Computational studies on tetranitro derivatives of [2,2]paracyclophane are carried out at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. Optimized geometries, electronic structures and some thermodynamic properties have been obtained in their ground states. Also, detonation performances were evaluated by the Kamlet-Jacobs equations, based on the quantum-chemical calculated densities and heat of formation values. Aromaticities were investigated by performing NICS (nucleus independent chemical shift) calculations using the gauge invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) approach at the same theoretical level. The results show that these kinds of compounds possess some properties of energetic materials and if these stable tetra-nitro substituted [2,2]paracyclophanes can be synthesized, they may be potential candidates for powerful energetic materials.

Molecular orbital treatment of some endohedrally doped C-60 systems Türker, Burhan Lemi; Gumus, S (Informa UK Limited, 2006-03-01) The present review article is a collection of the theoretical studies about some endohedrally doped C-60 systems, based on density functional theory and ab initio calculations. The energies of the composite system, as well as molecular orbital energies depend on the type of dopant, symmetry of the system and the spin state. In the case of C@ C-60, the dopant interacts with the cage depending on the symmetry and spin state, whereas in Be@ C-60, Be is found to be unbound. In certain cases ( as Ca, Sc and Y) t...
Kinetic study of the reaction between hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene and isophorone diisocyanate in bulk by quantitative FTIR spectroscopy Kincal, D; Özkar, Saim (Wiley, 1997-12-05) A kinetic study of the reaction between a hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) was carried out in the bulk state by using quantitative Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy. The reaction is shown to obey a second-order rate law, being first order in both the HTPB and IPDI concentrations. The activation parameters obtained from the evaluation of kinetic data are Delta H-double dagger = 41.1 +/- 0.4 kJ mol, Delta S-double dagger = -198 +/- 2 J K-1 mol(-1) and E-a...
Electrochemical Synthesis of Poly(methylsilyne) and Investigation of the Effects of Parameters on the Synthesis EROĞLU PALA, DAMLA; Nur, Yusuf; Bayram, Göknur; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2010-12-05) This study aims to synthesize poly(methylsilyne) by electrochemical reduction of methyltrichlorosilane at a constant potential of -6 V, while investigating the effects of parameters such as the nature of the electrode, solvent and supporting electrolyte, the monomer/solvent ratio, and the reaction time on the properties of the products. The polymer was characterized by H-1-NMR (Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), UV-Visible Spectroscopy, and TGA (...
A COMPUTATIONAL STUDY ON SOME SELENIUM-CONTAINING NAPHTHALENE DERIVATIVES Türker, Burhan Lemi (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) A quantum chemical study, based on DFT theory is presented which considers certain selenium-containing naphthalene derivatives, including a keto group together with a Se atom embedded in either a five- or six-membered ring fused with naphthalene moiety. The corresponding enol structures also are considered. The quantum chemical and IR data collected are analyzed and NICS(0) values have been obtained.
On the cryptoannulenic behavior of certain corannulenes Türker, Burhan Lemi (Informa UK Limited, 1996-01-01) Cryptoannulenic behavior of certain corannulenes is investigated within the Framework of Huckel molecular orbital theory. It has been found that the cryptoannulenic behavior of the corannulenes studied, generally arises from the type of their individual peripheral rings (4m or 4m + 2) but not from the type of the inner or outer periphery of the whole corannulene system.
