Impact of Azobenzene Side Chains on the Ultraviolet–Visible and Fluorescence Properties of Coumarin Derivatives
Akdis, Yasemin; Akdağ, Akın (2025-10-28)
The effect of photoswitchable compounds on the light-emitting properties of nanoparticles has been drawing increasing attention. To investigate the effect of photoswitchable azobenzene units on the photophysical properties...
Intramolecular through-space charge transfer between benzofuran and ynone groups on a naphthalene spacer
Calikyilmaz, Eylul; Karaoglu, Gozde; Demir, Mete; ŞAHİN, ONUR; Ulgut, Burak; Akdağ, Akın; TÜRKMEN, YUNUS EMRE (2024-01-01)
We have developed a new scaffold that exhibits an efficient intramolecular through-space charge transfer (CT). In this design, electron-rich benzofuran and electron-deficient ynone groups are placed strategically in proxim...
A New Ratio-Metric pH Probe, "ThiAKS Green" for Live-Cell pH Measurements
Akyol, Ali; Baykal, Doruk; Akdağ, Akın; Sensoy, Ozge; Son, Çağdaş Devrim (2023-3-01)
Deviation of the H+ concentration from optimum values within the organelles is closely associated with irregular cellular functions that cause the onset of various diseases. Therefore, determining subcellular pH values in ...
Effect of tetraethylene glycol side chain conformation on chiroptical properties of chirality-induced benzocoumarin
Öztürk, Perihan; Akdağ, Akın (2022-10-01)
Coumarins are multifaceted molecules with compelling fluorescence features. Along with biocompatible properties, they have recently been used in chiroptical studies. The chirality induction to benzo[f]coumarin moiety at th...
Amino Acid Conjugated Spiropyrans: Synthesis and Photoisomerization Studies
Şentürk, Bengi; Akdağ, Akın (2022-09-01)
Among photo-switchable compounds, spiropyrans have attracted significant attention owing to their multi-responsiveness towards a change in the pH, solvent polarity, and temperature, along with light. Upon exposure to the e...
Synthesis of azobenzene-containing macrocycles exhibiting unexpected fluorescence
Hosgor, Ege; Akdağ, Akın (2022-03-01)
Polyfunctional macrocycles have been studied extensively for their responsive properties. In this study, three electron- deficient novel azo-containing crown ethers were successfully synthesized. The synthesized macrocycle...

Chiral Polyurea from Tartaric Acid Derived and Lysine Backbone: A Synthetic and Computational Study
Ünay, Gizem; Yıldırım, Erol; Akdağ, Akın (2020-11-01)
In recent years, the studies on artificial helical polymers have become an attractive field due to their impressive optical activity and functions. They have numerous potential applications in many areas such as chiral rec...
Effect of the donor units on the properties of fluorinated acceptor based systems
Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Akdağ, Akın; Çakal, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01)
A new series of monomers in the donor-acceptor-donor array, namely 5-fluoro-4,7-di(furan-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (F2BT-F), and 5-fluoro-4,7-di(selenophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5] thiadiazole (S2BT-F), bearing 5-fluorob...
Studies on Synthesis of Boron and Carborane Cage Derivatives
Akdağ, Akın; Doğan, Sevban (TENMAK Bor Araştırma Enstitüsü, 2020-3-29)
Weakly coordinating anions are extremely versatile species for capturing and characterizing cationic intermediates. Among these anions, carboranes and some boranes are known to be the most weakly coordinating anions. In th...
