To start, a brief introduction is provided on the importance of transition-metal nanoclusters, on the need to develop and then apply methods to rank the nanocluster formation and then stabilizing abilities of commonly employed anions, solvents, cations, and polymers, and on the somewhat confused literature of nanocluster stabilization. The fundamental importance of surface-adsorbed anions in transition-metal nanocluster stabilization is noted, the reason the present studies begin with a study of nanocluster-stabilizing anions. Next, five criteria, as well as the associated experimental methods, are developed to evaluate the efficacy of nanocluster stabilizing agents. The criteria are of fundamental significance in that they allow the separation of stabilizing agent effects on nanocluster formation from those on nanocluster stabilization. The results from applying the five criteria to four commonly employed anions lead to the first "anion series" of relative nanocluster-formation and stabilizing abilities, at least for the Ir(0) nanoclusters examined and by the following five criteria: [(P2W15Nb3O61)(2)O](16-) (a Bronsted-basic polyoxoanion) > C6H5O73- (citrate trianion) > [-CH2-CH(CO2)-](n)(n-) (polyacrylate) similar to Cl-. In addition to the needed methods and the first anion series, six other (8 total) conclusions are reached, important insights in an area previously lacking hard information about which anions are the better choices for nanocluster formation and stabilization. The results are also of significance in establishing polyoxoanions, notably highly charged and basic polyoxoanions such as [(P2W15Nb3O61)(2)O](16-), as the present "Gold Standards" among currently known nanocluster stabilizing anions, and according to the above five criteria. Such standards provide a reference point for future work aspiring to develop even better nanocluster stabilizing anions, solvents, cations, and polymers or their combinations.

Isoquinolinedione-urea hybrids: Synthesis, antibacterial evaluation, drug-likeness, molecular docking and DFT studies HAN, MUHAMMED İHSAN; Dengiz, Çağatay; Dogan, Sengul Diem; GÜNDÜZ, MİYASE GÖZDE; KÖPRÜ, SEMİHA; ÖZKUL KOÇAK, CEREN (2022-03-01) In the present study, we applied the molecular hybridization approach to combine isoquinolinedione and urea pharmacophores in the same molecules. The hybrid compounds (IU1-IU14) were obtained by the reaction of 2-aminohomophthalimide and an equivalent amount of various isocyanate derivatives. After confirming the chemical structures and evaluating drug-likeness properties, the synthesized compounds were examined for their antibacterial activities against a wide range of bacteria. The compounds possessing li...
Microorganism mediated stereoselective bio-oxidation and bio-hydrogenation reactions and thiamine pyrophosphate dependent enzyme catalyzed enantioselective acyloin reactions Sopacı, Şaziye Betül; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Biotechnology (2009) In this study various microbial and enzymatic methods developed for enantioselective acyloin synthesis for preparation of some pharmaceutically important intermediates. By performing Aspergillus flavus (MAM 200120) mediated biotransformation, enantioselective bio-oxidation of meso-hydrobenzoin was achieved with a high ee value (76%). Racemic form of hydrobenzoin was also employed for the same bio-oxidation process and this bioconversion was resulted in accumulation of meso form (>90% yield) confirming the s...
Oligomeric ethylene glycols as sorting tags for parallel and combinatorial mixture synthesis Wilcox, CS; Türkyılmaz, Serhan (Elsevier BV, 2005-03-14) Sorting tags for chromatography allow mixtures of substrates to be carried through parallel chemical processes and then separated. The first sorting tags were fluorocarbons. An enabling characteristic of fluorous sorting tags is the predictable incremental increase in retention time with increasing fluorocarbon chain length. Here we describe a general approach to sorting tags and report our discovery of a second class of chromatographic tags. The new tags are oligomeric ethylene glycol (OEG) derivatives.
Organocatalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Dihydronaphthofurans and Dihydrobenzofurans: Reaction Development and Insights into Stereoselectivity & Design and Synthesis of Heterogeneous Recyclable Organocatalysts SUSAM, Zeynep Dilşad; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2022-11-18) The first part of thesis comprises Friedel-Crafts/substitution, which is the most common and widely used C-C bond forming reaction in synthetic organic chemistry. Applications of these reactions in domino type reactions are trending topic in organocatalytic studies in the recent years. These types of reactions are used to perform dihydrobenzofuran (DHB) and dihydronaphthofuran (DHN) skeletons, which are very important pharmaceutical precursors. In this study, it was chosen as the key step in domino reaction...
Ionic conductivity of microporous titanosilicate ETS-10 and ion-exchanged Mn+-ETS-10 (where, Mn+ = Li+, Na+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+) thin films prepared by secondary growth method Galioglu, Sezin; Çam, İbrahim; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2017-09-15) Impedance spectroscopy was used to investigate the long-range ionic conductivity of the microporous, titanosilicate (Na,K)-ETS-10 and ion-exchanged Mn+-ETS-10 (where, Mn+ = Li+, Na+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+) thin films prepared by secondary growth method. To figure out the effect of grain boundary on ionic conduction, as-synthesized (Na,K)-ETS-10 films possessing different thicknesses of columnar grain structure (i.e., films prepared via 4h-, 6h-, 8h-, and 10h-growth) were tested. The conductivities of the films w...
