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 determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The cis-isomer 3 can be isolated from the solution of major trans-isomer 2 as yellow crystals. However, upon dissolution 3 is rapidly converted to the trans-isomer 2. The new ruthenium(II) complex provides high catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives to 1-phenylethanol derivatives in the presence of 2-propanol as the hydrogen source. This transfer hydrogenation is characterized by low reversibility under the experimental conditions.

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...
Asymmetric synthesis of chiral camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts
Küçükdişli, Murat; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2009)
Chiral pyridines as organocatalysts have been used in asymmetric organic synthesis in recent years. The asymmetric synthesis of camphor fused pyridine type novel organocatalysts were perfomed starting from cheap and easily available natural (+)-camphor. Using camphor fused pyridine skeleton, six organocatalysts 29, 32, 33, 38, 40, and 41were successfully synthesized. The first four nucleophilic and Lewis base catalysts 29, 32, and 33 are different P-oxides and P,N-dioxides which were tested in allylation of...
3,5-Dimethylpyrazolium Chlorochromate(VI): An Efficient Reagent for Solvent-Free Oxidation of Organic Substrates
Özdemir, Melek (Informa UK Limited, 2012-01-01)
A new chromium(VI) reagent 3,5-dimethylpyrazolium chlorochromate, C5H8N2H[CrO3Cl] (DmpzHCC), was synthesized and used for the selective oxidation of various organic compounds under solvent-free conditions with high efficiency. This new compound has certain advantages over its companion analogues in terms of controlled acidity, amount of oxidant, lack of solvent, short reaction times, and high yields.
Multicomponent ion exchange on clinoptilolite
Bayraktaroğlu, Kerem; Yücel, Hayrettin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006)
Zeolites are crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicate minerals that are characterized by their ability to exchange some of their constituent cations with cations in aqueous solutions, without a major change in their crystalline structure. Clinoptilolite is the most abundant ype of zeolite and it has received extensive attention due to its favorable selectivity for mmonium and certain heavy metal cations. The aim of this study is to investigate the binary and ternary (multicomponent) ion xchange behavior of sod...
Proquinoidal-Conjugated Polymer as an Effective Strategy for the Enhancement of Electrical Conductivity and Thermoelectric Properties

P-doping of conjugated polymers requires electron transfer from the conjugated polymer to the p-dopant. This implies that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the conjugated polymer has to be higher than the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the p-dopant. Although commonly used p-dopants such as 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) have a low LUMO of -5.24 eV, most conjugated polymers used in high-performance field-effect transistors are donor- acceptor-type ...
