Mechanistic studies on aza-Nazarov reactions and development of template-directed photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition reactions
(Bilkent University, 2021-01)
As a sub-class of Nazarov reactions, the aza-Nazarov reactions, which have remarkable importance due to their use in the synthesis of five-ring nitrogen containing structures, are rarely studied. For the first time in the ...
The effect of temperature on the formation of liesegang patterns of copper(II) chromate in polyacrylamide gels
(Bilkent University, 2020-09)
Liesegang patterns (LPs) are a subclass of periodic precipitation patterns that result
in a reaction-diffusion (RD) without convection. Since their discovery, LPs have
been studied to understand the effect of different ...
Core-crown quantum-well nanoplatelet functionalized TIO2 for photocatalytic NOx abatement
(Bilkent University, 2020-07)
