Self‐assembled layers were formed using the compound of 4‐(2‐aminophenylthio)‐5‐(5‐mercaptopentylthio) phthalo‐nitrile (AMPN) to protect the copper surface from chloride corrosion. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques were used to examine the interaction of self‐assembled layers with the copper surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization and linear polarization resistance methods were used in 3.5% NaCl solution to investigate the effect of self‐assembled layers on copper corrosion. The results show that the optimum waiting time for the layer formed on the copper surface is 8 hours and the AMPN concentration is 15 mM. The AMPN‐self assembled film on the copper surface exhibited a maximum of 98.7% inhibition.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possible links between macroeconomic factors and financial distress in Turkey. Design/methodology/approach Based on the 2009/1-2016/2 quarterly data of macroeconomic factors and the number of filings for bankruptcy postponement, econometric models are developed using forward stepwise regression and classical regression methods to determine the factors influencing financial distress. A vector error correction model is also developed using macroeconomic factors found significant in both methods to investigate the interactions of financial distress with them. Findings In the stepwise regression implementation, performed with 16 independent variables, statistically significant variables entered into the model are industrial production index with negative sign as expected and the unemployment rate with negative sign against the expectations. In the classical regression implementation, performed with 7 independent variables, statistically significant variables are ex ante real interest rate with positive sign and gross domestic product with negative sign as expected and money supply with negative sign against the expectations. The impulse response graphics of a vector error correction model involving bankruptcy postponement, industrial production index and nominal interest rate indicates that bankruptcy postponement is influenced by the shocks both in itself and in industrial production index. Originality/value This is the first study in Turkey investigates macroeconomic determinants of financial distress.

İflasın ertelenmesi, Türk Ticaret Kanunu'nun 376-377. maddeleri ile İcra ve İflas Kanunu'nun 179. maddesinde düzenlenmiştir. Erteleme; "borca batık" sermaye şirketinin sunacağı "iyileştirme projesi"nin mahkemece inandırıcı bulunması durumunda, kayyım yönetiminde, şirketin finansal durumunun düzeltilerek iflastan kurtarılması için geliştirilmiş bir yasal çözüm sürecidir. Bu çalışma, 2009-2013 döneminde Türkiye'de açılan iflasın ertelenmesi davalarının profilinin belirlenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Bu dönemde 2.712 dava açılmış ve bunların 1.921'i sonuçlanmıştır. Davalar ortalama 285 günde sonuçlanmış, % 30'unda erteleme kabul edilmiş, % 48'inde reddedilmiştir.
