Reversible systems such as silylamines are neutral amines that can react reversibly with CO2 to form the corresponding ammonium carbamate ionic pair. The ionic-to-neutral 'switch' capability provides an advantageous means for efficient synthesis and facile deposition of nanoparticles onto a solid support. Herein, we first illustrate the surface active/non-surface active duality of the silylamine systems with the reversible solubilization-precipitation of methyl orange from a hexane solution of the 3-(aminopropyl) tripropylsilane (TPSA) system (0.275 M). The authors then demonstrate the application of this system to the controlled reduction of an ionic gold salt to yield gold nanoparticles using two reversible silylamine systems: TPSA and 3-(aminopropyl) trihexylsilane (THSA). The post-synthesis deposition of the THSA-stabilized gold nanoparticles from solution onto a support using the surface active/non-surface active duality of these systems was also demonstrated.

Dehydration of aqueous aprotic solvent mixtures by pervaporation Sarıalp, Gökhan; Kalıpçılar, Halil; Yılmaz, Levent; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012) Aprotic solvents are organic solvents which do not easily react with a substance dissolved in it and they do not exchange protons despite of their high ion and polar group dissolving power. Therefore, this characteristic property makes aprotic solvents very suitable intermediates in many industries producing pharmaceuticals, textile auxiliaries, plasticizers, stabilizers, adhesives and ink. Dehydration of these mixtures and recirculation of valuable materials are substantial issues in industrial application...
Covalent immobilization of chloroperoxidase onto magnetic beads: Catalytic properties and stability Bayramoglu, Guelay; Kiralp, Senem; Yilmaz, Meltem; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Arica, M. Yakup (Elsevier BV, 2008-02-15) Amino groups containing magnetic beads were used in covalent immobilization of the enzyme "chloroperoxidase (CPO)" which is one of a few enzymes that can catalyse the peroxide dependent oxidation of a wide spectrum of organic and inorganic compounds. The magnetic poly(glycidylmethacrylate-methylmethacrylate-etbyleneglycol dimethacrylate), magnetic p(GMA-MMA-EGDMA) beads were prepared via suspension polymerization in the presence of ferric ions. The magnetic beads were characterized with scanning electron mi...
Enhanced solubility of siloxy-modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes in supercritical carbon dioxide Demirtas, Cansu; Dilek Hacıhabiboğlu, Çerağ (Elsevier BV, 2019-01-01) Alkyl siloxy functionalization increases the solubility of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) in supercritical carbon dioxide over an order of magnitude compared to its counterpart with fluoroalkyl groups. The studied component, octatrimethylsiloxy POSS also exhibits higher solubility than other previously studied POSS types with various alkyl and methacryl groups. The octatrimethylsiloxy POSS-CO2 solid-vapor equilibrium curves have been constructed at temperatures between 308 and 328 K by measuri...
Partial oxidation of methane on the SiO2 surface - A quantum chemical study Ozturk, S; Onal, I; Senkan, S (2000-02-01) Reaction pathways for methane partial oxidation (MPO) on silica were theoretically investigated using the semiempirical MOPAC-PM3 molecular orbital method. The surface of SiO2 was modeled by a helical Si6O18H12 molecular cluster that also exhibits a strained siloxane bridge defect. First, a bond energy analysis was performed on the silica cluster with isolated 3- and 4-coordinated Si surface atoms. Calculated bond dissociation energies for Si-H, SiO-H, and SI-OH were comparable to H-CH3, H-OH, and O-O. In t...
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...
