A new chloride generation system was designed for the direct, sensitive, rapid and accurate determination of the total germanium in complex matrices. It was aimed to improve the detection limit of chloride generation technique by increasing the vapor pressure of germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4). In order to do so, a novel joint vapor production and gas-liquid separation unit equipped with a home-made oven was incorporated to an ordinary nitrous oxide-acetylene flame atomic absorption spectrometer. Several variables such as reaction time, temperature and acid concentration have been investigated. The linear range for germanium determination was 0.1-10 ng mL(-1) for 1 mL sampling volume with a detection limit (3 s) of 0.01 ng mL(-1). The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 2.4% for nine replicates of a 1 ng mL(-1) germanium solution. The method was validated by the analysis of one non-certified and two certified geochemical reference materials, respectively, CRM GSJ-JR-2 (Rhyolite), and GSJ-JR-1 (Rhyolite), and GBW 07107 (Chinese Rock). Selectivity of the method was investigated for Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Ga3+, Hg2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Sn2+, and Zn2+ ions and ionic species of As(III), Sb(III), Te(IV), and Se(IV).

Phase transition of chemically synthesized FePt nanoparticles under high pressure ŞİMŞEK, TELEM; Karci, Ozgur; ÖZCAN, ŞADAN (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2018-01-01) We present the results of a study related to phase transformation of chemically synthesized FePt nanoparticles under high pressure from face-centered cubic into face-centered tetragonal structure. As-synthesized nanoparticles are around 4.5 nm and show superparamagnetic behavior at 300 K. After annealing under 60 bar pressure of hydrogen at 400 degrees C for 2 h, nanoparticles exhibit strong ferromagnetic behavior with 5391 Oe coercivity. Results show that high-pressure annealing lowers the decomposition te...
Gold-assembled silica-coated cobalt nanoparticles as efficient magnetic separation units and surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrate Yıldırım, Lütfiye Sezen; Volkan, Mürvet (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2019-01-01) Magnetic and optical bifunctional nanoparticles that combine easy separation, preconcentration, and efficient SERS capabilities have been fabricated with high sensitivity and reproducibility through a low-cost method. These gold nanoparticles attached on magnetic silica-coated cobalt nanospheres (Co@SiO2/AuNPs) display the advantage of strong resonance absorption due to gaps at nanoscale between neighboring metal nanoparticles bringing large field enhancements, known as "hot spots". The prepared particles c...
ANODIC POTENTIAL HOMO ENERGY RELATIONS OF FLUORENE DERIVATIVES SEN, S; CELEBI, N; TURKER, L; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Wiley, 1993-09-01) Anodic oxidation peak potentials (E(p,a)) of some fluorene derivatives were measured on a Pt-degrees electrode versus Ag-degrees/Ag+ in acetonitrile-TBAFB by cyclic voltammetry. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energies of the compounds were calculated within the Huckel molecular orbital (HMO) framework. The measured E(p,a) values were correlated to theoretical HOMO energies with a linear regression model.
Atom transfer rearrangement radical polymerization of diammine-bis(2,4,6-trihalophenolato)copper(II) complexes in the solid state Goekagac, Guelsuen; Sonsuz, Muammer; Sen, Fatih; Kisakuerek, Duygu (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2006-10-01) The synthesis of the poly(dichloro- or dibromophenylene oxide)s was achieved by the thermal decomposition of diammine-bis(2,4,6-trihalophenolato)copper(II) complexes in the solid state by atom transfer rearrangement radical polymerization. The thermal decomposition was performed either at different temperature ranges, 110-250 degrees C, for 3 h, or at the maximum conversion temperature for different time intervals, 3-48 h. Maximum yields of polymers were obtained at 190 degrees C and 3 h. The polymers were ...
Preparation and characterization of a new CdS-NiFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide photocatalyst and its use for degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation Bagherzadeh, Mojtaba; Kaveh, Reyhaneh; Özkar, Saim; AKBAYRAK, SERDAR (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-01) In this paper, CdS nanoparticles as a visible light active photocatalyst were coupled by NiFe2O4 and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to form CdS-NiFe2O4/rGO nanocomposite by facile hydrothermal methods. The CdS-NiFe2O4/rGO nanocomposite shows enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light illumination. In addition to improved photocatalytic performance, this prepared nanocomposite shows increased photostability and is magnetically separable from the aqueous medi...
