We have designed and synthesized a fluorescent, self-assembled molecular square containing a highly fluorescent well known flurophore boradiazaindacene (BODIPY) dye. Pt(II) complexes were used to hold together BODIPY derivatives and give the right angle to form the square structure. Usage of BODIPY fluorophore is very important on such structures because its variety of superior properties. BODIPY is a well studied fluorophore in our group and it is known that this self assembled square can be easily modified to any area of use it is needed.

Towards autonomous molecular machines : switching coupled to an oscillating reaction
İçli, Burçak; Akkaya, Engin Umut; Department of Chemistry (2007)
We have designed and synthesized a bistable pseudo-rotaxane carrying a fluorescent boradiazaindacene (BODIPY) unit. The intensity of the emission signal is dependent on the position of the cucurbituril (CB7) unit over the axle component. Thus, pH modulated switching of the CB7 wheel is accompanied by significant changes in the emission spectrum. Additionally, a thiosulfate-sulfite-iodate oscillating reaction which generates large amplitude pH oscillations can be carried out in the same solution. In such a s...
Novel molecular building blocks based on bodipy chromophore: applications in metallosupramolecular polymers and ion sensing
Büyükçakır, Onur; Akkaya, Engin Umut; Department of Chemistry (2008)
We have designed and synthesized boradiazaindacene (BODIPY) derivatives, appropriately functionalized for metal ion mediated supramolecular polymerization. Thus, ligands for 2- and 2,6-terpyridyl and bipyridyl functionalized BODIPY dyes were synthesized through Sonogashira couplings. These new fluorescent building blocks are responsive to metal ions in a stoichiometry dependent manner. Octahedral coordinating metal ions such as Zn(II), result in polymerization at a stoichiometry which corresponds to two ter...
Water-soluble green perylenediimide (PDI) dyes as potential sensitizers for photodynamic therapy
Yukruk, F; Dogan, AL; Canpinar, H; Guc, D; Akkaya, EU (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2005-07-07)
A series of water-soluble green perylenediimide (PDI) dyes have been synthesized. On red light excitation, these dyes were shown to be efficient generators of singlet oxygen, and in cell culture media, they were shown to display significant light-induced cytotoxic effects on the human erythroleukemia cell line (K-562). It appears that highly versatile PDI dyes are likely to find new applications in photodynamic therapy.
Novel studies on the chemoenzymatic synthesis of polychlorinated bicyclic systems and the synthesis of C2 and C3 symmetric chiral ligands
Türkmen, Yunus Emre; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2006)
Optically active polychlorinated bicyclic systems are important starting materials for the synthesis of complex target molecules. In the first part of the study, the syntheses of several racemic and meso hexachloronorbornene derivatives were executed successfully, starting from hexachlorocyclopentadiene. The enantio-enriched acetoxymethyl derivative (-)-2 and the hemiester (-)-6 were synthesized in high e.e. values by using several hydrolase type enzymes. The absolute configuration of (-)-2 was determined b...
Reaction of propargyl aldehydes with hydrazinium salts: synthesis of ferrocenyl and Phenyl substituted pyrazoles
Pınar, Ayşe Nur; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2008)
Pyrazoles have been focus of a large number of investigations in the design and synthesis of novel biologically active agents that show remarkable medicinal activities. Although pyrazoles have been studied for over a century as an important class of heterocyclic compounds, they still continue to attract considerable attention due to the wide range of medicinal activities they possess. Recent studies have shown that combination of a ferrocenyl unit with structural features of pyrazoles can lead to products w...
