Turkish Journal of Chemistry

\beta-Tetrabromo-meso-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin, H_2T(4-OCH_3P)PBr_4, was synthesized and characterized by UV-Vis and ^1H NMR spectroscopy. Oxidation of alkanes and olefins with tetra-n-butylammonium peroxymonosulfate (n-Bu_4NHSO_5) was studied in the presence of MnT(4-OCH_3P)PBr_4(OAc) and MnTPPPBr_4(OAc) (TPP = meso-tetraphenylporphyrin). While significance differences were observed between the catalytic activities of the title complexes in the oxidation of alkanes, the 2 manganese porphyrins showed comparable activities in oxidation of most of the olefins used. However, the latter showed greater catalytic performance in the oxidation of the hydrocarbons. Moreover, the oxidative degradation of the former (60 %) was greater than that of the latter (45 %) in the oxidation …

Poly(Vinyl Chloride) Functionalization By Aliphatic And Aromatic Amines: Application To The Extraction Of Some Metal Cations, Fayçel Ammari, Faouzi Meganem

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of 3 new polymers obtained by functionalization of a commercial poly(vinyl chloride) by grafting amino-alkyl and amino-aryl groups to extract some metal cations from aqueous solutions. The percentage of extraction was determined by comparing the initial electrical conductivity of the aqueous solution containing the studied metal and that of the aqueous solution at the extraction equilibrium. One of the obtained polymers gave an extraction ratio of Sn^{2+} = 87.1 %, which highlight the importance of the substitution of chlorine atoms by diethylenetriamine groups. These results were compared with those obtained …

History, Development, And A New Concept Of Phthalocyanines In Turkey, Özer Bekaroğlu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

This paper reviews the history of phthalocyanines in Turkey. Phthalocyanines are chemical compounds that were accidently discovered nearly a century ago. The relevant research and articles have grown dramatically in Turkey since our first paper on them containing four [15]crown[5] published in 1986. The ball-type phthalocyanines were produced and published as a new concept in phthalocyanine chemistry for the first time by our group in Turkey in 2006. Unfortunately, with the exception of our work on this subject, almost no papers have been published in Turkey or in other countries since then. We strongly urge scientists to consider working on …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Geometry optimizations and TD-DFT calculations have been carried out on series of fused-ring-expanded phthalonitriles, phthalocyanines, and aza-dipyrromethene boron difluoride (aza-BODIPY) dyes and trends in their optical and redox properties have been analyzed. The potential utility of fused-ring-expanded phthalocyanine and aza-BODIPY analogues for photodynamic therapy and near infrared region sensor applications is assessed on this basis. Recent attempts to prepare fused-ring-expanded aza-BODIPY analogues with benzene, pyrazine, and naphthalene rings have demonstrated that the properties of aza-BODIPYs vary markedly when different fused ring systems are added to the \beta-carbons of the pyrrole rings. A comparison of the TD-DFT calculations demonstrates that, as …

Density functional theory was employed to investigate a series of phthalocyanine derivatives, discovering the limitation when the expansion of the conjugated system was employed to improve the hyper-Rayleigh scattering response coefficient. Furthermore, an unusually C_{\infty v}-type octupolar population was found by electrostatic potential analysis. In addition, the dynamic and static hyper-Rayleigh scattering responses (\beta_{HRS}) were simulated using the coupled perturbed density functional theory, showing an increasing dynamic \beta_{HRS} value along with an increase in incident light energy.
