Near-IR dyes that absorb and emit in the red visible or near-IR region have attracted great interest in the fields of medicinal chemistry and biochemistry for the last few decades. This interest is due to the multiple notes of metal ions in biological and enviromental processes. Therefore the development of cation selective and sensitive sensors have been a hot subject for many researchers. Consequently, fluorescence based sensors are the most efficient and favorable ones among its counterparts in the field of sensor research. In this study, we have targeted to synthesize BODIPY based near-IR dyes as a selective fluorophore for Zn (II) and Hg (II) cations. We have also demonstrated that the versatile BODIPY fluorophore can be functionalized for long wavelength emission on the 3 and 5 position of the BODIPY core with multiple and distinct functional groups in a stepwise manner. Thus we are able to link two BODIPY cores with a different absorption wavelengths to each other first time with click chemistry strategy to generate a chemosensor for Hg (II) cation.

The development of the novel synthesis for conduritols
Cantekin, Seda; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2006)
Conduritols have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years owing to biological activities exhibited by them and also their usefulness in the synthesis of other natural products and pharmaceuticals. Conduritols show interesting inhibitor activity for some glycosidases and serve as important intermediates in the synthesis of inositols. In this study, novel synthetic strategies leading to highly functionalized cyclohexene derivative containing an aromatic ring, namely phenyl-substituted conduritol wa...

Özcan, Sevil; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2007)
Many heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur show wide range of physiological activities and their synthesis has always been attracted the interest of chemists. The aim of this research is to develop new synthetic methodologies leading to the synthesis of new derivatives of isocoumarines, indoles, isoquinolines, benzodiazepinones and quinazolines, which have been found to show important biological activities. Starting from homophthalic acid and bishomophthalic acid the corresponding ac...
Design and synthesis of new supramolecular building blocks based on oligo-bodıpy dyes
Bilgiç, Bora; Akkaya, Engin Umut; Department of Chemistry (2008)
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 modifie...
Synthesis of ferrocenyl cycloheptadienones
Açıkgöz, Canet; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2005)
Synthesis of seven-membered ring systems such as cycloheptadienones has attracted a great deal of attention in organic chemistry since they are present in a variety of biologically important molecules. Incorporation of the essential structures of such compounds with a ferrocene moiety instead of an aryl group could provide subtances with enhanced antitumor activities since some ferrocene derivatives have already proved to be active against a number of tumors. To develop a ferrocenyl-substituted seven-member...
Synthesis of 5-ferrocenyl-4-((4-nitrophenyl)sulfenyl)-1H-pyrazoles by electrophilic cyclization
Karahan Dağ, Fulya; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2011)
Pyrazoles have been intensely studied in the design and synthesis of biologically active agents because they display considerable medicinal activities. Recent studies have shown that integration of a ferrocenyl unit with structural features of pyrazoles can result in the formation of the new products with enhanced or/and unexpected biological activity since several ferrocene derivatives have already been illustrated to be active against a number of tumors. Therefore, we have investigated the electrophilic c...
