Since mobile source is a major source of VOCs, quantifying emissions from motor vehicles is an important factor to control VOCs in atmosphere. In this study, in order to evaluate tailpipe VOCs emissions from motor vehicles, mass emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds from 45 vehicles were determined. Measurements were made on a chassis dynamometer using CVS-75 mode and speed specific drive modes. Target VOCs are 53 compounds determined as the volatile ozone precursors. The individual VOCs composition of vehicle emission and emission rates were also determined. In case of gasoline vehicles, VOCs emission from over 80,000 km vehicles were about 46% larger than less 80,000 km vehicles. The difference in benzene and toluene according to driving mileage was 44% and 26% respectively. The composition of VOCs were different by fuel type. The order of VOCs composition was paraffins>aromatics>olefins in gasoline vehicle emissions, paraffins>olefins>aromatics in light duty diesel vehicle emissions. The VOCs emissions were decreased as vehicle speed increasing. These results will be used to calculate total VOCs emissions from automobiles in the future.

DME has received much attention because of its possible use as a fuel and a chemical feedstock. Chemical conversion of DME to olefin (DTO) over various SAPO-34 catalysts was carried out using a fixed bed reactor. Main products of the reaction were light olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butenes. The best reaction conditions for high life time of the catalyst and high selectivity of light olefins were a reaction temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and a WHSV of $3.54h^{-1}$. In addition, it was found that the deactivation of a SAPO-34 catalyst can be significantly suppressed by the addition of $ZrO_2$ as a supporter.

In this study, we prepared poly(ethylene-ter-1-hexene-ter-divinylbenzene) using various metallocene catalysts with trityl tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate/triisobutylaluminium cocatalysts system. We tried rac-$Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2$, rac-$SiMe_2(Ind)_2ZrCl_2$, and rac-$SiMe_2(2-Me-Ind)_2ZrCl_2$ to choose optimum metallocene catalyst, comparing with catalytic activity, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution of the terpolymers. To study the effects of chain length of high ${\alpha}$-olefins on the terpolymerization, we synthesized the terpolymers using 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene or 1-dodecene. We characterized chemical composition, thermal properties, and mechanical properties of the terpolymers.

It was explored, whether the usual course of the ozonolysis of olefins can be modified with the help of pyridine. In the First step, the ozone oxidation of trans-3-hexene was performed with and without pyridine in the inert solvents n-pentane and dichloromethane. In addition, base catalyzed decompositions of monomeric and polymeric ozonides were also examined to identify the reaction mechanism. The reaction products were identified by modern analytical tools. The results of this work showed that reactions of ozone with olefins in the absence of pyridine in aprotic solvents gave, one hand, dominantly peroxidic products, namely monomeric and polymeric ozonides. The other hand, they in the presence of pyridine gave only the non-peroxidic products, namely propionaldehyde and rearranged propionic acid without peroxidic products. It seems, also, that the pyridine-catalyzed isomerization of the Criegee zwitterion of trans-3-hexene to give propionic acid takes place in the ozone oxidation of trans-3-hexene.

The photophysical and photochemical properties of khellin were compared with those of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP). Quantum yields of fluorescence and triplet formation decreases as solvent polarity increases, which is opposite to 8-MOP, and photocycloadditivity of khellin to olefins is much lower than that of 8-MOP. Electron ejection from khellin by laser flash was not observed, but observed from 8-MOP. As models of 4',5'-monoadducts of khellin or 8-MOP with thymine base, khellin<>dimethylfumarate 4',5'-monoadduct (KDF) was also compared with 8-MOP<>thymidine 4',5'-monoadduct (F-2) in those properties to give some insight on the second-step biadduct formation resulting in cross-links of DNA duplex. KDF and F-2 were very similar to khellin and 8-MOP in photophysical properties, respectively. However, KDF did not form adducts with various olefins, and thus it is thought that 2,3-double bond of chromone moiety in khellin is hardly reactive in contrast with 3,4-double bond of coumarin moiety in 8-MOP. These results indicate that khellin is fairly photostable compound, a poor type Ⅰ photodynamic sensitizer and producer of ${O_2}^{-}$ which is some cause of phototoxic erythemal reactions and undesirable side effects. Therefore khellin is safer to use than 8-MOP in photochemotherapy of some skin diseases. Although khellin is much less reactive than 8-MOP, khellin must be also a monofunctional drug. Since khellin is, however, as effective as 8-MOP in photochemotherapy of some skin diseases, it is suggested that khellin may be different from 8-MOP in the action mechanism.

The cycloaddition reactions of the N-heterocyclic carbene boryl azide with methyl acrylate, butenone, and hexafluoropropene have been investigated theoretically. Solvent effects on these reactions have been explored by calculation that included a polarizable continuum model (PCM) for the solvent (C6H6). The title reaction could produce 4- and 5-substituted 1,2,3-triazolines, respectively. The reaction systems have the higher chemical reactivity with the low barriers and could be favored. Yet the smaller differences have been found to occur in energetics, and the cycloaddition reactions occur for s-trans conformations over s-cis conformations. The calculations indicated that the cycloaddition reaction of the alkenes have certain regioselectivity.

Two new C2-symmetric chiral $\alpha-$ and w-Diimines incorporating bulky ferrocenylethylamine and their copper(I)complexes have been synthesized and characterized by analytical and various spectroscopic techniques. The catalytic activities of these complexes have been tested in the asymmetric cyclopropanation of a series of olefins with some diazoacetates to achieve varying degree of dia- and enantio-selectivities depending on the nature of the ligand, the substrates, and the reagents. Some mechanistic implication has been made with regard to the interactions among all these chemical species.

Facilitated transport membranes for the separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures have long been of interest in separation membrane science because olefins, such as propylene and ethylene, which are important chemicals in petrochemical industries, are currently separated by energy-intensive cryogenic distillation processes. Recently, solid polymer electrolyte membranes containing silver ions have demonstrated remarkable performance in the separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures in the solid state and, thus, they can be considered as alternatives to cryogenic distillation. Here, we review recent progress, and critical issues affecting in the use of facilitated olefin transport membranes; in particular, we provide a general overview with reference to carrier properties, transport mechanisms, and separation performance.

Photoaddition reactions of ο-benzoquinones to some organic molecules were ivestigated to yield three types of photoadducts. Irradiation (350nm UV light) of a dichloromethane solution of tetrahal-1, 2- benzoquinones and 1, 4-diphenylbutadiene yielded 1, 3-dienes, which was found to be used to synthesize 1-phenylphenanthrenes. The 1, 3-dienes were also produced, when irradiated tetrahalo--1, 2-benzoquinones and 1,4-dipenylbut-1-en-3-yne in the similar conditions, which was applied to get 9-phenylphenanthrenes. An enolic compound come from the tautomerization of dibenzoylmethane was found to add to ο-benzoquinones to give, 1, 4-dioxenes and 1, 5-diketones as the major products. Although depenylbutadiyne did not add to ο-benzoquinones, diphenylacetylene added to ο-benzoquinones to give $\rho$-quinomethanes as well as two isomeric $\rho$-quinomethanes. One-way photoisomerism was observed for two isomeric $\rho$-quinomethanes.
