Novel organic inorganic hybrid heterogeneous nanocatalysts were obtained by covalent anchoring of a molybdenum(vi) complex of salicylidene 2-picoloyl hydrazine, MoO2(sal-phz)(CH3OH), (1) on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles functionalized by one of two routes: in the first method, the surface of magnetic nanoparticles is directly modified with 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane yielding 1A. In the second method, magnetic nanoparticles were silica-coated with tetraethoxysilane and then with 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane yielding the intermediate 2B. Then complex 1 was grafted on the surface of 1A or 2B through covalent interaction yielding 2A or 3B, respectively. The nanocatalysts 2A and 3B were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TGA, EDX and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques. Nanocomposite 2A shows a much higher catalytic activity and stability in liquid phase epoxidation reactions, with t-BuOOH as the oxidant, compared to that of 3B. Additionally, the results of comparative study show that 2A is more active and reusable than the Mo complex immobilized SBA-15.

Novel conversion of thiols into disulfides, via S-nitrosothiol intermediates using trichloronitromethane
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Igdir, AC; Mahasneh, AS (1999-10-15)
An efficient oxidative coupling of thiols to give disulfides via thionitrite (S-nitrosothiol) intermediate is described using trichloronitromethane as an efficient reagent in organic solvents and water. Cysteine and glutathione are converted into the corresponding disulfides in water in high yields.

Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U. 001 is a purple non-sulfur bacterium which evolves hydrogen from the breakdown of organic acids under illumination and anaerobic conditions. In this study, the effect of light intensity, light wavelength and illumination protocol on the growth and hydrogen production of R. sphaeroides O.U. 001 was investigated in gas-tight glass photobioreactors with defined medium. The results showed Also it was found that the rate of hydrogen production increased with increasing light intensit...
Kinetic analysis of photosynthetic growth, hydrogen production and dual substrate utilization by Rhodobacter capsulatus
Sevinc, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk; EROĞLU, İNCİ; Yucel, Meral (2012-11-01)
Rhodobacter capsulatus is purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacterium which can produce hydrogen and CO2 by utilizing volatile organic acids in presence of light under anaerobic conditions. Photofermentation by PNS bacteria is strongly affected by temperature and light intensity. In the present study we present the kinetic analysis of growth, hydrogen production, and dual consumption of acetic acid and lactic acid at different temperatures (20, 30 and 38 degrees C) and light intensities (1500, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 50...
Development of new methods for the synthesis of pyrazoles, 4-iodopyrazoles, isoxazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles
Kıvrak, Arif; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2011)
Synthesis of five-membered heteroaromatic compounds such as pyrazoles, isoxazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are important for pharmaceutical industry and material science due to their applications. Although there are many methods to prepare such compounds, new variants continue to appear since they exhibit a wide range of biological and medicinal activities. In this thesis, new methods were developed for the synthesis of 4-iodopyrazoles, pyrazoles, isoxazoles, 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and/or 1,2,4-oxadiazepines. In th...
Synthesis of calcium carbonate particles for biomedical applications
Oral, Çağatay Mert; Ercan, Batur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles have been widely used in biomedical applications owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. In order to effectively utilize CaCO3 particles in biomedical applications, their physical and chemical properties should be systematically controlled. However, this is a challenging task due to the presence of three different anhydrous CaCO3 polymorphs having complex crystallization behavior. In this thesis, CaCO3 particles were synthesized at distinct environments to c...
