The photoinduced electron transfer reactions of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) in various polar solvents were studied by measuring time-resolved fluorescence. The temperature dependence on the fluorescence decay rate in acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol and buthanol was carried out to obtain the activation energy and Arrehnius factor for the photoinduced electron transfer reaction. It was found that as the dielectric constant of the solvent increases, the activation energy and the reaction rate increase. This implys that the Arrehnius factor is important in controlling the photoinduced electron transfer reaction rate. In water, TMPD exists in three forms (cationic, protonated and neutral forms) due to the high dielectric constant and strong proton donating power of water. The photoinduced electron transfer reaction was found to be very fast (< 50 ps) and also the long liverd component in the fluorescence decay profile attributable to the photoexcited protonated form of TMPD was observed. Probably, the reaction pathway and the reaction coordinate seem to be different depending on the solvents studied here.

In the present investigation twelve indigenous medicinal plants have been screened for their antiimplantation activity in albino rats. The plant material was subjected for soxhlation successively and separately from non-polar solvents to polar solvents i.e., petroleum ether benzene and ethanol. Out of these three extracts the petroleum ether extract of seeds of Citrus medica, aerial part of Oxalis corniculata and Tinospora cardifolia have showed maximum antiimplantation activity. Ethanol extract of leaves of Cardiospermum helicacabum, roots of Echinops echinatus, leaves of Melia azedarach, seeds of Momordica charantia and bark of Terminalia bellirica have shown maximum antiimplantation activity amongst the three extracts of each plant material screened. Though all the three extracts of seeds of Annona squamosa and leaves of Zizyphus jujube screened for antiimplantation activity, no extract has showed any loss in implantation. The details of the results obtained are discussed.

The effects of chemical modification on the enzymes' stability in polar organic solvents were studied with subtilisin Carlsberg in dimethylformamide-water mixtures as a model system. Three out of nine lysine residues of subtilisin Carlsberg were coupled to either trimellilic or pyromellitic anhydrides thereby, for each lysine residue modified, resulting in the net replacement of one basic amino group by two or three acidic carboxyl groups, respectively. In water at 60$^{\circ}C$, both trimellitic and pyromellitic anhydride-modified subtilisin Carlsberg showed increased thermostability by 2.6 times and 1.6 times, respectively, as compared to that of unmodified enzyme. In 70% dimethylformamide at 25$^{\circ}C$, however, only pyromellitic acrid was shown to enhance the stability of subtilisin Carlsberg by 5.5 times increasing the half life time of irreversible inactivation from 4.9hr for unmodified enzyme to 27.8hr for modified enzyme.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to enhance the application of analytical method of polar solvents(alcohols) by GCOTC (gas chromatography open tubular column) through the system suitability test(SST) to estimate the whole chromatographic system performance(integral part). Methods: To perform the SST, carried out repeatability(n=6) as analytical method of polar solvents by GCOTC, got the retention time($t_R$), standard deviation(${\sigma}_{n-1}$) of $t_R$, baseline width($w_b=4{\sigma}_{n-1}$) and calculated dead time($t_m$) by $v_m=d^2{\pi}L(f/4)$ and $v_m=t_m$ x flow rate. Results: In this experiment, obtained the basic data, there were $t_m=2$ min, methanol($t_R=3.569$, ${\sigma}_{n-1}=0.01$, $w_b=0.04$), ethanol ($t_R=3.892$, ${\sigma}_{n-1}=0.004$, $w_b=0.016$), isopropanol($t_R=4.209$, ${\sigma}_{n-1}=0.004$, $w_b=0.016$). By using these data, calculated the corrected retention time($t_R{^{\prime}}$), capacity factor(k), separation factor(${\alpha}$), number of theoretical plate(n) and resolution($R_s$) for SST and got the good results. Conclusions: Through the SST, could reconfirm the whole chromatographic performance system(integral part) for analytical method of polar solvents by GCOTC. Therefore, this analytical method expect to be widely applied at the related areas.

정상 액체 크로마토그래피에 사용되는 2-propanol / hexane 혼합용매계와 ethyl acetate / hexane 혼합용매계에 대하여 전 용매조성에 대한 극성도 지수 ${\pi}^*$, $\alpha$ , $\beta$값을 측정하였다. 이 중 hexane/ethyl acetate계는 전 조성에 대하여 $\alpha$ 가 0으로 정의되므로 ${\pi}^*$와 $\beta$값만을 측정하였다. 기존의 문헌치 ${\pi}^*$, $\alpha$ , $\beta$와 일관성이 있는 극성도 지수를 구하기 위하여 본 연구의 실측치와 문헌치간에 좋은 직선상관성을 가정하여 보정하였으며 최종 보정된 혼합용매 극성도 지수의 용매 조성에 따른 변화는 각 용매성분의 화학적 성질에서 예측할 수 있는 경향에 부합하는 결과를 보였다. 이들 두 용매계에 대하여 관찰된 일반적인 경향은 다음과 같다. 극성도 대 조성배의 그래프에서 ${\pi}^*$값은 더 극성인 용매의 조성비가 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 보이고, $\alpha$ 와 $\beta$ 값은 더 극성인 용매의 조성비가 0일 때 최소값을 갖고 조성비의 증가에 따라 극대치를 이룬 다음 다시 감소하는 특이한 경향을 보였다.

Poly(1-dodecyl-2,5-pyrrylene vinylene) (PDPV) has an extended 1t-conjugated structure and exhibits characteristic spectroscopic features. The PDPV we prepared has an absorption maximum at 510nm and its long absorption tail at ca. 750nm in methylene chloride is due to the long 1t-conjugated system connected to vinyl group. The large red-shift of emission was 625nm upon excitation at 480nm, which suggests the existence of a low emissive state. The emission of PDPV in less-polar solvents decreased markedly relative to that in the more-polar solvents; this observation was ascribed possibly to quenching by a strong vibrational mode of the dodecyl groups of PDPV in less-polar solvents. Furthermore, the emission from the high-energy side had a single decay component (0.1㎱, 49.96%), while that from the low-energy side had two components (0.6㎱, 27.1 %; 2.7㎱, 22.87%). We characterized the redox properties of PDPV by cyclic voltammetry. Every redox peak showed irreversible behavior; the oxidation peaks appeared at 1.7,0.8, and 0.6V and the reduction peak at -0.5V.

To reduce the dependence of wool dyeing on the temperature several solvents with different properties and structures were added to the dye bath of C. I. Acid Yellow 42. Nearly the same total solubility parameters(${\delta}_t$) of solvents as those of wool fiber and hydrophobic part of the dyestuff were needed to increase disaggregation of dye molecules, loosening the wool fiber and wickabilty of dyeing solution; besides, the large surface tension(${\gamma}$) value of the solvents and the well balanced values of the three-component Hansen solubility parameters such as dispersion(${\delta}_d$), polar(${\delta}_p$), and hydrogen(${\delta}_h$) bonding parameters were required. Among the added solvents dimethyl phthalate(DMP) and acetophenone(AP) were satisfied with these conditions and worked the most successfully in the low temperature wool dyeing. Their effectiveness proven by the dyeing rate and the activation energy ($E_a$) of the dyeing was in the order of DMP > AP > DBE > CH > M >NONE. In conclusion the total solubility parameters(${\delta}_t$), the three-component Hansen parameters and the surface tension(${\gamma}$) of DMP and AP could be the guidelines to select suitable solvents for low temperature wool dyeing.

The quantitative assessment of the penetration of organic solvents through skin is necessary for the evaluation of health hazards in occupational environments. We investigated the rate of dermal penetration when mixed or single forms of organic solvents were placed into a diffusion cell in vitro or into an experimental animal in vivo. The diffusion rates of methanol. toluene, and styrene were 6.07, 0.129, and 0.046 mg/$cm^2$/h, respectively. When skin was exposed to the mixed solvent of methanol and toluene, the penetration rate of toluene did not change significantly (0.110 mg/$cm^2$/h). However, the rate of methanol penetration increased to 43.90 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$/h. The penetration rate of methanol also increased significantly to 54.69 mg/$cm^2$/h by mixing it with styrene. The concentration of methanol in the blood was monitored during the epicutaneous exposure in rats. The blood concentration of methanol was increased by mixing methanol with toluene as seen in the in vitro experiments. These results showed that the penetration rate of organic solvents would be enhanced by mixing them with other solvents.

This paper presents a screening protocol for the selection of solvents available for the solvent extraction desalination process. The desalination solvents hypothetically and theoretically require the capability of (1) Forming hydrogen bonds with water, (2) Absorbing some water molecules into its non-polar solvent layer, (3) Changing solubility for water-solvent separation, and (4) Rejecting salt ions during absorption. Similar to carboxylic acids, amine solvents are solvent chemicals applicable for desalination. The key parameter for selecting the potential solvent was the octanol-water partitioning coefficient (Kow) of which preferable value for desalination was in the range of 1-3. Six of the 30 amine solvents can absorb water and have a variable, i.e., temperature swing solubility with water molecule for water-solvent separation. Also, the hydrogen bonding interaction between solvent and water must be stronger than the ion-dipole interaction between water and salt, which means that the salt ions must be broken from the water and only water molecules absorbed for the desalination. In the final step, three solvents were selected as desalination solvents to remove salt ions and recover water. The water recovery of these three solvents were 15.4 %, 2.8 %, 10.5 %, and salt rejection were 76 %, 98 %, 95 %, respectively. This study suggests a new screening protocol comprising the theoretical and experimental approaches for the selection of solvents for the desalination method which is a new and challenges the desalination process in the future.

The photophysical properties of coumarin 6 laser dye have been studied in two solvents; ethanol and acetonitrile using steady-state fluorescence depolarization technique. The experimentally measured reorientation time of coumarin 6 is more or less the same in given solvents at particular temperature. It is found that coumarin 6 rotates slower in acetonitrile than in ethanol especially at higher values of viscosity over temperature. We also measure the ground and excited state dipole moments of coumarin 6 by solvent perturbation method. The results found that excited state dipole moment is greater than ground state dipole moment, which indicates that excited state is more polar than the ground state.
