Aromatic azo compounds are one of the well-known research topics of recent times due to their photoisomeric properties under ultraviolet or visible light. Generally, these substances undergo isomerization from the thermodynamically more stable trans isomer to the cis isomer when irradiated with appropriate light radiation. The incorporation of azo groups to the macrocycle skeleton is an important part of the supramolecular chemistry. Azobenzene photoisomerization is the key mechanism of molecular motors that can be controlled by light. These are further proposed to act as catch and release receptors. In this study, macrocycles were constructed from 2-aminobenzoic acid. The benzoic acids were linked together with ethylene glycol units through ester linkage (diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol). Then, the amino parts were converted to azo linkage with Pb(OAc)4. Moreover, L-phenylalanine was incorporated into these macrocycles to get chiral macrocycles. The photophysical and photochemical properties of these macrocycles were investigated both experimentally and theoretically.

PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HUMAN MENINGIOMA M2-TYPE PYRUVATE-KINASE MELLATI, AA; YUCEL, M; ALTINORS, N; Gündüz, Ufuk (1993-10-01) The M2-type pyruvate kinase was purified from human meningioma by ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by ion exchange and affinity chromatography. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 33.4 U/mg with a yield of 6.5%.
Amino Acid Conjugated Spiropyrans: Synthesis and Photoisomerization Studies Şentürk, Bengi; Akdağ, Akın (2022-09-01) Among photo-switchable compounds, spiropyrans have attracted significant attention owing to their multi-responsiveness towards a change in the pH, solvent polarity, and temperature, along with light. Upon exposure to the external stimulants, the merocyanine form is obtained due to bond cleavage between spiro carbon and oxygen, which transforms the optically active spiropyrans into an achiral form. The back conversion of the resulting achiral merocyanine form to the spiropyrans brings about a racemic mixture...
Synthesis of alpha-Fe2O3/TiO2 heterogeneous composites by the sol-gel process and their photocatalytic activity Bouziani, Asmae; PARK, JONGEE; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) alpha-Fe2O3/TiO2 heterogeneous composites were synthesized by the sol-gel process to increase the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. The structural, morphological, and optical characteristics of the composites were determined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Results revealed that the incorporation of alpha-Fe2O3 to TiO2 widened the visible light absorption ability of TiO2. It was realized that the calcination temperature plays a crucial role in m...
Synthesis of some novel derivatives of 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone dyes Yildirir, Yilmaz; Özdemir, Melek; Disli, Ali; Çolak, Naki (2008-11-01) In present study, some derivatives of 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone dyes are synthesized and their UV-visible spectra are investigated in various conditions. Ten compounds (la-e) and (2a-e), two of which (1a, 1b) were previously obtained in low yields, have been synthesized by using diazonium salts of 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone and characterized by spectroscopic methods.
Synthesis and characterization of multi-hollow opaque polymer pigments Asmaoglu, Serdar; Gündüz, Güngör; MAVİŞ, BORA; Colak, Uner (Wiley, 2016-08-05) A new generation multihollow opaque polymer pigment was synthesized by suspension polymerization of water-in-oil-in-water emulsion method, where methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate monomer mixture was used as oil phase. The effects of surfactant and cosurfactant composition in terms of hydrophilic/lipophilic balance on the stability of the water-in-oil emulsion and the size of water droplets were studied. Low droplet sizes and the optimum stability were obtained with Span 80&Tween 80 surf...
