The separation of lanthanides from minor actinides such as americium and curium is an important step during the recycling process in the treatment of nuclear waste. However, the similar chemistry and ionic size of lanthanide and actinide ions make the separation challenging. Here, we report that a peptide-based reagent can selectively bind trivalent actinides over trivalent lanthanides by means of introducing soft-donor atoms into a peptide known as a lanthanide-binding tag (LBT). Fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to measure the dissociation constant of each metal/peptide complex. A 10-fold selectivity was obtained for Am3+ over the similarly sized lanthanide cation, Nd3+, when the asparagine on the fifth position of a LBT was mutated to a cysteine and further functionalized by a pyridine moiety.

Stereoselective synthesis of optically active cyclitol precursors via a chemoenzymatic method Oguzkaya, Funda; Sahin, Ertan; Tanyeli, Cihangir (Elsevier BV, 2006-11-17) Racemic alpha'-acetoxy alpha,beta-unsaturated cyclohexanone has been converted to the corresponding enantiomerically enriched alpha'-hydroxylated and acetoxylated compounds with 97% ee via enzymatic resolution with PLE. OSO4-Catalyzed dihydroxylation of enantiomerically enriched alpha'-acetoxylated compound afforded a single diastereomer in 85% chemical yield. The absolute configuration of 2,3,6-triacetoxycylohexanone was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Subsequent Luche reduction allowed us to obt...
Electrochemistry of nickel(II) complexes with N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)polymethylenediamines Ozalp-Yaman, S; Kasumov, VT; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-03) The electrochemical oxidation of several N,N'-polymethylenebis(3,5-di-tert- butylsalicylaldiminato)nickel(II) complexes, Ni(L-x), has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and in situ UV-Vis spectroscopy in DMF Cyclic voltammograms of Ni(L-x) (x = 1-4) complexes displayed two-step oxidation processes under nitrogen gas atmosphere. The first oxidation peak potentials of all the Ni(II) complexes corresponds to the reversible one-electron oxidation process of the metal center, yielding Ni(III) species. EPR spectr...
Catalytic enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes using aziridine based chiral ligands BULUT, Adnan; ASLAN, Ayhan; İZGÜ, Enver Cagri; Doğan, Özdemir (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-16) The readily available ferrocenyl substituted aziridinylmethanol 1 (FAM-1) was used as a chiral catalyst in the diethylzinc addition reaction to aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to give secondary alcohols in high yields and up to 99% enantiomeric excess at room temperature. The catalyst can be recovered and used without losing its activity.
trans- and cis-Ru(II) aminophosphine complexes: Syntheses, X-ray structures and catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives AYDEMİR, MURAT; BAYSAL, AKIN; Özkar, Saim; Yildirim, Leyla Tatar (Elsevier BV, 2011-02-28) The ability of transition metal catalysts to add or remove hydrogen from organic substrates by transfer hydrogenation process is a valuable synthetic tool. For this aim, a novel Ru(II) complex with the P-N ligand [(Ph(2)P)(2)NCH(2)-C(4)H(3)S] derived from thiophene-2-methylamine was synthesized starting with the complex [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)(mu-Cl)Cl](2) and isolated in two isomeric forms: trans- and cis[Ru((PPh(2))(2)NCH(2)-C(4)H(3)S)(2)Cl(2)], 2 and 3, respectively. The structures of both isomers were also...
Synthesis of ferrocenyl quinolines Zora, Metin (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-01) A convenient one-pot synthesis of ferrocenyl-substituted quinolines via a molecular iodine-catalyzed reaction of ferrocenylimines with enolizable aldehydes is reported. First, nucleophilic addition of the in situ generated enol to ferrocenylimine produces beta-anilinopropionaldehyde, which then undergoes intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction to give dihydroquinoline derivative. Finally, subsequent dehydration and aerobic oxidation affords ferrocenyl quinolines.
