A mathematical model of discharge mechanism of metal-hydride (MH) electrode was presented. A computer simulation program was developed in order to predict the variation of electrode potential and the distribution of hydrogen concentration within MH particles during discharge. By investigating the effects of the discharge current density, the size of MH particle, the diffusivity of hydrogen in MH particle, and the porosity of the electrode, it was found that these factors exerted a collective effect on the discharge characteristic of the electrode and the utilization of hydrogen in the MH particle. It was confirmed that and optimization of design factors of an MH electrode is necessary in order to execute a high-rate discharge and to improve the utilization of hydrogen in MH particle.

Intrinsic layers of homoepitaxial InP grown by the hydride vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) technique were investigated by Fourier-transform photoluminescence(FTPL) and variable temperature Hall measurements. The effect of process variables (i.e., source zone temperature and inlet mole fractions of HCl and $PH_{3}$) on the backgroudn impurity levels was investigated. The background carrier concentration was found to decrease with decreasing source zone temperature and increasing HCl, but was relatively independent of $PH_{3}$ for the range of mole fraction studied. The presence of background donors and acceptors was clearly verified in the FTPL spectra, and the major impurities were tentatively identified as Si donors and Zn acceptors as well as some unidentified acceptors.

We examined the determination of trace amount of germanium in rocks and sediments by hydride vapor generation-ICP-AES. Germanium is formed volatile compounds with various types of acid reagents, but volatilizing of germanium was decreased in the presence of $H_3PO_4$. Sediments and rocks can be dissolved by mixed acids of $HF-HNO_3-H_3PO_4$ without volatilizing loss of germanium in open digestion system and it was possible to determine germanium by hydride generation-ICP-AES without further sample treatment. Detection limit of Ge is reached to 0.08 ppb under the condition of 5M $H_3PO_4$ and 1% $NaBH_4$ as a supporting acid and a reducing reagent, respectively. The measured values by hydride generation-ICP-AES agreed well with the reference values of SRMs as well as the values determined by solution nebulization-ICP-MS.

The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess sodium tris(diethylamino)aluminum hydride (ST-DEA) with selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under standardized conditions(tetrahydrofuran, $0{\circ}$) were studied in order to characterize the reducing characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. The reducing ability of STDEA was also compared with those of the parent sodium aluminum hydride (SAH) and lithium tris(diethylamino)aluminum hydride (LTDEA). The reagent appears to be milder than LTDEA. Nevertheless, the reducing action of STDEA is very similar to that observed previously for LTDEA, as is the case of the corresponding parent sodium and lithium aluminum hydrides. STDEA shows a unique reducing characteristics. Thus, benzyl alcohol, phenol and 1-hexanol evolved hydrogen slowly, whereas 3-hexanol and 3-ethyl-3-pentanol, secondary and tertiary alcohols, were essentially inert to STDEA. Primary amine, such as n-hexylamine, evolved only 1 equivalent of hydrogen slowly. On the other hand, thiols examined were absolutely stable. STDEA reduced aidehydes and ketones rapidly to the corresponding alcohols. The stereoselectivity in the reduction of cyclic ketones by STDEA was similar to that by LTDEA. Quinones, such as p-benzoquinone and anthraquinone, were reduced to the corresponding 1,4-dihydroxycyclohexadienes without evolution of hydrogen. Carboxylic acids and anhydrides were reduced very slowly, whereas acid chlorides were reduced to the corresponding alcohols readily. Esters and epoxides were also reduced readily. Primary carboxamides consumed hydrides for reduction slowly with concurrent hydrogen evolution, but tertiary amides were readily reduced to the corresponding tertiary amines. The rate of reduction of aromatic nitriles was much faster than that of aliphatic nitriles. Nitrogen compounds examined were also reduced slowly. Finally, disulfide, sulfoxide, sulfone, and cyclohexyl tosylate were readily reduced without evolution of hydrogen. In addition to that, the reagent appears to be an excellent partial reducing agent: like LTDEA, STDEA converted ester and primary carboxamides to the corresponding aldehydes in good yields. Furthermore, the reagent reduced aromatic nitriles to the corresponding aldehydes chemoselectively in the presence of aliphatic nitriles. Consequently, STDEA can replace LTDEA effectively, with a higher selectivity, in most organic reductions.

The approximate rates and stoichiometry of the reaction of excess lithium tris(diethylamino)aluminum hydride (LTDEA) with selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups under standardized condition (tetrahydrofuran, 0$^{\circ}C$) were examined in order to define the characteristics of the reagent for selective reductions. The reducing ability of LTDEA was also compared with those of the parent lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) and lithium tris(dibutylamino)aluminum hydride (LTDBA). In general, the reactivity toward organic functionalities is in order of LAH${\gg}$LTDEA${\geq}$LTDBA. LTDEA shows a unique reducing characteristics. Thus, benzyl alcohol and phenol evolve hydrogen slowly. The rate of hydrogen evolution of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols is distinctive: 1-hexanol evolves hydrogen completely in 6 h, whereas 3-hexanol evolves hydrogen very slowly. However, 3-ethyl-3-pentanol does not evolve any hydrogen under these reaction conditions. Primary amine, such as n-hexylamine, evolves only 1 equivalent of hydrogen. On the other hand, thiols examined are absolutely inert to this reagent. LTDEA reduces aldehydes, ketones, esters, acid chlorides, and epoxides readily to the corresponding alcohols. Quinones, such as p-benzoquinone and anthraquinone, are reduced to the corresponding diols without hydrogen evolution. However, carboxylic acids, anhydrides, nitriles, and primary amides are reduced slowly, where as tertiary amides are readily reduced. Finally, sulfides and sulfoxides are reduced to thiols and sulfides, respectively, without evolution of hydrogen. In addition to that, the reagent appears to be an excellent partial reducing agent to convert esters, primary carboxamides, and aromatic nitriles into the corresponding aldehydes. Free carboxylic acids are also converted into aldehydes through treatment of acyloxy-9-BBN with this reagent in excellent yields.
