We resolved the controversial assignments of the visible vibronic bands observed from corona discharge of 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene. The vibronic bands belonging to the jet-cooled 2,6-dimethylbenzyl radical were clearly identified from the spectrum observed from corona discharge of 2,6-dimethylbenzyl chloride. After subtracting the bands of the 2,6-isomer from the spectrum observed from corona discharge of 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene, the vibronic bands of the 2,3-isomer were also identified. By comparing data with the known vibrational data of 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene and the results of ab initio calculations, we determined the electronic energies of the $D_1{\rightarrow}D_0$ transitions and vibrational mode frequencies in the ground electronic states of the 2,3-and 2,6-dimethylbenzyl radicals.

In this study, some novel thiosubstituted butenyne (3a-d, 7b, 15b), butadiene (4a-b, 4d, 5a, 5c, 6b, 8e, 9c, 10b, 16b, 18e) and [3]cumulene (11a-b with isomer 3a-b, 12a with isomer 13a, 14b, 17e) compounds were synthesized from the reaction of 2H-pentachloro-1,3-butadiene with thiols. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, UV-vis, IR, 1H NMR, NMR ($^{13}C$ or APT) spectroscopy.

The fluorescence properties and photoisomerization behavior of 1-(9-anthryl)-2-(n-quinolinyl)ethene (n-AQE, n=2-4) have been investigated in various solvents. t-3-AQE is strongly fluorescent, but does not accomplish photoisomerization, similar to parent hydrocarbon compound, t-1-(9-anthryl)-2-phenylethene (t-9-APE) or t-1-(9-anthryl)-2-(1-naphthyl)ethene (t-1-ANE). Fluorescence and photoisomerization oft-2-AQE and t-4-AQE are strongly affected by solvent polarity. Dependence of fluorescence quantum yield on the solvent polarity is moderate for t-2-AQE and large for t-4-AQE. In nonpolar solvent (in n-hexane), they exhibit relatively strong fluorescence, but do not isomerize to cis isomer on irradiation, even if inefficient isomerization is observed for t-4-AQE. However, as solvent polarity increases, their fluorescences become weak with efficient photoisomerization to corresponding cis isomer. Intramolecular charge-transfer excited state is presumed to contribute to photoisomerization. The S$_1$ decay parameters were found to be solvent-dependent due to the charge-transfer character of lowest S$_1$ state. In polar solvents, the activation barrier to twisting is reduced enhancing the isomerization of r-2-AQE and t-4-AQE in the singlet manifold.

Xerographic properties of double-layer photoconductor doped with 4-butyl-4'-methoxyazobenzene (BMAB) as charge-carrier transport material were investigated. BMAB can undergo reversible trans-cis isomerization by light with appropriate wavelength. In the results of measured surface voltage properties for photoconductor doped with BMAB, TNF: BMAB(4-wt%) sample with trans form showed the lowest dark decay, the lowest residual voltage, and the highest sensitivity among cis form. The trans isomer of BMAB has ordering orientation because the molecule possesses a rodlike shape, while the cis isomer has random orientation due to its bent shape. Therefore the molecular arrangement of trans form enhanced charge-carrier transport mobility.

The role of chlorination reactions in the formation of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in a municipal waste incinerator was assessed using a chlorination model for predicting PCDF isomer distributions. Complete distributions of PCDF congeners were obtained from a stoker-type municipal waste incinerator operated under 13 test conditions. Samples were collected from the flue gas prior to the gas cleaning system. While total PCDF yields varied by a factor of five to six, the distributions of congeners were similar. A chlorination model, dependent only on the observed distribution of monochlorinated isomers, was developed to predict the distributions of poly-chlorinated isomers formed by chlorination of dibenzofuran (DF). Agreement between predicted and measured PCDF isomer distributions was high for all homologues, supporting the hypothesis that DF chlorination can play an important role in the formation of PCDF byproducts.

Marine sediments and bivalves were sampled at 20 stations from coastal regions of Korea, to investigate the levels and patterns of some chlorobenzene isomers. Total chlorobenzenes were in the range of 0.32-3.55 ng/g dry weight in marine sediments and 0.26-0.84 ng/g wet weight in bivalves. Hexachlorobenzene levels in marine sediments and bivalves were lower thar or comparable to those levels of reported in other countries. Isomeric patterns of some chlorobenzenes in marine sediments and bivalves were slightly different. However, the pre-dominant isomer in marine sediments and bivalves was 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene. Hexachlorobenzene contribution to total concentrations was higher in sediments than in bivalves.

ln order to develope anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids for local use without systemic side-effects, ester and amide derivatives of 20$\xi$-dihydroprednisolonic acid have been prepared. When binding affinities of these compounds to glucocorticoid receptor of rat liver cytosol were compared, all a-isomer at C-20 showed higher binding affinities than the corres¬ponding $\beta$-isomer. The size of the substituents at C-21 had significant influences on binding affinities, which were related with their lipophilicity.

The synthesis of new 6-exomethylene penams with triazole ring for $\beta$-lactamase inhibitor was described. The 6,6-dibromopenam 6 was treated with $CH_3$MgBr and carbaldehyde 5 to afford the 6-bromo-6-(1-hydroxy-1-methyl)penicillanate 7, which was reacted with acetic anhydride to give acetoxy compound 8. The deacetoxybromination of 8 with zinc and acetic acid gave 6-exomethylenepenams, Z-isomer 9 and E-isomer 10, which were oxidized to sulfones 11 and 12 by m-CPBA. The p-methoxybenzyl compounds 9~12 were deprotected by AIC1$_3$and neutralized to give the sodium salts 13~16.

Isomers based on the RS and EZ geometrical isomerism of the neutral, deprotonated species of HMPAO and their complexes with zinc(Ⅱ) ion have been investigated by semiempirical AM1 optimization method. The Hartree-Fock energies on AM1 geometries o f HMPAO species were calculated with HF/6-31G* methods. Twenty-two isomers of the neutral and twenty isomers of the deprotonated species of HMPAO have been found. The presence of four EE-series isomers of both zinc(Ⅱ) complexes with the neutral and deprotonated HMPAO have been expected and the SREE typical isomer of both types of complexes is the most stable isomer. Energies of complexation of zinc(Ⅱ)/HMPAO isomers with AM1 geometries were calculated by HF/ 6-31G*method. Due to the complexations with zinc(Ⅱ), the structural reorganizations of some isomers of the neutral HMPAO have been occurred. The optimized geometrical parameters of the related conformations have been discussed in terms of their stabilities and existences.
