Polyfunctional macrocycles have been studied extensively for their responsive properties. In this study, three electron- deficient novel azo-containing crown ethers were successfully synthesized. The synthesized macrocycles were characterized and their photophysical along with photoisomerization were studied. The results were compared with their acyclic derivative. It was found that these compounds did not convert to their cis-isomer completely due to the rigidity of the cycles. The fluorescence studies revealed that the macrocycles were fluorescent while the acyclic azo derivative was found not to show fluorescence. The macrocycles were also tested for alkali metal cation-binding abilities. It was shown with DFT calculations that not only the ring size of macrocycles but also the conformation places an important role in recognition of these cations.

Microparticles with complex structures canbe used for various areas such as drug delivery1, emulsionstabilization2, sensor applications, catalysis3 andseparation processes4. We report a new synthesis procedure whichinvolve the use of photolithography combined with liquid crystal templates.Specifically, mixtures of the reactive mesogen (RM257) and nonreactive liquidcrystal (E7) were polymerized using a UV light that was filtered with alithograpy mask. We used circular, triangular, rectangular, square shape, ...
Synthesis of dipyrrolo-diazepine derivatives via intramolecular alkyne cyclization
Baskin, Dilges; Cetinkaya, Yasin; Balcı, Metin (2018-07-26)
A regioselective approach was developed for the synthesis of dipyrrolo-diazepine derivatives. The synthetic route to dipyrrolo-diazepines first involves the synthesis of dipyrromethanes, followed by reaction of propargyl bromide in the presence of NaH to attach one alkyne functionality to the pyrrole nitrogen atom. Intramolecular heterocyclization with NaH in DMF between the alkyne functionality and pyrrole nitrogen atom gave the desired structures in good yields.
ANALYSIS OF MILLIMETER WAVE-GUIDES ON ANISOTROPIC SUBSTRATES USING THE 3-DIMENSIONAL TRANSMISSION-LINE MATRIX-METHOD
BULUTAY, C; PRASAD, S (1993-06-01)
Three-dimensional condensed asymmetrical node, variable grid, transmission-line matrix (TLM) method has been used in analyzing several millimeter waveguides on anisotropic substrates. The dispersion characteristics of image guides together with field and energy confinement properties at millimeter-wave frequencies have been investigated. Edge coupled microstrip line on a uniaxial substrate is analyzed for the even and odd mode dispersion characteristics. Finally the same analysis is repeated for bilateral f...
Synthesis of Brooker's merocyanine derivatives and their application as a sensor of hydrogen sulfide
Tekir, Şafak; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Chemistry (2022-1)
Brooker's merocyanine has some unique features related to its color properties. Its facile synthesis and derivatization broaden the applications in various areas. Since it can be modified with various functional groups, it can be applied as a sensor with necessary recognition modules. In this thesis, Brooker's merocyanine derivatives were designed and 10 different derivatives were synthesized for their application as sensor of hydrogen sulfide. Nitro and azide derivatives were tried to be reduced by hydroge...
Synthesis of mfı type zeolite membranes in a continuous system
Çulfaz, Pınar Zeynep; Kalıpçılar, Halil; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
MFI type zeolites, are the most widely studied zeolites for membrane separations. Conventionally, zeolite membranes are prepared in batch systems by hydrothermal synthesis in autoclaves. This method has several disadvantages for use in industrial scale for the synthesis of membranes with large areas and complex geometries that are commonly used in membrane modules. The objective of this study is to prepare MFI type zeolite membranes on tubular alumina supports in a continuous system where the synthesis solu...
