Poly(norbornene dimethyl dicarboxylate)s, (PNDMD)s, were prepared by addition polymerization with palladium(II) catalyst from pure exo-monomers, and their structure and properties were compared with those of poly(norbornene dicarboxylic acid dialkyl ester)s, (PNDADA)s. Both polymer series exhibited good solubility in general organic solvents and excellent thermal stability up to $330^{\circ}C$. Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) study indicated the presence of nano-scale layer-like order in amorphous PNDADAs, while PNDMDs showed random amorphous structure. The glass transition temperatures and dielectric constants of solid polymers were found to decrease as the alkyl side-chain length increases for both polymer series. However, PNDMDs showed lower glass transition temperatures and higher dielectric constants, as compared with those of PNDADAs containing the same alkyl substituents. This difference, caused by the higher side-group mobility of PNDMDs, may be closely related to the nano-scale order in amorphous PNDADAs and its absence in PNDMDs.

스테인리스 스틸 메쉬 표면을 환원 전처리하여 그 표면상에 직접 탄소나노튜브 또는 탄소나노섬유와 같은 VGCF (vapor grown carbon fiber) 나노물질을 합성 성장시켰다. 수소 가스를 이용하여 스테인리스 스틸 메쉬를 환원 처리함으로써, 금속 표면상에 bi-modal 분포의 작은 촉매입자와 큰 촉매입자들이 함께 생성되었다. 환원된 스테인리스 스틸 메쉬로부터 VGCF의 합성 시, 수소 가스가 공급되지 않은 경우는 작은 촉매입자로부터 탄소나노튜브들이 주로 성장되었으나, 특정 량의 수소 가스가 공급될 경우 큰 촉매입자로부터 탄소나노섬유들이 주로 성장되었다.

The direct synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with acidic and basic active sites is challenging due to the introduction of functional groups by post-functionalization method often jeopardize the framework integrity. Herein, we report the direct synthesis of acid-base bifunctional MOFs with tuning acid-base strength. Employing modulated hydrothermal (MHT) approach, microporous MOFs named $UiO-66-NH_2$ was prepared. Through the ring-opening reaction of 1,3-propanesultone with amino group, $UiO-66-NH_2-SO_3H-type$ catalysts can be obtained. The synthesized catalysts were well characterized and their catalytic performances were evaluated in one-pot glucose to 5-HMF conversion. Results revealed the acid-base bi-functional catalyst possessed high activity and excellent stability. This work provides a general and economically viable approach for the large-scale synthesis of acid-base bi-functional MOFs for their potential use in catalysis field.

Anion effects on structures of $Cd^{II}$ complexes containing 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bpy) ligands have been studied, and compared with $Zn^{II}$-(2,2'-bpy) complexes. For each anion, different structures have been obtained in both $Zn^{II}$-(2,2'-bpy) and $Cd^{II}$-(2,2'-bpy). Polymeric structures of $Cd^{II}$-2,2'-bpy complexes can be produced by hydrogen bonding interactions as shown in $Zn^{II}$-2,2'-bpy complexes. In addition, the bigger size of a $Cd^{II}$ ion gives higher coordination numbers forming variety of structures, and it makes that chlorides can act as bridging ligands to form a one-dimensional structure. The compound $\mathbf{5}$ catalyzed efficiently the transesterification of a variety of esters with methanol, while the rest of the compounds have displayed very slow conversions. In addition, the emission bands of complexes $\mathbf{1}$, $\mathbf{2}$, $\mathbf{4}$, and $\mathbf{6}$ are blue-shifted compared to the corresponding ligand 2,2'-bpy, whereas $\mathbf{3}$ and $\mathbf{5}$ showed the similar emission observed for the ligand.

니켈촉매 막을 증착시킨 산화규산 기판위에 아세틸렌기체와 수소기체를 원료로 육불화황기체를 첨가기체로 탄소코일을 증착하였다. 육불화황이 투입되는 단계에 따라 성장된 탄소코일의 특성(형성 밀도, 형상)을 조사하였다. 육불화황을 연속적으로 주입하였을 경우 선형, 마이크로크기 코일, 나노크기 코일, 그리고 파동형 나노크기 코일 등 다양한 형태의 탄소코일들이 성장하였다. 하지만, 탄소코일 초기 증착단계에서 1분정도의 짧은시간 동안 육불화황을 주입한 경우 나노크기의 탄소코일 형상만을 대부분 얻을 수 있었다. 탄소코일 합성반응시간이 1분 정도 지체된 후의 단계에서 짧은시간 동안의 육불화황 주입은 코일형상 제어를 저해하였다. 따라서, 육불화황의 주입 시간과 주입단계가 탄소 코일의 형상을 결정하는 중요한 요인임을 알 수 있었다.

To enhance the performance of cathodes at low temperatures, a Cu-coated cathode is prepared, and its electrochemical performance is examined by testing its use in a single cell. At $620^{\circ}C$ and a current density of $150mAcm^{-2}$, a single cell containing the Cu-coated cathode has a significantly higher voltage (0.87 V) during the initial operation than does that with an uncoated cathode (0.79 V). According to EIS analysis, the high voltage of the cell with the Cu-coated cathode is due to the dramatic decrease in the high-frequency resistance related to electrochemical reactions. From XPS analysis, it is confirmed that the Cu is initially in the form of $Cu_2O$ and is converted into CuO after 150 h of operation, without any change in the state of the Ni or Li. Therefore, the high initial cell voltage is confirmed to be due to $Cu_2O$. Because $Cu_2O$ is catalytically active toward $O_2$ adsorption and dissociation, $Cu_2O$ on a NiO cathode enhances cell performance and reduces cathode polarization. However, the cell with the Cu-coated cathode does not maintain its high voltage because $Cu_2O$ is oxidized to CuO, which demonstrates similar catalytic activity toward $O_2$ as NiO.

Various commercially available gas diffusion layers (GDLs) from different manufacturers were used to prepare an air electrode using $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CoO_3$ perovskite (LSCP) as the catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline solution. Various GDLs have different physical properties, such as porosity, conductivity, hydrophobicity, etc. The ORR and OER of the resulting cathode were electrochemically evaluated in an alkaline solution. The electrochemical properties of the resulting cathodes were slightly different when compared to the physical properties of GDLs. Pore structure and conductivity of GDLs had a prominent effect and their hydrophobicities had a minor effect on the electrochemical performances of cathodes for ORR and OER.

Second-order rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of phenyl Y-substituted-phenyl carbonates 7a-g with butane-2,3-dione monoximate ($Ox^-$) in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The ${\alpha}$-nucleophile $Ox^-$ is 53-95 times more reactive than the corresponding normal-nucleophile 4-$ClPhO^-$ toward 7a-g, indicating that the ${\alpha}$-effect is operative. The magnitude of the ${\alpha}$-effect (e.g., the $k_{Ox^-}/k_{4-ClPhO^-}$ ratio) is independent of the electronic nature of the substituent Y. The cause of the ${\alpha}$-effect for the reactions of 7a-g has been suggested to be ground-state (GS) effect rather than transition-state (TS) stabilization through a six-membered cyclic TS, in which $Ox^-$ behaves a general acid/base catalyst. This idea is further supported by the result that $OH^-$ exhibits negative deviation from the linear Br${\o}$nsted-type plot composed of a series of aryloxides, while $Ox^-$ deviates positively from the linearity. Differential solvation of the GS of $Ox^-$ and 4-$ClPhO^-$ has been suggested to be responsible for the ${\alpha}$-effect exerted by $Ox^-$.
