    Thermal and Photodehydrogenation Reactions of Terpenes Over Zeolites
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2003) Tuzcuoğlu, Esra; Artok, Levent; Artok, Levent; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this thesis study, catalytic activity of cation exchanged (Na+, Li+, Ca2+, K+, Cs+) zeolite Y, especially NaY, and various microporous and mesoporous (Na exchanged, Beta, Mordenite, and NaX, CsNaX, MCM-41, Montmorillonite KSF and amorphous Silica) catalysts was investigated in the dehydrogenation reaction of terpenes to p-cymene.The results suggested that, there are two types of acid sites are present in cation exchanged zeolites from NH4Y, which are Br Bronsted and Lewis sites. a-terpinene, disproportionated by Br Bronsted acid catalysis into 3-p-menthene and p-cymene, and pcymene was also formed by direct dehydrogenation of a-terpinene can possibly occur with the participation of Lewis acid sites in cation exchanged zeolite Y. Best conversion to p-cymene were observed in the NaHY, LiHY and CaHY exchange from NH4Y that have relatively small cations, which more acidic than the larger ones.With the catalysts that have Bronsted acid sites except ion-exchanged zeolite Y, no conversion or only acid catalyzed isomerization reactions occur that shows the Bronsted acidity was not enough to catalyze the dehydrogenation of a-terpinene. Also Lewis acidic character and the structure morphology are the most important factors affecting the conversion. Lewis acidity is influenced from the cation and zeolite type.

    Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of Single Crystalline Ceo2 Nanoparticles for Catalytic Applications
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2012) Meşin, Taylan; Emirdağ Eanes, Mehtap; Eanes, Mehtap; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Single crystalline cerium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized with hydrothermal method by mixing cerium nitrate[Ce(NO3)3.6H2O] aqueous solution with alkali bases CsOH and RbOH. SEM, TEM and XRD characterization methods were used in order to identify morphology. First part of the study includes the work on effect of hydrothermal parameters, such as reaction temperature, reaction time, alkali base type and concentration on particle size and morphology. It was prooved that the size of ceria nanoparticles is directly proportional with the reaction time. The reaction temperature is also an important parameter that effect the morphology of nanoparticles. At 120 oC nanoparticles form rod like structure and as time goes they start to form cubic crystals. When the alkali base and concentration was changed the results showed that higher base concentration favors the particles to form bigger structures than that of lower concentrations. In addition, optical properties of CeO2 nanoparticles were studied by using the UV-Vis and Fluorescence Spectrometry. UV-Vis Spectroscopy results show that particle size of CeO2 nanoparticles synthesized in the presence of 8M RbOH are larger than that of synthesized in presence of 8M CsOH. When the reaction time decreases the Ce3+ defect increases based on the results of Fluorescence Spectrometry results. Second part of the study includes catalytic property of CeO2 nanoparticles. Ceria nanoparticles were used as catalyst in the synthesis of flavone from 2’-hydroxychalcone. Several reaction parameters were studied in order to achieve the flavone synthesis. TLC, GC, GC-MS and NMR were used in order to monitor the results of the reactios.

    Suzuki Reactions Over Palladium Loaded Y Zeolite
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2002) Bulut Güllübağ, Hatice; Artok, Levent; Artok, Levent; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this study, the use of Pd(II) loaded NaY type zeolite as a catalyst in the Suzukiinvestigated.For this aim, Pd(OAc)2, and [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2 complexes were loaded into NaY zeolite in order to form an appropriate catalyst system. Pd(NH3)42+ loaded Y type zeolite was calcined to obtain Pd(II) form Pd(OAc)2 loaded Y type zeolite showed high activity in the reactions of 4-iodoanisole and 4-bromoanisole with arylboronic acid. However the reusability which is an important property of heterogeneous catalyst could not be provided, the following studies were continued with Pd(II) loaded Y type zeolite.When, 4-iodo and 4-bromoanisole reactives were used in the presence of Pd(II) loaded Y type zeolite, 60-100% biaryl products were obtained. The amount and type of the base and DMF:H2O ratio have high effects on the yield. In order to prove that the reaction took place in heterogeneous phase, at the end of the reaction Pd analysis of the solution was performed by AAS technique. It was found that the Pd amount in solution was trace.
