A synthesis of Dimer acid was studied from a tall oil fatty acid. Catalytic activity measured as reactant conversion in a autoclave reactor increase in accordance with the acidity. The optimization of process conditions were tested by an experimental design method. Optimization synthetic conditions of dimer acid and were reaction of tall oil fatty acid during 2 hour at $250^{\circ}C$, used of 7.3 wt% active clay and $1.2{\sim}1.4wt%$ water, and found reation pressure $8{\sim}9Kg/cm^2$. The maximum conversion rate was researched $74{\sim}76%$.

We have performed quantum mechanical calculations to study the geometries and binding energies of biologically important, cyclic hydrogen-bonded complexes, such as formic acid + $H_2O$, formamidine + $H_2O$, formamide + $H_2O$, formic acid dimer, formamidine dimer, formamide dimer, formic acid + formamide, formic acid + formamidine, formamide + formamidine, and barrier heights for the double proton transfer in these complexes. Various ab initio, density functional theory, multilevel methods have been used. Geometries and energies depend very much on the level of theory. In particular, the transition state symmetry of the proton transfer in formamidine dimer varies greatly depending on the level of theory, so very high level of theory must be used to get any reasonable results.

Specific association phenomena of riboflayin-2',3',4',5',- tetraacetate and salicylic acid derivatives, such as salicylic acid, aspirin and salicylamide have been measured by infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy. Salicylic acid and riboflavin tetraacetate oxyl group of the former. Asprin and riboflavin tetraacetate form the 1:1 cyclic hydrogen bonded dimer by the same mode. Salicylamide froms the 1:1 cyclic hydrogen bonded dimer with riboflavin tetraacetate by using its amide group and carbonyl group. Salicylic acid derivatives are effective quenchers of the fluorescence of riboflavin tetraacetate. It is appeared that salifylamide is the strongest quencher among them. The quenching effect is attributed to the formation of association dimer.

In this study, we demonstrate the effects of the acidic properties of montmorillonite (MMT), which is commonly used as a catalyst, on the conversion and selectivity of the dimer acid methyl ester (DAME) synthesis. We synthesize DAME by the dimerization of conjugated linoleic acid methyl ester (CLAME) and oleic acid methyl ester using MMT KSF. Incidentally, trimer acid methyl ester was formed as a by-product during the DAME synthesis. There is a necessity to adequately adjust the strength and quantity of the acid site to control the selectivity of DAME. Therefore, we vary the pH of the MMT acid by using various metal hydroxides. The purpose of this study is to increase the yield of monocyclic dimer acid methyl ester, which is a substance with adequate physical properties for industrial applications (e.g., lubricant and adhesive, etc.), using a heterogeneous catalyst. We report the dimerization of fatty acid methyl ester by using base treated-KSF, and apply it to conjugated soybean oil methyl ester. Then, we transmute the acid site properties of KSF, such as pH of 5 wt.% slurry KSF and various alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Ca). Characterization of base treated-KSF using a pH meter, x-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface analysis, and temperature-programmed desorption. We conduct an analysis of CLAME and DAME using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and gel permeation chromatography. Through these experiments, we demonstrate the effects of the acidic properties of KSF on the conversion and selectivity of the DAME synthesis, and evaluate its industrial potential by application to waste vegetable oil.

Vegetable oil-based dimer acid derivatives were prepared through a two-step procedure and their lubricating properties for diesel fuel were evaluated using high frequency reciprocating ring (HFRR) method to investigate wear scar diameter (WSD). Diels-Alder reaction at an elevated temperature transformed fatty acid to dimer acid, subsequently converted into dimer acid derivatives by esterification with methanol. It should be noted that the derivatives were dissolved well in diesel oil up to 1 wt%. After adding 120 ppm of the derivatives to pure diesel, the WSD significantly decreased to $300{\sim}05{\mu}m$, compared to $552{\mu}m$ of WSD in pure diesel. Dimer acid derivatives having carboxylic acid show superb in lubricating property which does not depend on the alkyl group in the derivatives.

In this study, we present the preparation and characterization of oxidized fullerene and fullerene dimer [$C_{120}$]. From the XRD data, other weak peaks with pristine fullerene [$C_{60}$] peaks were observed in the X-ray diffraction patterns for fullerene dimer [$C_{120}$]. SEM micrographs for the fullerene dimer [$C_{120}$] indicated that practically all the surface state was shown the drastic morphology changes and its outer surface is clearly visible and resulted in clogging and frost-like formation. From the MALDI-TOF mass spectra, the differences in the spectra recorded on two kinds of fullerene are due to the oxidation including chemical bonding and bridging between the $C_{60}$ molecules. We also obtained additional information from FT-IR spectra on functional component on the chemically modified surface of oxidized fullerene and fullerene dimer [$C_{120}$].

Total polar lipid produced from the soybean oil and lard by heating with different surface area at $185^{\circ}C$ were measured by silica gel column chromatography. Further, the polar lipid was fractionated by high performance size exclusion chromatography-evaporative light scattering detector (HPSEC-ELSD). The HPSEC system was composed of two GPC columns $(100\;{\AA}\;and\;500\;{\AA})$ and a THF mobile phase. With this system it was possible to fractionate into the free fatty acid, diglyceride, triglyceride monomer, triglyceride dimer and triglyceride polymers. The triglyceride monomer, triglyceride dimer and triglyceride polymers significantly increased as the heating time and surface area increased. But diglyceride and free fatty acid did not increased as the heating time and surface area increased. Triglyceride polymer (r>0.93), triglyceride dimer (r>0.97), triglyceride monomer (r>0.95) showed a high correlation with polar lipid content. On the other hand, diglyceride (r<0.68) and free fatty acid (r<0.76) were not significantly correlated with the polar lipid content. These results indicated that a major oxidative components formed during thermal oxidation were triglyceride polymers and triglyceride dimer and triglyceride monomer.

New asymmetric dimers, N,N'-dialkyl-4'-hydroxy-4-oxo-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-2,2'-diphenyl-4,4'-quinolones 3a-f were synthesized through the dehydration and dea1coholation of N-alkylanilines and ethyl benzoylacetate. Dimers 3a-f were identified by NMR, IR and GC-MS. A series of dimer 3a-f has been synthesized using acid-catalyzed one-pot reaction that involved the condensation, cyc1ization and dimerization. Similarly, the 6,6'-methoxy (or 7,7'-methoxy) substituted dimers were prepared from N-alkyl-meta-(or para)-anisidines. Formation of dimers was undertaken with p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA) at 90∼11$0^{\circ}C$ in toluene for 2∼6 hours over the Dean-Stark apparatus.

In this study, a series of dimer acid-based polyamides with different diamines were synthesized by condensation polymerization and the polyamides were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Effects of diamine structures on mechanical and thermal properties of polyamides were investigated. The tensile strength and lap shear adhesion strength of aromatic-based polyamide (DAP) were higher than those of aliphatic-based polyamide (DAH). In DSC thermogram, DAP has a high $T_g$ and $T_m$ compared with DAH. DAP's and DAH's softening point were $112-115^{\circ}C$ and $98-121^{\circ}C$, respectively.
