Master Thesis Desing and Synthesis of Fluorescein Based Gold Ion Sensors(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Çetintaş, Ceyla; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; 04.04. Department of Photonics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyGold has been a part of people’s lives for ages and is used as money, goods and jewellery. In recent years, gold has played a key role in chemistry, medicine and biology. Since the 1970s, gold has been extensively used as a catalyst in several chemical transformations. Due to its high biocompatibility, functionalized gold nanoparticles have been extensively employed as drug and gene delivery systems, biosensors and bio-imaging materials. However, gold complexes can become toxic to the human body by interacting with biomolecules such as DNA and enzymes. Therefore, detection of trace amounts of gold species is an important issue and can be achieved via spectroscopic methods such as atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma spectrometry. However, these analytical methods require complicated sample preparation steps and sophisticated instrumentation. In contrast to these extremely expensive and time-consuming methods, fluorogenic or chromogenic methods, which provide high analyte sensitivity and selectivity, can serve as good alternatives for detecting gold species. To develop new probes for the detection of Au3+ ions, we focused on the design of new fluorescein-based probes that are soluble in aqueous media. We aimed to investigate the in vivo activity of these fluorescent probes. In the proposed detection system, gold ions are expected to mediate a chemical reaction through coordination to an alkyne moiety that results in a ring opening reaction to yield a highly fluorescent derivative.Master Thesis Investigation of the Reaction of Boron Oxide With Aluminium Powder and Method Development for Boron Determination in the Reaction Mixture(İzmir Institute of Technolog, 2007) Demirsar, Yelda; Özgen, İsmet Tamerkan; Özgen, Tamerkan; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, a cheap method for the synthesis of elemental boron by the reduction of boron oxide with aluminum was investigated. However after various optimization studies, detectable boron amounts could not be found in the reaction mixtures by XRD and SEM-EDX analysis. Meanly aluminum borates were formed as products and these products were leached by 6 M HCl, however removel of borates could not be achieved. We think that the reason of this outcome is that we worked with simple experimental setup, therefore could not achieving the suitable experiment conditions and because of this we failed in the sythesis of boron. In the second part of the study, a new method for the direct determination of boron was investigated. 96 %pure boron and KBr were mixed and analyzed with Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS). No distinct differences for boron was observed in the DRIFT spectra. Then, different sample compositions were prepared with different amounts of boron and KBr. These samples were split as validation and calibration sets and their spectra were collected by DRIFTS. All collected spectral data were processed in a different computer where the data proccessing programs were installed. The genetic inverse least square (GILS) method was used inorder to generate calibration model. Results obtained showed that boron amounts could be directly determined with maximum 3-4 % error. Afterwards, same procedure was also tried for boron and boron oxide binary mixtures and boron, boron oxide and aluminum ternary mixtures. In the binary mixture, determination of boron could be successfully achieved, however boron oxide determination could not be achieved as good as boron determination. In the ternary mixture, better results were obtained compared to binary mixture. Finally, the method was tried with the original samples, but not very satisfactory results were obtained. We think this result is due to the malfunction of FTIR instrument and personal error in the preparation of similar samples. More sample preparation and measurement could not be achieved because the FTIR instrument is not functioning at present.Master Thesis 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 TechnologyIn 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.
