Preparation of Copper Salt of Para-amino Benzoic Acid Supported on Graphene Oxide as a Nanocatalyst and its Application in Some Organic Reactions
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mahmoodi Hashemi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to prepare a catalyst for copper nanoparticles that can be used in C-H activation processes in order to increase copper salt catalytic processes by converting it into a catalyst with characteristics of having recovery cycles, convenient separation and environmental friendliness and being in nano size. Consequently, copper nanoparticles are directly grafted onto graphene oxide, or using para-aminobenzoic acid grafted on graphene oxide. A copper nanoparticle catalyst was used in the reaction to activate the C(sp2)-H bonds of benzoxazole molecule and C-N bonds formation with secendary amines. Using the results of transition electron microscopy (TEM), scanning...
Preparation of Cobalt and Manganese Salts of Para-amino Benzoic Acid Supported on Graphene Oxide as an Oxidative Nanocatalysts
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mahmoodi Hashemi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis, a heterogeneous nanocatalyst based on graphene oxide was synthesized. To improve the graphene oxide, it was reacted with paraaminobenzoic acid and then metal salts (cobalt and manganese) were coated on it. The structure of the catalyst was confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), quantitative X-ray diffraction (EDS) and infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Finally, the catalytic properties of the catalysts were evaluated in the oxidation reaction of different alcohols in the presence of oxygen. In the presence of benzyl alcohols with lethal electron groups, the oxidation conditions are stricter and the reaction efficiency is lower....

Abstract
In this work, the adsorption of benzoic acid (BA) over metal organic framework of chromium-benzenedicarboxylates (MIL-101) is reported for the first time. The influences of pH, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature of BA solution on the adsorption behavior were investigated. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm was adequate to represent the experimental data (R2 > 0.99) and the adsorption kinetics was well-represented by a pseudo-second order kinetic model (R2 > 0.96). The zeta potential of MIL-101 decreased with increasing pH confirming the importance of electrostatic interactions between MIL-101 and BA as well as the importance of the large pore volume (1.32 m3/g) and large...

Abstract
Palladium nanocatalysts supported on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and rGO/CNT composite were synthesized by a wet impregnation method using PdCl2 as a precursor. Palladium loading was 0.3 wt %, and the catalysts were reduced at 300°C. The catalysts were characterized by inductively coupled plasma, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, temperatue-programmed reduction, temperatue-programmed desorption, and Raman spectroscopy. The performance of the catalysts was investigated for hydro-purification of crude terephthalic acid (CTA) containing...

Abstract
Conformational diseases, constituting a large number of diseases, have been connected with protein misfolding, leading to aggregation known as amyloid fibrils. Mainly due to the lack of detailed molecular mechanisms, there has not been an effective drug to combat amyloid-associated diseases. Recently, a small organic pyridazine-based molecule (RS-0406) has shown significant reductions in amyloid fibrils in both in vitro and in vivo animal studies. However, no information on molecular details of inhibition for the small molecule has been reported. In this work, we have decided to explore structure-activity relationship of pyridazine-based compounds to investigate structural parameters for...

Abstract
This study aims to elucidate the impact of salinity on the interactions governing the adsorption of polar aromatic oil compounds onto calcite. To this end, molecular dynamics simulations were employed to assess adsorption of a model polar organic molecule (deprotonated benzoic acid, benzoate) on the calcite surface in NaCl brines of different concentration levels, namely, deionized water (DW), low-salinity water (LS, 5000 ppm), and sea water (SW; 45,000 ppm). Calcite was found to be completely covered by several well-ordered water layers. The top hydration layer is very compact and prevents direct adsorption of benzoates onto the substrate. Instead, Na+ ions form a distinct positively...

Abstract
Wastewater of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) from a petrochemical plant was examined in a membrane-less single chamber microbial fuel cell for the first time. Time course of voltage during the cell operation cycle had two steady phases, which refers to the fact that metabolism of microorganisms was shifted from highly to less biodegradable carbon sources. The produced power density was 31.8 mW m-2 (normalized per cathode area) and the calculated coulombic efficiency was 2.05 % for a COD removal of 74 % during 21 days. The total removal rate of different pollutants in the PTA wastewater was observed in the following order: (acetic acid) > (benzoic acid) > (phthalic acid) > (terephthalic...

Abstract
Aims: The metabolism of phenanthrene and anthracene by a moderate thermophilic Nocardia otitidiscaviarum strain TSH1 was examined. Methods and Results: When strain TSH1 was grown in the presence of anthracene, four metabolites were identified as 1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydroanthracene, 3-(2-carboxyvinyl)naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid, 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene and benzoic acid using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Degradation studies with phenanthrene revealed 2,2′-diphenic acid, phthalic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, benzoic acid, a phenanthrene...

Abstract
The thermophilic bacterium Nocardia otitidiscaviarum strain TSH1, originally isolated in our laboratory from a petroindustrial wastewater contaminated soil in Iran, grows at 50 °C on a broad range of hydrocarbons. Transformation of naphthalene by strain TSH1 which is able to use this two ring-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) as a sole source of carbon and energy was investigated. The metabolic pathway was elucidated by identifying metabolites, biotransformation studies and monitoring enzyme activities in cell-free extracts. The identification of metabolites suggests that strain TSH1 initiates its attack on naphthalene by dioxygenation at its C-1 and C-2 positions to give...
Conversion of a weak organic acid to a super acid in the gas phase

Abstract
The effects of selected metal ions on the gas-phase acidity of weak organic acids have been explored using the DFT and Moller-Plesset Perturbation Theory (MP2) calculations. The three organic acids selected for this study were acetic acid (aliphatic), benzoic acid (aromatic), and glycine (amino acid). The acidities of these compounds are compared with the acidity of their Li +-, Na+-, and K+ -complexed species. The results indicate that upon complexation with Li+, Na+, and K+ at 298K, the gas-phase acidity of acetic acid, for example, varies from 345.3 to 218.8, 230.2, and 240.1 kcal/mol, respectively (i.e., its dissociation becomes much less endothermic). These values indicate that a weak...
Quantitative structure - Mobility relationship study of a diverse set of organic acids using classification and regression trees and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems

Abstract
A quantitative structure-mobility relationship was developed to accurately predict the electrophoretic mobility of organic acids. The absolute electrophoretic mobilities (μ0) of a diverse dataset consisting of 115 carboxylic and sulfonic acids were investigated. A set of 1195 zero- to three-dimensional descriptors representing various structural characteristics was calculated for each molecule in the dataset. Classification and regression trees were successfully used as a descriptor selection method. Four descriptors were selected and used as inputs for adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. The root mean square errors for the calibration and prediction sets are 1.61 and 2.27, respectively,...
