A DFT Study on Benzotrifuroxan and its Isomers

2010-01-01
Türker, Burhan Lemi
Benzotrifuroxan is a powerful, hydrogen-free explosive material. It also has an interesting chemistry. Through ring opening and reclosure mechanisms, various isomers are likely to form. In the present study, within the density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G(d)), isomeric benzotrifuroxans, dinitrosobenzodifuroxans, and tetranitrosobenzomonofuroxans as well as hexanitrosobenzene have been investigated. Also, the monoionic forms of some of these have been considered.

A DFT Study on Estrone - TNT Interaction
Türker, Burhan Lemi; Bayar, Caglar Celik (Wiley, 2013-08-01)
Trinitrotoluene, known as TNT, is a widely used powerful explosive. It is a poisonous material, which injures almost all cells, especially those of liver, bone marrow, and kidney. Estrone is a sex hormone having an electron rich aromatic (phenolic) ring that is capable of forming a pi complex with molecules containing an electron deficient pi system. This study has focused on investigating the tendency of the complex formation of TNT with estrone. It has been thought that the formation of estrone-TNT pi com...
A DFT Study on Push-Pull (Amino-Nitro) Fulminenes and Hexahelicenes
Türker, Burhan Lemi; Bayar, Caglar Celik; Balaban, Alexandru T. (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
In order to investigate the steric and electronic effects of electron-donor (amino) and -acceptor (nitro) substituents on hexahelicene and fulminene (isomeric and isoarithmic compounds), sixteen different types of terminal-amino-nitro hexahelicenes (H1-H16) and fulminenes (F1-F16) have been designed and investigated theoretically by the DFT method at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. Besides electronic and thermodynamic properties, aromaticities (via NICS(0) calculations) have also been discussed for the above sets of ...
Investigation of pi-pi Interactions between TNT and (R)-Hexahelicene
Celik Bayar, Caglar; Türker, Burhan Lemi (Informa UK Limited, 2020-08-01)
The detection of an energetic molecule TNT is an important issue especially in military applications and as a result many of the studies focused on this subject in the literature. In this study, except from the literature, the possible interactions between TNT and polycyclic aromatic chiral compound (R)-Hexahelicene were examined theoretically in terms of non-covalent pi-pi interactions, theoretically. It was observed that (R)-Hexahelicene had such interactions with TNT via the 2nd and 3rd six-membered ring...
A numerical study of solidification and viscous dissipation effects on polymer melt flow in plane channels
Tutar, Mustafa; Karakuş, Ali (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2013-04-01)
The combined effects of solidification and viscous dissipation on the hydrodynamic and thermal behavior of polymer melt flow during the injection process in a straight plane channel of constant cross section are numerically studied by considering the shear-rate and temperature-dependent viscosity and transient-phase change behavior. A numerical finite volume method, in conjunction with a modified form of the Cross constitutive equation to account for shear rate, temperature-dependent viscosity changes and a...
Characterization studies on aging properties of acetyl ferrocene containing HTPB-based elastomers
Dilsiz, N; Unver, A (Wiley, 2006-08-15)
In composite solid propellants, low-molecular-weight species such as burning rate catalysts, plasticizer, etc. which migrate into liner and thermal insulation layers during curing and storage invariably result in poor mechanical and ballistic properties of the propellants. In the present study, the migration of the burning rate catalyst, acetyl ferrocene, was investigated spectrophotometrically (UV-visible) by evaluating the extent of hindrance to such migration after applying a barrier (liner) of various c...
