  • The metabolism of sterol precurosor in leaves of Salanum andigena grafted between photoinduced and noninduced plant was investigated with the use of (2-$^{14}$ C) mevalonic acid. By the technique of the preparative gas-liquid chromatography, radioactive compounds of squalene, 4,4’-dimethylsterols and 4-demethylsterol were isolated and determined quantitatively. When labeled mevalonic acid n as applied to leaves radioactivity was extensively incorporated into non-saponifiable materials of lipid fraction and aqueous fraction (ethanol-water fraction). Radioactivity of 14C derived from (2-$^{14}$ C) mevalonic acid was transmissible from photoinduced plant to non-induced plant across the graft union, as tuberization hormone was, and incorporated into the sterols of the non-induced plant. Inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis, SK & F 7997 and nicotinic acid, are effective suppressors of tuber growing, if applied to leaves during photoinduction period. The experimental results suggest that certain substance containing isoprene unit, or sterol-like compound may participate in tuber growing.

  • Photoreaction of N-(o-halophenyl)acetamide in basic acetonitrile produces an intramolecular substituted product, 2-methylbenzoxazole in addition to reduced product, acetanilide, whereas photoreaction of N-(o-halobenzyl) acetamide affords a reduced product, N-benzylacetamide only. On the basis of preparative reaction, kinetics, and UV/vis absorption behavior, an electrophilic aromatic substitution of aryl halide with oxygen of its amide bond are proposed.

  • The reactive precursors, vinyl ethers, and epoxy-silicones, were synthesized. The vinyl ether monomers were prepared from primary alcohol and ethyl vinyl ether with mercury (II) acetate. The epoxy-functionalized silicones have been achieved by the controlled, rhodium-catalyzed, chemoselective hydrosilation of vinyl ether with siloxanes or silane. It was shown that the hydrosilation proceeds exclusively at the vinyl ether group of alkenyl vinyl ether without participation at the alkenyl group. The photoinduced cationic polymerization of these monomers was studied and found to be all highly reactive.

  • Many kinds of fluorescent polypyridine compounds including bpy and dppz derivatives are described in understanding the recent current of fluorescent materials having photofuctionality. Those polypyridine compounds have the photofunctionality such as the fluorescence recognition and/or photo-switching. Furthermore, those compounds are applicated for the construction of long ranged photoinduced electron/energy transfer system. Various fluorescent ${\pi}-conjugation$ systems connected by amide or imine bond as well as the simple fluorescent bpy derivatives are introduced in this review paper.

  • The efficiency of PP-g-AA and PP-g-St nonwoven fabric synthesized by photoinduced polymerization as an adsorbent for removal $NH_3-N$ from waste water was evaluated. The results evidently indicate that the adsorption capacities of $NH_3-N$ onto PP-g-AA nonwoven fabric were extremely superior to those onto sulfonated PP-g-St nonwoven fabric, PK and zeolite. PP-g-AA nonwoven fabric showed the maximum adsorption capacity of $NH_3-N$ at the degree of grafting of 80 wt.%. The adsorption behaviour of $NH_3-N$ onto PP-g-AA and sulfonated PP-g-St nonwoven fabric was controlled by an ion exchange reaction, and tended to be similar to both trends of Langmiur and Freundlish isotherm. Futhermore, PP-g-AA non-woven fabric could be regenerated more than 5 times by a simple washing with 0.1N HCl with no decrease of adsorption capacity and no degradation of physical properties. Also sulfonated PP-g-St nonwoven fabric could be regenerated by washing with 0.1N ${H_2}{O_4}$. However, their regeneration efficiency was significantly low because grafting layer acted as functional radical for adsorption was continuously desquamated in the adsorption or regeneration processes, which resulted in decrease of adsorption capacity and weight of adsorbent. All results obtained from this study indicate that the $NH_3-N$ removal capacity of PP-g-AA non-woven fabric was extremely superior to those of PP-g-St non-woven fabric, PK and zeolite.

  • Recently, ZnO has received attentionbecause of its applications in optoelectronics and spintronics. In order to investigate deep level defects in ZnO, we used N-doped ZnO with various of the N-doping concentration. which are reference samples (undoped ZnO), 27%, 49%, and 88%-doped ZnO. Photoinduced current transient spectroscopy (PICTS) measurement was carried out to find deep level traps in high resistive ZnO:N. In reference ZnO sample, a deep trap was found to located at 0.31 (as denoted as the CO trap) eV below conduction band edge. And the CN1 and CN2 traps were located at 0.09, at 0.17 eV below conduction band edge, respectively. In the case of both annealed samples at 200 and $300^{\circ}C$, the defect density of the CO trap increases and then decreases with an increase of N-doping concentration. On the other hands, the density of CN traps has little change according to an increase of N-doping concentration in the annealed sample at $300^{\circ}C$. According to the result of PICTS measurement for different N-doping concentration, we suggest that the CO trap could be controled by N-doping and the CN traps be stabilized by thermal annealing at $300^{\circ}C$.

  • The plasma membrane and microsomes, isolated from the cells treated with hematoporphyrm derivative (HpD) for 1 and 24 h, accumulated the aggregated porphyrin. The quantity of aggregated porphyrin was same in the plasma membrane and microsomes after isolating them from cells treated with HpD for 1 h whereas the microsomes accumulated higher quantity of aggregated porphyrin when cells were treated with HpD for 24 h. Photodynamic action of aggregated porphyrin on plasma membrane and microsomes was investigated using lipid specific fluorescent probes: 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatrine (DPH) and 1-(4-trimethylammonium), 6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatrine(TMA-DPH). The time dependent anisotropy of these probes in the membranes was measured and the decay of anisotropy was analyzed using wobbling in cone model. Upon irradiation both the plasma membrane and the microsomes showed an increase in the limiting anis~)tropy and order parameter and a decrease in the cone angle of the lipid probes. The increase in the limiting anisotropy was pronounced in membranes isolated from the cells treated with HpD for 24 h. Photoinduced change in the limiting anisotropy was dependent on the duration of incubation of cells with HpD before isolating the membranes. In both the membranes. the membrane core was affected more as compared to the outer leaflet. In addition to the structural changes, a decrease in Na$^+$-K$^+$-ATPase and NADPH cyt c reductase activity was also observed upon irradiation of HpD treated cells. Inhibition in NADPH cyt c reductase was more when cells were treated with HpD for 24 h, however, Na$^+$-K$^+$-ATPase activity did not depend on the duration of the treatment of cells with HpD before irradiation. Our results suggest that the extent of photoinduced perturbations in the membranes varies as a function of duration of the treatment of cells with HpD and the membrane core is more susceptible to the photodynamic action of aggregated porphyrin.

  • Photochemical modulation of Bragg-reflection wavelengths based on isomerization of an azobenzene (Azo) and subsequent change in reflectance was investigated in cholesteric liquid crystals (ChLCs) which reflect light in visible wavelength region. Irradiation at 366 nm, which causes an efficient transcis isomerization of Azo, led to change in reflected color of ChLCs toward shorter wavelengths with a concomitant lowering of phase transition. Reversible change in color was induced all-optically by alternate irradiation at effective wavelengths for reversible isomerization of Azo. A considerable variation in reflectance was also observed when the photoinduced change in color was measured by a probe light with the same handedness as the ChLCs. The spectral Position of selective light reflection in the initial states played an important role to produce a normal-mode and a reverse-mode switching in photoinduced modulation of reflectance of the ChLCs with respect to the probe light.
