    Radioisotope Excited X Ray Fluorescence Analysis of Ashes From Coal Power Plants of Turkey
    (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998-01) Başsarı, A.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127
    Fifteen ash samples taken from filters and bottom products of boilers or chimneys of seven coal fired power plants in Turkey have been analysed quantitatively for some minor elements using radioisotope energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF). It is found that samples contain Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Zr, Mo, Cs, Sb, Ba, Pb, Y, La, Ce, Nd and Sm in different amounts. An ash sample taken from the electro-filter of the Ambarli, fuel oil fired-power plant was also analysed for comparison and found that it contained the smallest amount of potentially toxic elements.

    Fluorescence Spectra of Salt Solutions of Coumarin Crown Ethers
    (Taylor and Francis Online, 1995) Bulut, Mustafa; Göçmen, Ayten; Erk, Clakil; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; 10127; 205874
    The fluorescence spectra of the coumarin derivatives of crown ethers obtained from 7,8-dihydroxycoumarins were studied in the presence of some alkali and alkaline earth cations in acetonitrile. The altered fluorescence spectra were examined qualitatively from the point of enhancement of fluorescent quantum yields as well as a resonance. Heavy metal effects were eliminated since there is no influence of the metal salts on the spectra of the initial coumarin derivatives. However, both the complexation-enhanced fluorescence and complexation-enhanced quenching spectra is observed in the fluorescence emission and excitation spectra of macrocyclic ether-coumarin / metal salt systems. The origin of results are briefly discussed in terms of crown ether complexation. In water solutions almost no such effects were observed.

    The FT IR and laser Raman Spectral Investigation of 4 4 Bipyridily Transition Metal II Tetracyanonickelate Clathrates
    (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996-03) Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127
    The FT-IR and Raman spectra are reported of M(4,4′-bipyridyl)Ni(CN)4·nG (where M = Mn, Fe, Co, Cu or Zn and G = benzene or aniline;n = 0–2) clathrates. The host structure consists of a three-dimensional rigid lattice formed by infinite polymeric layers of {M-Ni(CN)4}∞ and 4,4′-bipyridyl bridges between the metal (M) atoms of the adjacent polymeric layers. Bidentate 4,4′-bipyridyl molecules are found to be centrosymmetric in the structure.

    Temperature Dependent FT IR Spectroscopic Study of The Interaction of alfa Tocopherol and alfa Tocopheryl Acetate with Phospholipid bilayers
    (Elsevier, 1997-08-11) Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; 10127
    FTIR spectroscopy has been employed in order to investigate α-tocopherol (α-T) and α-tocopheryl acetate (α-TA) induced effects on the molecular organization of dimyristoyl-l-α-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayers, at various temperatures and concentrations. It was concluded that α-T interacts much more strongly than α-TA, indicating that α-T has a more polar location in the membrane than α-TA. The observed changes in the carbonyl and phosphate group vibrational modes of DMPC on addition of α-T or α-TA are discussed

    FT IR EDXRF and gamma Isotopic Analyses of Ashes from Coal Fired Power Plants of Turkey
    (Taylor and Francis Online, 1996) Varinlioğlu, Ahmet; Köse, Abdullah; Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127
    Nine ash samples collected from five coal fired power plants of Turkey have been analysed by FT-IR, EDXRF and γ -isotopic analyses methods. IR spectroscopy together with mineralogical analysis is found to be a useful method for investigating the inorganic chemical composition of the ashes which is an inherently variable material due to differences in the inorganic chemical composition of the source coal and in ash collection. Gamma-isotopic analysis indicated that all samples contained Ra-226, U-238 and Th-232. On the other hand Cs-137 (16.3 pCi/g) was found only in the ash sample collected from the Yatağan coal fired power plant. An ash sample taken from the electro-filter of the Ambarli, a fuel oil fired-power plant of Turkey, was also analysed for comparision and found that it contained least amount of U-238.

    FT IR and FT Raman Spectral Investigations of Anatolian Attapulgite and its Interaction with4 4 Bipyridyl
    (Elsevier, 1995-04-01) Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 10127
    The adsorption of 4,4′-bipyridyl by natural attapulgite from Anatolia (Turkey) has been studied using vibrational spectroscopy. Investigations of Fourier-transform infrared and Fourier-transform Raman spectra of adsorbed 4,4′-bipyridyl indicate the presence of physical and chemical sorbed surface species. No anionic surface species has been observed. It is proposed that chemisorbed 4,4′-bipyridyl molecules are coordinated to either Lewis acidic centers or surface hydroxyls as monodentate ligands.

    A Vibrational Spectroscopic Study of the Adsorption of 4 4 Bipyridiyl by Smectite Group Clay Minerals From Anatolia Turkey
    (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1993-06) Davies, J. Eric D.; AKYÜZ, SEVİM; AKYÜZ, ZEKİ TANIL; 1012
    The adsorption of 4,4′-bipyridyl by natural sepiolite and smectite group clay minerals (bentonite, hectorite and saponite) from Anatolia (Turkey) has been studied using vibrational spectroscopy. Investigation of Fourier-transform infrared and Fourier-transform Raman spectra of adsorbed 4,4′-bipyridyl indicate the presence of chemisorbed species. However, any evidence for the generation of anionic species on the surface of the phyllosilicates has not been detected. It is proposed that the adsorbed bipyridyl molecules on sepiolite are centrosymmetric and H-bonded to the surface hydroxyls through both the nitrogen lone pairs as bidentate ligands. The adsorbed bipyridyl molecules on the smectite group clays are coordinated to exchangeable cations both directly and also indirectly through water as monodentate ligands. XRD patterns of the clays studied are also recorded.

    An Infrared and Raman Spectroscopic Study of Metal II Di 2 Methylpyridine Tetracyanonickelate Complexes
    (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1985-12) AKYÜZ, SEVİM; 10127
    The results of an infrared and Raman spectroscopic study are reported for two new metal 2-methylpyridine tetracyanonickelate complexes, M(C6H7N)2Ni(CN)4, M=Ni or Cd. Their structure consists of corrugated polymeric layers of {M-Ni(CN)4}∞ with 2-methylpyridine molecules bound directly to the metal (M). These complexes can act as host lattices in the formation of inclusion compounds with dioxane guest molecules.
