A chromogenic dioxetane chemosensor for hydrogen sulfide and pH dependent off-on chemiluminescence property
(Elsevier, 2014) Turan, I. S.; Sozmen, F.
In this paper, a rapid and highly selective chromogenic naked eye detection of hydrogen sulfide was achieved by a 1,2-dioxetane based chemiluminescent probe in aqueous media at pH 7.4. Chemiluminescence property of the probe can be modulated depending on the pH value of medium.

Energy transfer, photosensitization and sensing with novel bodipy compounds and their supramolecular assemblies
(2017-06) Yeşilgül, Nisa
Fluorescent dyes have been used for decades in many applications due to their versatility, sensitivity and many other useful properties. Since their discovery in 1968, BODIPY dyes have come forward and have been used in many fields of research such as photodynamic therapy, anion/cation sensing, dye-sensitized solar cells. In this thesis, novel applications of fluorescent dyes, mainly based on BODIPY fluorophores are reported. In the first project, a photosensitizer derived from erythrosine attached to a luminol derivative is presented. The main purpose was to achieve photosensitization without requiring external excitation with light. In another project, we synthesized and characterized a series of heavy atom substituted BODIPY based photosensitizers. In a related study, the photophysical properties of a BODIPY based chemosensor substituted with benzo-21-crown-7 units were studied in the presence of various -diamino alkanes. Then, we designed a BODIPY based probe sensitive to bioreductive conditions known to be prevalent in hypoxic cancer cells. In the final chapter, we present a mechanically interlocked energy transfer cassette consisted of a distyryl-BODIPY acceptor and two donor units.

Self immolative dioxetane based chemiluminescent probe for H2O2 detection
(Elsevier, 2017) Seven, O.; Sozmen, F.; Simsek Turan, I.
Chemiluminescent detection of H2O2 has been achieved by using self immolative dioxetane based probe which enables the signal amplification via disassembly of two chemiluminogenic modules at the same time in response to single analyte. Upon treatment of the probe with H2O2, boronate ester was deprotected subsequently to trigger the decomposition of 1,2-dioxetane ring via CIEEL mechanism which results in light emission as a selective sign of H2O2. ï¿½ 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Sensing and sensitizer activation by biological thiols and 1,2-dioxetanes based chemiluminescence probes
(2014) Turan, İlke Şimşek
Biologically important biothiols like Cystein (Cys), Homocystein (Hcy) and Glutathione (GSH) are vital for the maintenance of cellular redox status and alterations in their levels is linked to a number of severe diseases such as AIDS, cancer and Alzheimer‟s therefore the design and synthesis of nitroolefin functionalized bodipy dyes responding to biological thiols by both absorbance and emission changes have been accomplished. Through the incorporation of hydrophilic groups, bright signaling of biothiols in the longer wavelength region of the visible spectrum is deemed to operate in biological environment. With this knowledge, bioconjugation of the nitroolefin functionalized dyes with thiol groups like those belonging to cysteine residues on proteins has been proved via large spectral changes and targeted to visualize dynamics of proteins, cell-cell interactions, mechanisms of life cycles of proteins. Hence, the result suggests that nitroolefin functionalization of BODIPY dyes is a promising way to sense biological thiols and hence labeling proteins having thiol groups. Since GSH plays vital roles in the oxidative stress exists within the cells and thus, high concentration of it is the indication of cancer development, design and synthesis of cancer related parameter based activation of bodipy based photosensitizers have been achieved to enhance spatiotemporal selectivity in photonic sensitization of dissolved molecular oxygen and thus, improves the potential and practice of photodynamic therapy and their effectiveness are validated by cell culture studies. Chemiluminescence in principle can provide a rapid, qualitative and/or quantitative test for analytes of interest; because of that synthesis of novel probes for the sensing of biologically important (fluoride) anion have been devised to combine the power of chemiluminescence and self immolative amplifiers which offers a chemical avenue for enhancing the signal produced in response to a given analyte. Through the development of chemiluminogenic perspective for sensing of palladium ions, rapid and selective response of probe to palladium ions with regardless of their charge in aqueous environment have been accomplished. Considering the convenience of the methods and substantial results, we are confident that other probes combining the power of chemiluminescence will emerge.
