Article Tuning Pore Chemistry in Dioxin-Linked Porous Organic Polymers for Enhanced High-Pressure CO2 Uptake(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) Büyükçakır, Onur; Piech, K.; Büyükcakir, O.; Yildirim, T.; Coskun, A.; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyPrecise tuning of pore chemistry in three-dimensional porous organic polymers (3D-POPs) is critical for high-performance gas (CO<inf>2</inf>)-separation. Here, we demonstrate the impact of functional groups on the dioxin-linked 3D-tPOPs bearing a tetraphenylene core, synthesized under solvothermal conditions using NaCl as a template, on the low- and high-pressure CO<inf>2</inf> uptake. The post-synthetic amidoxime functionalization of 3D-tPOPs, involving the reaction of pendant nitrile moieties with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, has been shown to precisely tailor pore chemistry without altering the network structure. Whereas the incorporation of the amidoxime moieties, 3D-tPOP-AO, enables higher heteroatom content, a critical factor to enhance CO<inf>2</inf> affinity at low pressures, strong hydrogen bonding interactions between amidoxime units limit framework flexibility, thus leading to a significant decrease in the high-pressure gas uptake. 3D-tPOPs on the other hand showed a high CO<inf>2</inf> uptake capacity of 57.4 wt% at 33 bar and 270 K; after modification, CO<inf>2</inf> uptake capacity decreased to 19.4 wt% at 273 K and 34 bar. Similarly, CH<inf>4</inf> uptake capacity also decreased from 14.0 wt% at 116 bar and 270 K to 3.8 wt% at 75 bar and 273 K. These findings highlight the critical role of the interactions between functional groups and pore chemistry to form robust adsorbents with high CO<inf>2</inf> uptake performance at high pressures. © 2025 The Author(s).

Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe search for novel therapeutic agents has led to increasing interest in natural products, driven by the recognition that they may offer safer and more sustainable alternatives to synthetic drugs. This study aims to fill the gap in knowledge regarding the biological activity and safety of the water extract of chestnut (Castanea mollissima) (chestnut), a plant species with a long history of use in traditional medicine, by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of its antioxidant, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective properties. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the water extract of chestnut for the first time using various bioanalytical antioxidant methods. The extract's inhibitory effects on key enzymes like acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and alpha-glycosidase were evaluated due to their relevance in metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders such as diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Developmental toxicity and cytotoxicity were assessed using zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos to evaluate the extract's biological safety. The major phenolic compounds present in the extract were identified by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS), revealing catechin, gallic acid, taxifolin, and epicatechin as the predominant constituents. Antioxidant capacity was determined through radical scavenging assays using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH center dot) and 2,2 '-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS center dot+), alongside ferric (Fe3+), cupric (Cu2+), and Fe3+-TPTZ (ferric-tripyridyltriazine) reducing power assays. The findings highlight the significant antioxidant, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective potential of the chestnut water extract, supporting its prospective use in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Gate-Controlled Photoresponse in an Individual Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Modified With a Fluorescent Protein(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) Kudriavtseva, A.S.; Nekrasov, N.P.; Krasnikov, D.V.; Nasibulin, A.G.; Bogdanov, A.M.; Bobrinetskiy, I.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyBionanohybrids of carbon nanotubes and fluorescent proteins (FPs) are a promising class of materials for optoelectronic applications. Understanding and controlling the charge transport mechanism between FPs and carbon nanotubes are critical to achieving functional reproducibility and exploring novel synergetic effects. This work demonstrates a novel phenomenon of photocurrent generation in field-effect transistors based on the conjugation of an individual single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and FPs. When studying the effect of gate voltage on the photoresponse, reversible switching from fast positive to a slow negative photoresponse in bionanohybrids associated with depletion and accumulation modes, respectively is observed. The latter demonstrates a stable memory effect after the light is turned off. It is revealed that in depletion mode, the charge carriers from the protein are not trapped at the interface due to effective screening by the gate potential. It is suggested that the main mechanism in photoresponse switching is a competitive effect between photogating and effective photodoping of the SWCNT by charges trapped at the nanotube interface. The noticeable effect of water molecules can support proton transfer as the main mechanism of charge transfer. This result illustrates that SWCNT/FP bionanohybrids bear great potential for the realization of novel optoelectronic devices. © 2024 The Author(s).
