Thermodynamic And Kinetic Parameters Concerning Complex Formation Between 3-Hydroxy- And 1-Aminopyrene And Pyridine, Nursel Acar, Özgül Koçak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Systems formed by the pyrene derivatives 3-hydroxypyrene and 1-aminopyrene with pyridine were studied. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the systems were calculated using the changes in the absorption and emission spectra which occur due to hydrogen bond or complex formation. The decrease of the formation rate constant in the series methylcyclohexane, benzene, and o-chlorotoluene may be due to a more difficult formation of the hydrogen bond complex due to the increase of the dielectric constant in the solvent series.


Glycine Transport Through A Charged Polysulfone Cation Exchange Membrane, Nuri̇ Ünlü, Hüseyi̇n Kara, Mustafa Ersöz Jan 2002

Glycine Transport Through A Charged Polysulfone Cation Exchange Membrane, Nuri̇ Ünlü, Hüseyi̇n Kara, Mustafa Ersöz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The transport of glycine through a charged polysulfone cation exchange membrane was studied as a function of pH at different initial conditions of less than pH 5.9 and the glycine permeability was explained under the experimental conditions as pH dependent interfacial transport. The glycine permeability increases with a decreasing pH in the receiver phase. The largest permeability was obtained if the initial pH on the source side was pH 5.9 and that on the opposite side was pH 2.0. The transport phenomena can be explained by the interfacial transport based on the interfacial chemical reaction (protonation, deprotonation or ion-exchange) between …


Solvent, Temperature And Concentration Effects On The Adsorption Of Poly(N-Butyl Methacrylate) On Alumina From Solutions, Nursel Pekel, Olgun Güven Jan 2002

Solvent, Temperature And Concentration Effects On The Adsorption Of Poly(N-Butyl Methacrylate) On Alumina From Solutions, Nursel Pekel, Olgun Güven

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Adsorption of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PnBMA) on alumina from solution was studied by UV and FT-IR Photoacoustic Spectroscopy techniques. The effects of the solvent, temperature, concentration, and molecular weight of the polymer on adsorption were investigated. Three solvents, cyclohexane, carbon tetrachloride and benzene, were employed. The adsorption was dependent on molecular weight and much more polymer was adsorbed in cyclohexane than in other solvents on the alumina surface. A decrease in adsorption was observed with increasing temperature. The results are in conformity with Langmuir's isotherm. The differences observed in Langmuir parameters were explained by polymer-polymer, polymer-solvent, polymer-adsorbent, and solvent-adsorbent interactions.

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.

Application Of Quantitative Structure-Retention Relationships (Qsrr) To A Set Of Organic Bromo And Nitrile Derivatives, Gustavo P. Romanelli, Juan Carlos Autino, Eduardo A. Castro

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The retention times are studied for two sets of 1-bromo-2-aryiloxyetanes and 3- aryloxypropiononitriles derivatives by means of Quantitative Structure-Retention Relationships (QSRR}). Five quantum mechanical molecular descriptors are used to calculate the regression equations. The fitting polynomials are computed in several-variable at first, second, and third order equations. Results are only significant when resorting to several-variable formulae which seems to point out the rather complex physical chemistry nature of the property under study.

An Indirect Lectin Affinity Bioassay For Uromodulin, Zeki̇ Topcu Jan 2002

An Indirect Lectin Affinity Bioassay For Uromodulin, Zeki̇ Topcu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Uromodulin is a monomeric glycoprotein excreted in large amounts in urine. Most of the assay methods for quantifying uromodulin rely on the availability of antibodies to this glycoprotein. This study reports a new bioassay for uromodulin without requiring the presence of antibodies. The bioassay is based on the lectin affinity of the glycoprotein and the known interaction between uromodulin and the tumor necrosis factor. The measuring range of the bioassay described in this paper is between 0.13 and 1.25 \mu g/ml, which makes it a potential method for clinical use.

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 …
