The adsorption of methanethiol and benzenethiol on Ag(111) and Ag(100) surfaces is studied respectively, employing ASED (Atom Superposition and Electron Delocalization) method. Metal surfaces are modelled by 3-layer clusters. The corresponding thiolate anions are taken as adsorbates. The highly coordinated binding sites are most favored for both surfaces. The tilted angles of C-S axis from the surface normal are nearly zero. There's Charge transfer from adsorbate to substrate and the stretching frequency of C-S bond upon adsorption is blue-shifted from its gas phase counterpart, and its amount is the smallest at most highly coordinated site. FMO (Fragment Molecular Orbital) analysis of the system give the explanation for these results.

The photocycloaddition reaction of 8-methoxypsoralen with purine and/or pyrimidine bases is studied as a model for the charge transfer interactions of psoralens with DNA bases by the FMO method. The results indicate that, in the case of the molecular complex formation between psoralens and purine and/or pyrimidine bases, the most probable photocycloaddition should occur in the following order: Thy (5,6)<>(3,4) 8-MOP, Cyt(5,6)<>(3,4)8-MOP, Ade (7,8)<>(3,4)8-MOP, Gua(7,8)<>(3,4)8-MOP. The theoretical results for the photocycloaddition reaction are also correlated with the experimental results. The photoadducts between 8-methoxypsoralen and adenine are likely to be C4-cycloadducts through the cycloaddition of 3,4-pyrone double bond of 8-methoxypsoralen to 7,8-double bond of adenine.

The electronic structure of two dimensional layered compound, FeOCl, is studied with the band model and the cluster model approximation employing Extended-Huckel (EH) method. We examine the effects of intercalation (e.g., localization of transferred electron, conductivity increase). FeOCl has the electronic structure typical for layered compounds as expected. For FeOCl-$Li_{1/2}$ system, the charge transfer from Li to the FeOCl lattice occurs, and electrons are built up almost exclusively on Fe atoms. The partially filled band of FeOCl-$Li_{1/2}$ complex is responsible for the increase in conductivity.

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.

The steric effect on the first order hyperpolarizability of the β-nitrostyrene derivatives has been investigated by comparing the β values and the dihedral angles between the aryl and nitroalkenyl groups. In general the β value increased with the electron-donating ability of the substituent. The larger β value for 3,4-dimethoxy-β-nitrostyrene than that for p-methoxy-β-nitrostyrene has been attributed to the lower charge transfer energy for the former. The most striking substituent effect was observed in the β-methyl-β-nitrostyrene derivatives. Thus the β values for 3,4-dimethoxy- and p-methoxy derivatives of the latter decreased to near zero, probably because of the large distortion from planarity caused by the steric repulsion between the β-methyl and the aryl groups. The larger β value for p-dimethylamino-β-methyl-β-nitrostyrene has been interpreted with an increased electron-donating ability of the substituent and increased co-planarity.

By considering both electron-electron and electron-lattice interactions, the effect of charge transfer on the bond structure and electronic states of $C_{60}$ is studied without configuration limitation. The results show that the electron-electron interaction does not eliminate the layer structure of the bond distortion and the self-trapping of transferred electrons. For charged ${C_{60}}^{2-}$, there exist two localized electronic states, which possess laminar wave functions, and four nonequivalent groups of carbon atoms, which induce a fine-structure in the NMR spectrum line.

Gas-Phase reactions of methyl and ethyl nitrites with anionic nucleophiles of SH-, F- and OH- are investigated theoretically at the MP2/6-311+G* level. The SN2 processes are all highly exothermic and proceed with a typ-icaI double-weIl reaction coordinate profile. The elimination reactions of methyl nitrite with SH- and F- are double-well energy surface processes,with stabilizedproduct complexes of NO-...H2S and NO-...HF, pro-ceeding by an E1 cb-like E2 mechanism. The $\beta-elimination$ of ethyl nitrite is an E2 type process. The $\alpha-elimi-nation$ reactions of methyl and ethyl nitrites with OH- have triple-well energy profiles of Elcb pathway with an $\alpha-carbanion$ intermediate which is stabilized bythe vicinal $nc\alpha-{\sigma}*o-N$ charge transfer interactions. CompIex-ation ofmethyl carbanion with HF seems to provide a stable intermediate within a triple-well energy profile of El cb channel in the reaction of F- with methyl nitrite.

Reactivity and reaction mechanism for the reactions of 1,1'-(azodicarbonyl) dipiperidine with triphenylphosphines are investigated using kinetic method. The cation radical, Ph3P and the anion radical, -N-N - are produced during the course of the reaction. The cation radical is formed by the transfer of an electron from phosphorus to the nitrogen atom. The anion radical is formed by the addition of the one electron to the azo rad-ical. The rate constants are decreased by electron withdrawing groups while they are increased by electron donating groups present in triphenylphosphine. The electron density increases on nitrogen, while positive charge is developed on phosphorus in the transition state.

The electronic structure change caused by insertion of hydrogen into the interstices of Pd cluster is studied. Several properties such as energy, reduced overlap population (ROP), electon density (ED) and density of states (DOS) are calculated by Extended Huckel Method. Various types of clusters are considered. The same is performed on Ni and Pt and all the results are compared. The results show that the hydrogen atom in Pd is stabilized remarkably but its wave function is almost unperturbed. The fact is compatible with noticeable solubility of hydrogen in Pd but may not be a positive enough evidence to rationalize the claimed cold fusion phenomenon. It is also found that a remarkable charge transfer from Pd atom to hydrogen atom occurs.

The fluorescence properties and photoisomerization behavior of 1-(9-anthryl)-2-(2-quinolinyl)ethene (2-AQE) have been investigated in various solvents. Instead of phenyl ring in 1-(9-anthryl)-2-phenylethene, the intro-duction of quinoline ring reduces not only the fluorescence yield but also the photoisomerization yield, due to competition of efficient radiationless deactivation and an increase in the torsional barrier for twisting in the singlet manifold. The S1 decay parameters were found to be solvent-dependent due to the charge-transfer character of lowest S1 state. Polar solvents reduce the activation barrier to twisting, thus slight enhancing the isomerization of t-2-AQE in the singlet manifold. As solvent polarity is increased, Φf of c-2-AQE is greatly reduced, but Φc →ｔ is practically independent of solvent polarity. Dual fluorescence in t-2-AQE was observed and two fluorescing species could be assigned t-2-AQE and c-2-AQE, where the ratio between two species was dependent on the solvent polarity. Interestingly, in the concentration above 1×10 -4 M, the shapes of the fluorescence excitation spectra of t- and c-2-AQE are significantly altered without spectral changes of their fluorescence and absorption, probably due to the formation of excimer.
