    Dublin and Istanbul: the Two Formative Forces in the Fiction of James Joyce and Orhan Pamuk
    (Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2015) Tekin, Kugu
    This comparative article explores how James Joyce and Orhan Pamuk approach and reflect upon their native cities in their works entitled Dubliners and Istanbul Memories and the City. The article puts particular emphasis on the two authors' parallel as well as different ways of representing Dublin and Istanbul. One of the most noteworthy similarities between Joyce and Pamuk is their preference for contemplating their birthplaces from outside as both authors have gone to a self-imposed exile. To a large extent, the said exile in the case of both authors is occasioned by a strong conviction that a double perspective-that of a native and that of a foreigner-is crucial for drawing an authentic picture of their cities. The article examines this double perspective as a parallactic structure. Parallax serves as a conceptual tool in understanding the two authors' manipulations of space and time in their writings. Where the two authors differ are the particular sentiments they entertain for their native cities. While a strong sense of hatred towards Dublin and Dublin life prevails in Dubliners, Pamuk's relationship with his city is defined by a deep love in Istanbul Memories and the City. And, it is these two contrasting emotional responses, namely hatred and love, that form the respective concepts of cityscape in the fiction of James Joyce and Orhan Pamuk.

    Spectroelectrochemical Investigation of Pentacarbonyl(pyrazine)metal(0) (metal = Cr, Mo, W) Complexes of Group 6 Elements
    (Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2002) Yaman, SO; Esentürk, E; Kayran, C; Önal, AM
    The electrochemical behaviour of pentacarbony l(pyrazine) metal (0) complexes of the group 6 elements was studied by cyclic voltammetry in dichloromethane-(n-Bu)(4)NBF4 solvent-electrolyte couple at -20 degreesC vs. Ag/Ag+ or SCE reference electrode. Constant potential electrolyses of the complexes were carried out at their first oxidation peak potentials and monitored in situ by UV-Vis spectrometry. Electrolysis of W(CO)(5)pz produces [W(CO)(5)pz](+) and a similar electrochemical mechanism is expected both for Cr(CO)(5)pz and Mo(CO)(5)pz complexes. In situ low temperature constant current ESR electrolysis also confirmed the production of [W(CO)(5)pz](+) after the electron transfer.
