The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute (4 hours) and repeated-dose (6 hours a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks) toxic effects of 1-hexene on Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats which were treated by inhalation. The results were as follows; 1. The median lethal concentration(LC$_{50}$) was estimated 52,694 ppm (confidence limit 95％; 49,494~55,447 ppm) in acute inhalation. Abnormal clinical signs related to the 1-Hexene were not observed with the acute inhalation dose. Cross findings of necropsy revealed on evidence of specific toxicity related to the 1-hexene. II. By repeated inhalation exposure the body weight of male were more or less reduced by the dose of 2,500 ppm and 5,000 ppm compared with control group. However there were no significant variation hematology and blood biochemistry for the exposed rats compared with the control rats. Abnormal clinical signs and gross findings of necropsy related to the 1-hexene were not shown. In conclusion when we exposed 1-hexene to SD rats for 4 weeks, 5 days per week, 6 hours per day, the Lowest observed effect level (LOEL) was over 2,500 ppm and Non observed effect level (NOEL) was below 500 ppm.

It was explored, whether the usual course of the ozonolysis of olefins can be modified with the help of pyridine. In the First step, the ozone oxidation of trans-3-hexene was performed with and without pyridine in the inert solvents n-pentane and dichloromethane. In addition, base catalyzed decompositions of monomeric and polymeric ozonides were also examined to identify the reaction mechanism. The reaction products were identified by modern analytical tools. The results of this work showed that reactions of ozone with olefins in the absence of pyridine in aprotic solvents gave, one hand, dominantly peroxidic products, namely monomeric and polymeric ozonides. The other hand, they in the presence of pyridine gave only the non-peroxidic products, namely propionaldehyde and rearranged propionic acid without peroxidic products. It seems, also, that the pyridine-catalyzed isomerization of the Criegee zwitterion of trans-3-hexene to give propionic acid takes place in the ozone oxidation of trans-3-hexene.

Details of the double-bond isomerization of 1-hexene over H-ZSM-5 were clarified using density functional theory. It is found that the reaction proceeds by a mechanism which involves the Br${\o}$nsted acid part of the zeolite solely. According to this mechanism, 1-hexene is first physically adsorbed on the acidic site, and then, the acidic proton transfers to one carbon atom of the double bond, while the other carbon atom of the double bond bonds with the Br${\o}$nsted host oxygen, yielding a stable alkoxy intermediate. Thereafter, the Br${\o}$nsted host oxygen abstracts a hydrogen atom from the $C_6H_{13}$ fragment and the C-O bond is broken, restoring the acidic site and yielding trans-2-hexene. The calculated activation barrier is 12.65 kcal/mol, which is in good agreement with the experimental value. These results well explain the energetic aspects during the course of double-bond isomerization and extend the understanding of the nature of the zeolite active sites.

The reactivity ratios, melting temperature and polymer morphology in propylene/butene-1 and propylene/hexene-1 copolymerization reactions were studied by examining comonomer compositions of resulting polymers. The catalysts used here are different in their supports which are silica(catalyst I) and magnesium(catalyst II). As the content of comonomer(butene-1 and hexene-1) increased in the copolymer, the melting temperature of the copolymer decreased. The morphology of polymer was amorphous in the range of comonomer(butene-1) composition over 40% in the propylene/butene-1 copolymerization and comonomer(hexene-1) composition over 80% in the propylene/hexene-1 copolymerization. The reactivity ratios were obtained by the Fineman-Ross and Kelen-$T{\ddot{u}}d{\tilde{o}}s$ methods.

A silica-magnesium bisupport (SMB) was prepared by a sol-gel method for use as a support for a metal-locene/Ziegler-Natta hybrid catalyst. The prepared $rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2/TiCl_4$/MAO(methylaluminoxane)/SMB catalyst was applied to the copolymerization of ethylene with l-hexene using a variable triethylaluminum (TEA)/transition-metal (Ti) ratio and fixed MAO/transition-metal (Zr) ratio. The effect of the Al(TEA)/Ti ratio on the physical properties and chemical composition distributions (CCDs) of the ethylene-hexene copolymers produced by the hybrid catalyst was investigated. In the ethylene-hexene copolymers, two melting temperatures attributed to the metal-locene and Ziegler-Natta catalysts were clearly observed. The number of CCD peaks was increased from six to seven and the temperature region in which the peaks for the short chain branches of the ethylene-hexene copolymer were distributed became lower as the Al(TEA)/Ti ratio was increased from 300 to 400. Furthermore, the temperature regions corresponding to the lamellas in the copolymer became lower and those corresponding to the small lamellas in the copolymer became higher as the Al(TEA)/Ti ratio was increased from 300 to 400. In the copolymer produced with Al(TEA)/Ti = 500, however, only four CCD peaks were observed and the short chain branches were poorly distributed.

In this study, we prepared poly(ethylene-ter-1-hexene-ter-divinylbenzene) using bridged rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ metallocene catalysts. The effect of 1-hexene on the terpolymerization rate was evaluated. When cocatalyst/catalyst molar ratio was 3,000, catalytic activity indicated more than 8,000 which was very remarkable value. As polymerization time increased, the weight-average molecular weight of the terpolymer gradually increased to some degree. In case of a polymerization time of 50 minutes, the terpolymer became amorphous state. The molecular weight distribution and densities of the terpolymer were 110,000-200,000 and $0.85-0.89g/cm^3$, respectively. Thermal properties and structure of the terpolymer were also identified.

The levels of migration of 1-hexene and 1-octene residues in PE (polyethylene) products were analyzed by Headspace gaschromatography (HSGC). A total of 21 samples were including lap, polyglove, zipper bag and ect. The samples were eluted with distilled water, 4% acetic acid, 20% ethanol and n-heptan. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.06 mg/L ~ 0.30 mg/L and limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.21 mg/L ~ 1.01 mg/L, respectively. But because of the high volatile, n-heptan elution was not detected 1-hexene and 1-octene standard. 1-hexene and 1-octene were not detected in the sample which eluted with simulant at $60^{\circ}C$, 30min. Microwave for 1 minute also treated sample and direct heated at $100^{\circ}C$ without simulant were not detected.

We have performed copolymerizations of ethylene with 1-hexene using various ansa-metallocene compounds in the presence of the non-coordinative [CPh$_3$][B(C$\_$6/F$\_$5/)$_4$ion pair as a cocatalyst. The metallocenes chosen for this study are isospecific metallocene diamide compounds, rac-(EBI)Zr(NMe$_2$)$_2$ [1, EBI = ethylene-l ,2-bis(1-indenyl)], rac-(EBI)Hf(NMe$_2$)$_2$ (2), rac-(EBI)Zr(NC$_4$H$\_$8/)$_2$ (3), and rac-(CH$_3$)$_3$Si(1-C$\_$5/H$_2$-2-CH$_3$-4-$\^$t/C$_4$H$\_$9/)2 Zr(NMe$_2$)$_2$ (4), and syndiospecific metallocene dimethyl compounds, ethylidene(cyclopentadienyl)(9-fluorenyl) ZrMe$_2$ [5, Et(Flu)(Cp )ZrMe$_2$] and isopropylidence (cyclopentadienyl)(9-fluorenyl)ZrMe$_2$ [6, iPr(Flu)(Cp)ZrMe$_2$]. The copolymerization rate decreased in the order 4 ＞1-3＞2 ＞5＞6. The reactivity of I -hexene decreased in the order 2 ＞6＞1- 3-5＞ 4. We characterized the microstructure of the resulting poly(ethylene-co-l-hexene) by $\^$l3/C NMR spectroscopy and investigated various other properties of the copolymers in detail.

Effect of Added 1-hexene on the yield of hydrogen produced from Co-60 gamma radiolysis of methanol was investigated at room temperature. The results indicated that the yield of hydrogen decreased rapidly with increasing 1-hexene concentrations. Effect of added methyl borate on the radiolysis of methanol was also studied in the presence of oxygen. The results revealved that methyl borate acted as a less effective scavenger than oxygen towards the precursors of the radiolysis products. Experimental data previously obtained on the systems with oxygen added were treated more quantitatively to re-examine mechanism of the radiolysis of methanol in detail.

In this study, we prepared poly(ethylene-ter-1-hexene-ter-divinylbenzene) using briged rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ or unbriged $Cp_2ZrCl_2$ metallocene catalysts. Bridged rac-$Et[Ind]_2ZrCl_2$ catalyst showed relatively good results compared with unbridged one. When cocatalyst/catalyst molar ratio was 3000, catalytic activity indicated more than 8000(kg of polymer/$mol{\cdot}h$) which was very remarkable value. As a polymerization time increased, the weight-average molecular weight of the terpolymer gradually increased to some degree. In the case of a polymerization time of 50 minutes, the state of the terpolymer became amorphous. The range of the weight-average molecular weight and the densities of the terpolymer was 110,000~200,000 and $0.85{\sim}0.89g/cm^3$, respectively. The thermal properties and the structure of the terpolymer were also identified.
