A novel highly substituted and fluorescent aromatic-fused imidazole derivative has been synthesized by rational design. This novel fluorescent material acts as an alternative antibacterial agent against Gram positive bacteria strains. It shows superior antibacterial activity (with MIC value of 8 mu g/mL) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) when compared with standard antibiotic drugs Ampicillin (with MIC value of 128 mu g/mL) and Kanamycin (with MIC value of > 512 mu g/mL). The interaction of this novel compound with the bacterial cell and genomic DNA has also been studied to elucidate antibacterial mode of action. Fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy studies have proved the intracellular uptake of this special compound. Likewise, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy studies have revealed a significant decrease in the absorption and emission bands of the compound upon its interaction with plasmid and genomic DNA, which is likely due to its DNA intercalation property. Furthermore, these findings have been supported by gel electrophoresis of genomic DNA of S. aureus cells treated with the compound. The results indicate that this novel compound exerts its antibacterial activity by causing DNA damage, suggesting the potential utility of fluorescent probes for real-time diagnosis and treatment of bacterial infections.

A novel multi-electrochromic polymer based on selenophene and benzotriazole via electrochemical and chemical polymerization
Demir, Fatma; Keles, Duygu; Karabag, Aliekber; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Informa UK Limited, 2019-03-04)
In this study, a novel donor-acceptor type monomer was designed based on selenophene and benzotriazole with a bulky pendant group and synthesized through Stille coupling reaction. The monomer was polymerized electrochemically by using cyclic voltammetry and also chemically by oxidation in the presence of FeCl3. Both polymers were then compared in terms of their optical properties, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical behaviors, kinetic and colorimetric properties and surface morphologies. Independent ...
Density functional theory calculations for [C2H4N2O6]((n)) (n=0,+1,-1)
Turker, Lemi; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2006-08-21)
The structural and electronic properties of neutral and mono ionic structures of isolated ethylene glycol dinitrate (EGDN) [C2H4N2O6]((n)) (n = 0, +1, -1) have been investigated by performing density functional theory calculations at B3LYP level. The optimum geometry, vibrational frequencies, electronic structure and some thermo dynamical values of the structures considered have been obtained in their ground states. The calculations reveal that as the charge develops the bond lengths and angles change. In t...
A novel electrochromic and fluorescent polythienylpyrrole bearing 1,1 '-bipyrrole
CİHANER, ATİLLA; Mert, Olcay; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-30)
A novel conducting polymer was successfully synthesized via electropolymerization of 1-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole. The electrochemical and electro-optical properties of the corresponding polymer, which was the first example of polymer containing 1,1'-bipyrrole units, were elaborated using electroanalytical and spectroscopic techniques. Cyclic voltammograms and electro-optical studies showed that the polymer has a stable and well-defined reversible redox process as well as electrochrom...
A monostyryl-boradiazaindacene (BODIPY) derivative as colorimetric and fluorescent probe for cyanide ions
Ekmekci, Zeynep; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; AKKAYA, Engin Umut (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2008-02-07)
We developed a novel boradiazaindacene derivative to detect cyanide ions in solution at micromolar concentrations. This structurally simple chemosensor displays a large decrease in emission intensity and a reversible color change from red to blue on contact with cyanide ions. Highly fluorescent polymeric films can be obtained by doping with the chemosensor. Such polymeric materials can be used for the sensing of the cyanide ions in polymer matrices.
A membrane-based co-treatment strategy for the recovery of print- and beck-dyeing textile effluents
Capar, G.; Yılmaz, Levent; Yetiş, Ülkü (Elsevier BV, 2008-03-21)
This paper describes the final part of a study on the recovery of print- and beck-dyeing wastewaters of the carpet manufacturing industry by membrane processes. These wastewaters had been previously treated separately where the print dyeing wastewaters were recovered by chemical precipitation followed by nanofiltration (NF) and beck-dyeing wastewaters were subjected to microfiltration (MF) and pH neutralization prior to NF. In this study, a co-treatment scheme after separate pre-treatment stages was adopted...
