Öğe A spectroscopic study on new phthalonitrile derivative and its computational background: 4-[(4,5-Diphenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl]benzene-phthalonitrile(Elsevier, 2017) Akcay, Hakki Turker; Coruh, Ufuk; Bayrak, Riza; Mentese, Emre; Vazquez Lopez, Ezequiel M.Heterocyclic phthalonitrile derivatives are important precursors in synthesis of new photoactive phthalocyanine compounds. In this study, novel phthalonitrile compound bearing triazole moiety was synthesized and characterized by using spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR and NMR. The molecular structures of the title compound was analyzed crystallographically and compared with the structural parameters obtained computationally. The orbital energies, electronic absorptions, atomic charge parameters, vibrational frequencies, ground state transitions, H-1 and C-13 NMR chemical shifts and NBO analysis were computed by using DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculation and compared with the experimental results.

The gamma ray mass absorption coefficients of some coating pastes doped with antimony, boron and silver elements have been investigated. It has been determined that the gamma ray mass attenuation coefficient decreases rapidly as the energy of the gamma rays increases. It was determined that the doping of the main printing paste with silver and antimony considerably increased the gamma ray absorption capability of main paste. However, the doping of the paste with boron reduces the mass absorption of gamma rays. In particular, the gamma ray mass absorption power of the main paste doped with silver and antimony was determined to be useful in the gamma energy range from 80 to 140 keV. This indicates that the newly doped textile material may be considered for radiation protection in the case of low-energy gamma rays .Öğe Computational studies on the anastrozole and letrozole, effective chemotherapy drugs against breast cancer(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014) Akcay, Hakki Turker; Bayrak, RizaIn this paper, computational studies were carried out on anastrozole and letrozole, chemotherapy drugs used against breast cancer. Optimization and frequency calculations were performed at B3LYP/6-31G (d) basis set and vibrational frequencies were assignment. Single point calculations were performed at DFT method with a hybrid functional B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) basis set. Theoretical NMR data were obtained at DFT method with a hybrid functional B3LYP/6-311G++ (2d, p) with GIAO (Gauge-Independent Atomic Orbital). IEF-PCM method was used as solvation model. NBO calculations were performed by the same basis set and calculation method with single point calculation. Global and localized reactivity parameters; fukui indices (f) chemical hardness (eta) softness (S), chemical potential (mu), electronegativity (chi) and electrophilicity index (omega) were calculated.

Electrochemical properties of these complexes were determined with voltammetric and in situ spectroelectrochemical measurements. CuPc has redox inactive Cu2+ center, therefore it gave three Pc based reduction and two Pc based oxidation processes. TiOPc and FePc complexes gave metal based redox processes in addition to Pc based redox reactions due to the redox activity of Ti4+O and Fe2+ metal centers. Although FePc also gave three reduction and two oxidation reactions, peak potentials of these processes are different than those of CuPc due to the different assignments of the redox reactions. TiOPc went to five reduction and one oxidation reactions. Assignments of the redox processes were carried out with in situ spectroelectrochemical measurements. Spectra and color of the electrogenerated redox species of the complexes were also determined with in situ spectroelectrochemical and in situ electrocolorimetric measurements. Distinct color differences between the electrogenerated redox species were observed, which indicated their possible electrochromic usages. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

This novel compounds were characterized by obtained data from general spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and mass. The photophysical and photochemical properties of these phthalocyanines were investigated in N,N-dimethylformamide solutions for determination of their photosensitizing abilities in photocatalytic applications such as photodynamic therapy. The lead(II) phthalocyanine complex did not produce any fluorescent in N,N-dimethylformamide because of the heavy atom effect of bigger lead atom. The fluorescence quantum yields of studied zinc(II) and metal-free phthalocyanines were found to quite higher than unsubstituted zinc(II) phthalocyanine due to substitution of the phthalocyanine skeleton. The influence of substituent and variety of the central metal ions on spectroscopic, photophysical and photochemical properties were also determined and compared. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

These derivatives are completely new, synthesis and characterization studies are first time reported. Four derivatives which have peripheral or non-peripheral substitution on macrocyclic ring were produced and characterized employing various spectroscopic methods. CuPc were immobilized on TiO2 nanoparticles to obtain dye sensitized photoactive nanocomposites (1% of the mass of TiO2). Prepared composites were characterized by SEM, EDX, UV-vis, DRS and XRD analysis. Results revealed that the composites possess anatase structure and phthalocyanine loading on TiO2 exposes strong visible light absorption. Photocatalytic activities of the produced composite materials were tested for reduction of Cr(VI) as a model pollutant and its disinfection properties were investigated using Escherichia coli as a model microorganism employing a near visible UV-A light (365 nm) source. All composite materials exhibited much more photocatalytic activity than bare TiO2 for both pollutants. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Aggregation-concentration relations of the compounds 3(a-d) were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Fluorescence quenching properties of the phthalocyanines 3(a-d) were studied and fluorescence quantum yields were calculated by comparative method. Photodegradation quantum yields of the compound 3(a-d) were calculated. In addition, singlet oxygen quantum yields of the compounds 3(a-d) were measured by comparative method by using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as singlet oxygen quencher. In this work, it has been observed that the synthesized novel phthalocyanines have higher quantum yield values (the range of 0.8-0.85) compared to the Zn (II) complex of unsubstituted phthalocyanine (0.67). Especially the compound 3d substituted tolyl group has the highest singlet oxygen quantum yield (0.85) seen rarely in literature.Öğe Peripherally and non-peripherally tetra-benzothiazole substituted metal-free zinc (II) and lead (II) phthalocyanines: Synthesis, characterization, and investigation of photophysical and photochemical properties(Elsevier, 2017) Demirbas, Umit; Gol, Cem; Barut, Burak; Bayrak, Riza; Durmus, Mahmut; Kantekin, Halit; Degirmencioglu, IsmailIn this study, novel phthalonitrile compounds bearing 2-methylbenzofdlthiazol-5-yloxy groups (4 and 5) and their peripherally and non-peripherally tetra-substituted metal-free (6 and 7), zinc (II) (8 and 9), and lead (II) (10 and 11) phthalocyanine derivatives were synthesized and characterized for the first time. These novel compounds showed extremely good solubility in most common organic solvents. The novel phthalocyanine compounds presented excellent results from photophysical and photochemical examinations in DMF solution. Especially, the singlet oxygen quantum yield (Phi(Delta)) values of the substituted zinc (II) phthalocyanines indicate that these compounds have significant potential as photosensitizers in cancer treatment by the photodynamic therapy (PDT) technique. The fluorescence quenching behaviour of these novel phthalocyanine compounds by 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) was also examined in DMF solution. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

These derivatives are completely new and first time reported. Four derivatives at peripheral or non-peripheral substitution on macro cyclic ring were synthesized and characterized employing various spectroscopic methods. H2Pc derivatives (defined as H2Pc-1, H2Pc-2, H2Pc-3, H2Pc-4) were immobilized on TiO2 nanoparticles to obtain photoactive nanocomposites (H2Pc/TiO2, 1% of the mass of TiO2). H2Pc derivatives were used as photosensitizer to improve the near visible-light photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2 catalyst in wastewater treatment. Photocatalytic abilities nanocomposites were tested for photocatalytic reduction of chromium (VI) ions (10 mg/L) and compared with neat TiO2. A near UV light source (365 nm) was used for illumination in a batch reactor and Cr(VI) concentration was monitored during 150 min treatment period. It is clear that H2Pc sensitized photocatalyst is effective for the reduction of chromium ions. Removal percentages were between 83.70 and 99.75% indicating almost total reduction of toxic Cr(VI) ions. Neat TiO2 was able to reduce only 55.43% of initial Cr(VI) ions. All phthalocyanine containing TiO2 composites are significantly more effective and reduce more Cr(VI) ions than TiO2 itself. Photocatalytic action of the catalysts is decreased in the following order H2Pc-4/TiO2 > H2Pc-2/TiO2 > H2Pc-1/TiO2 > H2Pc-3/TiO2. (C) 2016 The Institution of Chemical Engineers.

The solubilities of these novel phthalocyanines were high in organic solvents. The redox properties of the compounds have been researched by cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, controlled-potential coulometry and in situ spectroelectrochemistry in dimethylsulfoxide. The compounds displayed metal and/or phthalocyanine ring-based, generally reversible or quasi-reversible reduction and oxidation processes. The effect of aggregation on the redox behavior of these complexes was also discussed. In general, decreased intensity and broadening in the main Q absorption band and the appearance of a new blue-shifted band confirmed the presence of H-type aggregates in the solutions of the complexes 4, 6 and 8 in DMSO/TBAP. The color changes associated with the redox processes and electrogenerated anionic and cationic redox species were also recorded with in situ electrocolorimetric measurements. In situ UV-vis spectral and associated color changes monitored during the reduction processes of the complexes suggested their applicability in the fields of the electrochemical technologies.Öğe Substituted phthalocyanines and their electropolymerization properties(Elsevier Science Sa, 2016) Bayrak, Riza; Akcay, Hakki Turker; Biyiklioglu, Zekeriya; Degirmencioglu, IsmailIn this study, new metal-free and metallo-phthalocyanine complexes (Co, TiO) were synthesized using a piperazine-substituted phthalonitrile derivative. All proposed structures were supported by instrumental methods. Electrochemical studies of H-2-Pc, (TiOPc)-O-IV, and (COPc)-Pc-II were examined using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) techniques. Voltammetric analyses of phthalocyanines supported the proposed structure of the synthesized complexes.

The electron transfer capability of new metallophthalocyanines (ZnPcs, CoPcs and MnPcs) was investigated in detail via cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV) and in situ UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry. For ZnPcs, these experiments demonstrated that the complexes exhibited three well-defined reductions and two oxidations waves based on the Pc ring electroinactive nature of the Zn metal coordinated to the macrocycle. For CoPcs showed three reductions and one oxidation based on both the Pc ring and electroactive nature of Co center. Furthermore, MnPcs displayed three well-defined reductions and two oxidations waves based on either the Pc ring or electroactive Mn center. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

(CoPc)-Pc-II illustrated [(CoPc-2)-Pc-II]/[(CoPc-2)-Pc-I](1-), [(CoPc-2)-Pc-I](1-)/[(CoPc-3)-Pc-I](2-), [(CoPc-3)-Pc-I](2-)/[(CoPc-4)-Pc-I](3-) and [(CoPc-2)-Pc-II]/[(CoPc-2)-Pc-II](1+) redox couples respectively during reduction and oxidation processes respectively. Position of the substituents altered the chemical and electrochemical reversibility of the redox processes. While the substituents were non-peripheral position, the complexes aggregated and both of the redox processes of the aggregated and nonaggregated species were observed, incorporation of the substituents to peripheral position decreased aggregations of the complexes, therefore MPcs substituted at peripheral positions illustrated well resolved reversible redox reactions.
