Semiempirical computations using the AM1 and MNDO methods were carried out in order to elucidate allowed mechanisms for 1,3-group(X) rearrangement processes with X = $BH_2$, $CH_3$, CN, F, $NH_2$, OH, Cl and SH. The reactivity of the group migration was largely controlled by the steric effect in the 4-membered ring transition state, an antarafacial process having a greater energy barrier due to a greater steric repulsion. For the groups with lone pair electrons, the participation of the lone pair orbital is found to ease the steric effect by enabling the FMO interation with highly polarizable, high lying, lone pair electrons at relatively distant range; the involvement of lone pairs in the transition state causes an alteration of the symmetry selection rule to that of a 6-electron system with an allowed 1,3-suprafacial migration in contrast to an allowed 1,3-antarafacial migration for a 4-electron system. Various stereoelectronic aspects were analysed in some detail.

The electrostatic phenomenon seriously issued in extreme ultraviolet semiconductor cleaning was studied in junction with molecular dynamic aspect. It was understood that two lone pairs of electrons in water molecule were subtly different each other in molecular orbital symmetry, existed as two states of large energy difference, and became basis for water clustering through hydron bonds. It was deduced that when hydrogen bond formed by lone pair of higher energy state was broken, two types of [H₂O]⁺ and [H₂O]^- ions would be instantaneously generated, or that lone pair of higher energy state experiencing reactions such as friction with Teflon surface could cause electrostatic generation. It was specifically observed that, in case of electrolyzed cathode water, negative electrostatic charges by electrons were overlapped with negative oxidation reduction potentials without mutual reaction. Therefore, it seemed that negative electrostatic development could be minimized in cathode water by mutual repulsion of electrons and [OH]^- ions, which would be providing excellences on extreme ultraviolet cleaning and electrostatic control as well.

Halogen atoms in a molecule are traditionally considered as electron donors, since they have unshared electrons. Normally when they are bonded, there are three lone pair electrons. These lone pairs can function as Lewis bases. However, when they are bound to electron withdrawing groups, they can act as Lewis acids. Since the situation is similar hydrogen bonding (HB), this type of interaction is named as halogen bonding (XB). This mainly comes from the uneven distribution of electron density around the halogen atoms. Since the electron density around halogen atom opposite to ${\sigma}$-bond is depleted, its electropositive region is called ${\sigma}$-hole. This ${\sigma}$-hole can attract halogen bond acceptors, requiring more stringent directionality compared to HB. Since this interaction mainly comes from electrostatic origin, the geometry tends to be linear. Since the XB energy is comparable to corresponding HB. Still in its infancy, XB shows a broad range of applicability, with potentially more useful properties, compared to corresponding HB.

The geometrical structures of various isomers of hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene (HFBD), tetrafluoro-1,3-butadiene (TFBD), and difluoro-1,3-butadiene (DFBD) have been studied theoretically. Natural steric and natural resonance theory (NRT) analyses indicate that the lower energy of skew s-cis conformer of hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene than that of the s-trans conformer is originated from the strong steric repulsions between fluorine atoms particularly in the s-trans conformer. The resonance structures generated by NRT also show that the lone electron pairs of fluorine atoms effectively extend the conjugation, and the large differences in energy among the structural isomers of tetrafluoro-1,3-butadiene and difluoro-1,3-butadiene are in part attributed to the differences in the delocalization energies, in addition to the steric repulsion between fluorine atoms. Other interatomic interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, also play important roles in determination of the structures of isomers of tetrafluoro-1,3-butadiene and difluoro-1,3-butadiene.

Free base meso-tetraarylporphyrins ($H_2T(X)PP$) react with tellurium(IV) chloride ($TeCl_4$) in mild conditions for formation sandwich intermediate sitting-atop (i-SAT) complexes, [$TeCl_4(H_2T(X)PP)_2$]. $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, UV-vis, FT-IR and elemental analysis were used for characterization of the products. In the proposed structure of the i-SAT complexes, four pyrroles of each porphyrin ring are tilted alternatively up and down and this appropriates suitable orientation of lone pairs of two pyrrolenine nitrogens for electron donation to a tellurium center. $^1H$ NMR and FT-IR results showed that in the produced complex, hydrogen atoms of porphyrin macrocycles remained on the pyrrole nitrogens.

The characteristics of linear dichroism with temperature were investigated in normally($0^{\circ}$) and $80^{\circ}$-obliquely deposited amorphous $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin films using low temperature equipment. The saturated dichroism($D_{sat}$) of a $80^{\circ}$-obliquely deposited film shows approximately 6% which is the larger value than 4.2 % of normally($0^{\circ}$) deposited film. The $D_{sat}$ of $80^{\circ}$-deposited film was increased to 25 % at 77 K, which is four times larger than that at room temperature. The $D_{sat}$ decreased with increasing temperature and was completely disappeared at about 335K. This could be explained as the tunneling effect due to the thermal excitation of lone-pair electrons in intimate valence alternation pairs(IVAPs) which are considered to be the origin of anisotropy. The decrease of $D_{sat}$ with increasing temperature from 77K to room temperature satisfied Gaussian approximation with a standard deviation of 158K.
