During the homolytic reactions of $CCl_4$ or $Cl_3CBr with ${\beta}-halo^1$-styrenes,$\beta$-haloradicals are key intermediates. They are to be stabilized via three pathways; $\beta$-cleavage, halogen transfer and telomerization. The three reaction paths are delicately controlled by the energetics of their formation and stabilization. When the formation of a $\beta$-haloradical is accompanied by considerable excess of energy from an exothermic reaction, $\beta$ -cleavage is often dominant over the halogen transfer. On the other hand, if the radical forms via a reversible reaction, two processes become competitive. $\beta$-Eliminated bromine atoms from ${\beta}$ -bromoradicals generate $Br_2$ via $Cl_3CBr + {\cdot}Br {\leftrightarrow} Br_2 + {CCl_3}{\cdot}{Br_2}$ may act as a better scavenger than Cl3CBr for the ${\beta}$-bromoradicals. Different reactivities of chlorine, bromine and trichloromethyl radicals towards olefinic pi-bond are clarified in terms of the beat content of the addition reactions.

Solutions of $Ni^{2+}$ and $Cd^{2+}$ were mixed with the solutions of various dibasic organic acids in the presence of cation exchange resin at room temperature. The distribution ratios of the metal ions between resin and solution were measured, using radioactive metal ions as tracer. From the observed variation of the distribution ratios with acid anion concentrations, it was concluded that $Ni^{2+}$ and $Cd^{2+}$ formed one-to-one complexes with succinate, malonate, o-phthalate and tartarate ions in aqueous, 20 % ethanol-water and 20 % acetone-water solutions. The results of the present study indicated that the relative stabilities of the complexes in solution increased generally in the order : $Ni^{2+}$ < $Cd^{2+}$ complexes. Succinate < malonate < o-phthalate < tartarate complexes. Aqueous < mixed solvent systems.

Trichloromethylphosphonyl dichloride was prepared by the aluminium chloride method. We synthesized several heterocyclic compounds containing phosphorus atom by the stepwise esterification of trichloromethylphosphonyl dichloride with ethylene glycol, 2-mercaptoethanol, ethylene diamine, and 2-aminoethanol and the resulting heterocyclic compounds are 2-trichloromethyl-1,3,2-dioxa-, 2-trichloromethyl-1,3,2-thioxa-, 2-trichloromethyl-1,3,2-diaza-, 2-trichloromethyl-1,3,2-diaza-, and 2-trichloromethyl-1,3,2-oxazaphospholane-2-oxide. The best results were obtained in the solution of triethylamine as hydrochloric acid trapping agent. The structure of five-membered heterocyclic phosphonates were characterized by their IR, NMR, and elementary analysis and the mass spectra of the compounds were analyzed.

Semi-empirical MO calculations were performed to investigate stereochemical properties of sulfamoyl chlorides; $R_2NSO_2Cl$ Where R = H or $CH_3$. It was found that for all the molecules considered the most preferred conformation was the form in which $n_N-{\sigma}^*_{SIC}$ conjugative interaction is a maximum and the least favored conformation was the form in which steric repulsion is large due to eclipsing of Cl and R. In case of the molecule with no symmetry i.e., $CH_2NHSO_2Cl$, the stability was also dependent upon nonbonded interactions between the eclipsing groups.

Ultraviolet spectrophotometric investigations have been carried out the systems of monoalkylbenzene with iodine in carbon tetrachloride. The results reveal the formation of one to one molecular complexes. The equilibrium constants for these complexes of representative monosubstituted benzene reveal the following order of increasing stability: benzene < methyl- < ethyl- < n-propyl-benzene. The value of ${\Delta}H$, ${\Delta}G$, and ${\Delta}S$ for interaction of a number of monoalkyl substituted benzene with iodine has been determinated. In general, as ΛH becomes increasingly negative, corresponding decreases in ${\Delta}G$ and ${\Delta}S$ values are observed, and these variation are linear. The thermodynamic constants become increasingly negative with increasing monoalkyl substitution of the aromatic donor nucleus. The complex bond is therefore weak, and its formation is accompanied by relatively small entropy changes.

1,4,5,8-Tetraazaphenanthrene, a new tetraazaheteroaromatic compound, has been synthesized photochemically in 90 % yield and quantum yield of $5.1{\times}10^{-2}$ from dilute benzene solutions of 1,2-bispyrazyl ethylene(BPE) in the presence of oxygen as an oxidant. Iodine was not appropriate oxidant because of strong complexing with BPE and also enhanced intersystem crossing of BPE and thereby decreasing the photocyclization of BPE. Salt effect, solvent effect, and quenching and sensitization studies on the photocyclization of BPE have shown that ($^l(n, {\pi}^*$) is the reactive state for the cyclization in comparison to ($^1{\pi}, {\pi}^*$) state for the ordinary stilbene derivatives.

The electronic structure of photo-skinsensitizing psoralens has been investigated by the FMO method. On the basis of theoretical calculations, optimum value of indices (Ft=0.33) has been proposed which corresponds to the sum of frontier electron density. The results indicate that this index is closely correlated with photo-skinsensitizing carcinogenic activity. The formations of molecular complexes between DNA and photo-skinsensitizing carcinogens is discussed in terms of charge transfer interactions.
