedral geometry for these complexes. The low value of molar conductance indicates them to be non-electrolytes.

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Miocene Kestanbol granitoid, in Ezine-Çanakkale, Turkey, is one of post-collision granitoids of western Anatolia, which have been related to the the late Cretaceous collision between the Anatolide-Tauride platform and the Pontides. Magmatism began during the early Miocene, with coeval alkaline to calc-alkaline plutonism and volcanism, controlled by the regional tectonic evolution. The Kestanbol pluton intruded regionally metamorphosed basement rocks. Volcanic and volcano-clastic sedimentary rocks overlie the pluton, which is bounded in the west and east by major faults. The pluton is frequently cut by felsic and mafic dykes and includes mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs) that are mixing products of …

Dictyoptychus Douvillé: Taxonomic Revision, Phylogeny And Biogeography, Saci̇t Özer
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The late Campanian-Maastrichtian transgressive sequences of the southeastern Anatolia (northernmost part of the Arabian platform) and only one Maastrichtian limestone block within the ophiolitic association of the easternmost part of the Taurus Orogenic Belt contain very well-preserved specimens of Dictyoptychus Douvillé 1905. Study of Turkish specimens and also of those described in the literature reveals considerable ontogenic variability, hence need for revision of the species of the genus erected hitherto. Dictyoptychus leesi (Kühn 1929), Dictyoptychus paronai (Kühn 1929), Dictyoptychus persicus (Cox 1934), Dictyoptychus euphratica Karacabey-Öztemür 1979 and Dictyoptychus orontica Karacabey-Öztemür 1979 are accordingly re-interpreted to represent a single species synonymous …

Basement Types, Lower Eocene Series, Upper Eocene Olistostromes And The Initiation Of The Southern Thrace Basin, Nw Turkey, Aral İ. Okay, Ercan Özcan, William Cavazza, Ni̇lgün Okay, György Less
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Eocene sequence of the southern Thrace Basin unconformably overlies two types of basement: (1) Slate, limestone and phyllite crop out in small inliers under the Upper Eocene conglomerates and limestones in the Mecidiye region, north of Saros Bay. These low-grade metamorphic rocks form the eastern extension of the Circum-Rhodope Belt of Greece. (2) In the Şarköy region south of the Ganos Fault, tectonically elevated basement consisting of serpentinite, metadiabase and Upper Cretaceous blueschists is unconformably overlain by the upper Bartonian to lower Priabonian shallow marine limestones of the Soğucak Formation. In some places erosional remnants of an upper Ypresian …

Testing Miocene Remagnetization Of Bey Dağları: Timing And Amount Of Neogene Rotations In Sw Turkey, Douwe J.J. Van Hinsbergen, Mark J. Dekkers, Ayten Koç
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Here we reassess the timing and amount of rotation of the eastern limb of the Aegean orocline, located in SW Turkey. The current model for this orocline involves a 25-30° counterclockwise (CCW) rotation of the Bey Dağları region, which exposes upper Cretaceous to Eocene platform carbonates and lower Miocene flysch deposits. In this model the rotation has to postdate a Miocene remagnetization, which would not exclude non-synchroneity between rotations of the western and eastern limbs of the Aegean orocline. To test this model a detailed palaeomagnetic study was conducted on lower Miocene strata in the Bey Dağları area. Two (composite) …

Displacements And Kinematics Of The February 1, 1944 Gerede Earthquake (North Anatolian Fault System, Turkey): Geodetic And Geological Constraints, Mehmet Emi̇n Ayhan, Ali̇ Koçyi̇ği̇t
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The North Anatolian Fault System (NAFS) is an approximately 2-110-km-wide, 1600-km-long right-lateral intra-continental transform fault boundary between the Anatolian platelet and the Eurasian plate. The Gerede fault zone is one of the major active structures in the western section of the NAFS. It is a 1-9-km-wide, 325-km-long and ENE-trending dextral strike-slip fault zone, with a total accumulated offset since its initiation (Late Pliocene) of about 43 km. This offset indicates an average geological slip rate of 16.5 mm/yr. The 1 February 1944 Gerede earthquake occurred within the Gerede fault zone. Based on recent field geological mapping of the rupture traces …

Foraminiferal Biostratigraphy And Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction Of The Paleocene–Eocene Transition At The Kharrouba Section, Tunisia (Southern Tethys Margin), Lamia Zili, Dalila Zaghbib-Turki
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
At Kharrouba (near Tunis City in northern Tunisia), on the southern margin of the Tethyan realm, the Paleocene-Eocene (P-E) transition interval deposition is continuous and complete. Based on high-resolution analysis and quantitative data of planktonic and benthic foraminifera at the Kharrouba section, this transition interval records expanded deposition of the relevant standard planktonic foraminiferal biozones with indicative index species i.e.: Morozovella velascoensis for the latest Paleocene P5 zone, and Acarinina sibaiyaensis for the earliest Eocene E1 zone, Pseudohastigerina wilcoxensis for the E2 zone, Morozovella marginodentata for the E3 zone and Morozovella formosa for the E4 zone.

Geochronological Evidence Of Pan-African Eclogites From The Central Menderes Massif, Turkey, Oberhaensli Roland, Osman Candan, Franziska Wilke
Geochronological Evidence Of Pan-African Eclogites From The Central Menderes Massif, Turkey, Oberhaensli Roland, Osman Candan, Franziska Wilke
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Menderes Massif in western Anatolia documents a complex geodynamic history from Precambrian to recent. Eclogitic relics found in metagabbros in the Precambrian basement were dated by the U/Pb method. The zircon age data from granulitic (coronitic) and eclogitic metagabbros is consistent with geological constraints as well as relative and radiometric ages of the host granulitic gneisses and augen gneisses. A Pan-African intrusion age (540 Ma) of the metagabbros and a shortly later eclogite facies event (530 Ma) are inferred. This scenario fits with the geodynamic evolution deduced form the acidic country rocks of the eclogitic metagabbros. Direct links between …

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Central Anatolia is quiet in terms of seismic activity, and rarely earthquakes up to magnitude 5.6 occur in the inner part of the Anatolian block or Anatolian platelet. Southeast of Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, two earthquake sequences with maximum magnitude of 5.6 occurred in 2005 and 2007. We discuss these shallow crustal deformation in the Anatolian platelet, in the light of seismological data from these earthquakes (M_L= 5.6) and their aftershocks. Following the earthquake of December 20, 2007 near Bala town, Ankara, we installed seven temporary stations in the first 24 hours to observe the aftershock activity and …
Danielita Gailloti N.Gen., N. Sp., Within The Evolutionary Framework Of Middle-Late Permian Dagmaritins, Demi̇r Altiner, Sevi̇nç Özkan Altiner
Danielita Gailloti N.Gen., N. Sp., Within The Evolutionary Framework Of Middle-Late Permian Dagmaritins, Demi̇r Altiner, Sevi̇nç Özkan Altiner
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The name Danielita is proposed for a new dagmaritin genus characterized by a biserial arrangement of chambers with spine-like extensions at chamber corners and a perforated wall. Danielita differs from Dagmarita, from which it was derived, by a perforated wall and constitutes one of the peculiar evolutionary trends of the dagmaritin stock. Early dagmaritins evolved from Globivalvulina cyprica by the appearance of Sengoerina in the Capitanian and the frequently encountered association G. cyprica-Sengoerina-Dagmarita-Danielita in Turkey suggests that the evolutionary derivations of dagmaritin genera occurred very rapidly in the Capitanian. The subfamily Paradagmaritinae is synonymized under the subfamily Dagmaritinae. Among recently …
Ontogeny And Funtional Morphology Of A Lower Cretaceous Carpinid Rudist (Bivalvia, Hippuritoida), Robert W. Scott, Meghan Weaver
Ontogeny And Funtional Morphology Of A Lower Cretaceous Carpinid Rudist (Bivalvia, Hippuritoida), Robert W. Scott, Meghan Weaver
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Caprinuloidea rudists are locally abundant and widespread in Lower Cretaceous (Albian Stage) Edwards Formation in Texas. Landward of the shelf margin on the shallow marine Comanche Shelf rudists built circular and elongate bioherms with coarse-grained flank deposits. Two caprinid morphotypes suggest that some lived as elevators above the substrate and others were recumbent upon mobile grain flats. Elevators have elongated attached valves and weakly coiled free valves and recumbents have arcuate attached valves and strongly coiled free valves. Detailed morphologic studies are not possible on the many molds and casts, but a few specimens are silicified. Their internal structures can …

Mathesia Mainelli (Hippuritoidea, Monopleuridae) From The Late Aptian−Albian Of The Mediterranean Region: A Revision, Jean-Pierre Masse, Mükerrem Fenerci̇-Masse
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Agria darderi Astre and Mathesia terticolloquiirudistarum Mainelli represent a single taxonomic entity: Mathesia darderi (Astre). Mathesia is characterized by an erect posterior myophoral plate and an anterior myophoral crest in the LV, the RV myophores being on the shell wall. A peculiar shell structure is observed in the RV: the junction between the outer calcitic shell layer and the inner formerly aragonitic shell layer is scalloped or festooned and usually includes longitudinal tubes. The overall morphological traits and myocardinal organisation of Mathesia are similar to those of Debrunia, although the latter lacks the scalloped or tubular inner shell features of …

A New Species Of Polyconites From The Lower Aptian Of Iberia And The Early Evolution Of Polyconitid Rudists, Peter W. Skelton, Eulàlia Gili, Telm Bover-Arnal, Ramon Salas, Josep Anton Moreno-Bedmar
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The main diagnostic character of polyconitid rudists is a distinctive ectomyophoral cavity inserted behind a reflexed posterior myophoral plate in the left valve. The only pre-Aptian Old World polyconitid taxon recognized in the current literature is Horiopleura dumortieri (Matheron): this species clearly shows the prominent posterior myophoral shelf in the right valve that is diagnostic of the genus, which continues into the Albian. Polyconites, by contrast, has a more depressed (operculiform) left valve and its posterior adductor was inserted on an inward-sloping swelling on the right valve inner wall, with no projecting shelf. Hitherto, the earliest known species of Polyconites …

Albian Rudist Fauna From The Karaburun Peninsula, İzmir Region, Western Turkey, Jean-Pierre Masse, Mükerrem Fenerci̇-Masse, İsmai̇l Işintek, Tali̇p Güngör
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Platform carbonates bearing shallow water foraminifera and dasycladale assemblages with an Albian stratigraphic significance, crop out at two localities on the Karaburun Peninsula: Barbaros and Zeytineli. Rudist faunas collected from these localities include Toucasia seunesi Douvillé, Pseudotoucasia catalaunica Astre , Mathesia darderi (Astre), Petalodontia ? sp., and Eoradiolites sp. aff. murgensis. The overall stratigraphic significance of this fauna is consistent with the Albian age derived from micropalaeontological data. Some taxonomic elements, e.g. Toucasia seunesi, Pseudotoucasia catalaunica and Mathesia darderi possess a broad Mediterranean palaeobiogeographic distribution. By contrast, Eoradiolites sp. aff. murgensis, an advanced form resembling Eoradiolites murgensis, restricted to the …

Maastrichtian Rudist Fauna From Tarbur Formation (Zagros Region, Sw Iran): Preliminary Observations, Ahmad Reza Khazaei, Peter W. Skelton, Mehdi Yazdi̇
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The uppermost Cretaceous Tarbur Formation of the Zagros region (SW Iran) is mainly siliciclastic in composition, though it also incorporates some carbonate units including several rudist lithosomes. Two sections through this formation, in the Semirom and Gerdbisheh areas, have been chosen for study of the lithosomes and their rudist fauna. These lithosomes vary in faunal content, geometry and internal organization (density and diversity). Preliminary investigation of the specimens collected from the studied sections reveals a diverse rudist fauna. Eleven genera and 23 species have been determined, belonging to the rudist families Hippuritidae, Radiolitidae and Dictyoptychidae. These rudist assemblages indicate a …

Excavated specimens of two primitive rudists, Epidiceras speciosum (Goldfuss) and Epidiceras guirandi (de Loriol), are systematically described for the first time from the Tithonian-Berriasian Torinosu-type limestones of the Torinosu Group in the Sakawa area, Central Shikoku, Southwest Japan. E. guirandi was previously known only from the Late Kimmeridgian Mediterranean Tethys, so this occurrence in Southwest Japan significantly extends the recorded biogeographical and stratigraphical distribution of the species. Moreover, the documentation of E. speciosum from the Torinosu-type limestones in Japan and the Bau Limestone in Sarawak, Borneo, indicate that this species was already widespread throughout the Tethyan Realm at that time. …

As the rudist bivalves represent important organic buildups in the Cretaceous platform sequences, this study emphasizes vertical and spatial distribution of this group of bivalves in the geographic divisions of Egypt, including Western Desert, Eastern Desert and Sinai. Rudists are encountered in different rock facies ranging from mudstones to carbonates. About sixty eight species belong to twenty one genera are reported from Egypt. They belong to six families: Requieniidae, Monopleuridae, Caprotinidae, Caprinidae, Hippuritidae, and Radiolitidae. The Radiolitidae is the most diverse family, comprising eleven genera and fifty-one species, dominated by species of Radiolites, Eoradiolites and Durania. The elevator morphotype of …
