Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulations were performed to calculate the vapor-liquid coexistence properties for the binary mixtures $CO_2/CH_3OH$, $CO_2/C_2H_5OH$, and $CO_2/CH_3CH_2CH_2OH.$ The configurational bias Monte Carlo method was used in the simulation of alcohol. Density of the mixture, composition of the mixture, the pressure-composition diagram, and the radial distribution function were calculated at vapor-liquid equilibrium. The composition and the density of both vapor and liquid from simulation agree considerably well with the experimental values over a wide range of pressures. The radial distribution functions in the liquid mixtures show that $CO_2$ molecules interact more stogly with methyl group than methylene group of $C_2H_5OH$ and $CH_3CH_2CH_2OH$ due to the steric effects of the alcohol molecules.

Reaction of the Fe(II) complex of a fully saturated tetradentate macrocyclic ligand [Fe([14]aneN$_4)(CH_3CN)_2]^{2+}$, where [14]ane$N_4$ represents 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, with $O_2$ has been investigated in acetonitrile solutions. [Fe([14]aneN$_4)(CH_3CN)_2]^{2+}$ reacts with oxygen to yield low spin Fe(III) species, [Fe([14]aneN$_4)(CH_3CN)_2]^{3+}$, which undergoes metal ion assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of the macrocyclic ligand to produce low spin Fe(II) complex, [Fe([14]tetraeneN$_4)(CH_3CN)_2]^{2+}$. The macrocyclic ligand in [Fe([14]tetraeneN$_4)(CH_3CN)_2]^{2+}$ is highly unsaturated and its double bonds are conjugated. [Fe([14]dieneN$_4)(CH_3CN)_2]^{2+}$ and [Fe([14]dieneN$_4)(CH_3CN)_2]^{3+}$ are isolated as the intermediates of the reaction. The Fe(II) complexes involved in this oxidative dehydrogenation reaction react with carbon monoxide to give respective carbon monoxide derivatives, [FeL$(CH_3CN)(CO)]^{2+}$ (where L = macrocyclic ligand). The values of $v_{CO}$ of [FeL$(CH_3CN)(CO)]^{2+}$, and the electrochemical oxidation potentials of Fe(II) ${\to}$ Fe(III) and the qualitative stability toward air-oxidation for [FeL(CH$_3CN_2)^{2+}$ increase as the degree of unsaturation of the macrocyclic ligands increase.

Ni 8 wt.%-doped tin oxide ($SnO_2$) thick films were fabricated into gas sensors by the method of screen printing onto alumina substrates. The particle size of $SnO_2$ was controlled by changing the ball-mill time between 0~120 h. The structural and morphological properties of these thick films were investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The structural properties of $SnO_2$ powders showed a tetragonal phase with (110) dominant orientation. The particle size of the $SnO_2$:Ni powders after ball-mill of 120 h was about 0.05 ${\mu}m$. The gas sensitivity (S = Rg/Ra) to 5 ppm $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas was measured at room temperature by comparing the resistance in air (Ra) with that of the target gases (Rg). The sensitivity of the $SnO_2$ gas sensors was enhanced by increasing the ball-mill time. There was an association between the sensitivity of both the $CH_4$ gas and the $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas and the particle size of the $SnO_2$. $SnO_2$ gas sensors prepared by 72 h ball-mill showed a sensitivity of about 13 to 5 ppm $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas. The response time of the $SnO_2$:Ni gas sensors to the $CH_4$ gas was about 20 seconds.

Nano-sized $SnO_2$ thick films were prepared by a screen-printing method onto $Al_2O_3$ substrates. The sensing characteristics were investigated by measuring the electrical resistance of each sensor in a test box as a function of the detection gas. The nano-sized $SnO_2$ thick film sensors were treated in a $N_2$ atmosphere. The structural properties of the nano $SnO_2$with a rutile structure according to XRD showed a (110) dominant $SnO_2$ peak. The particle size of $SnO_2$:Ni nano powders at Ni 8 wt% was about 45 nm, and the $SnO_2$ particles were found to contain many pores according to the SEM analysis. The sensitivity of the nano $SnO_2$-based sensors was measured for 5 ppm $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas at room temperature by comparing the resistance in air with that in the target gases. The results showed that the best sensitivity of $SnO_2$:Ni and $SnO_2$:Co sensors for $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas at room temperature was observed in $SnO_2$:Ni sensors doped with 8 wt% Ni. The response time of the $SnO_2$:Ni gas sensors was 10 seconds and recovery time was 15 seconds for the $CH_4$ and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gases.

Reaction of Rh $(ClO_4)(CO)(PPh_3)_2$ (1) with trans-$C_6H_5CH = CHCH_2OH$ (2) produces a new cationic rhodium(Ⅰ) complex, $[Rh(trans-C_6H_5CH = CHCHO)(CO)(PPh_3)_2]ClO_4$ (3) where 2 is coordinated through the oxygen atom but not through the olefinic group. At room temperature under nitrogen, complex 1 catalyzes dehydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, and isomerization of 2 to give $trans-C_6H_5CH$ = CHCHO (4), trans-$C_6H_5CH = CHCH_3$ (5) and $C_6H_5CH_2CH_2CHO$ (6), respectively, and oligomerization of 2 whereas under hydrogen, complex 1 catalyzes hydrogenation of 2 to give $C_6H_5CH_2CH_2CH_2OH$ (7) and hydrogenolysis of 2 to 5 which is further hydrogenated to $C_6H_5CH_2CH_2CH_3$ (8). The dehydrogenation and hydrogenolysis of 2 with 1 suggest an interaction between the rhodium and the oxygen atom of 2, whereas the isomerization and hydrogenation of 2 with 1 indicate an interaction between the rhodium and the olefinic system of 2.

Solvolysis rate constants for methylchloroformate, $CH_3O$(CO)Cl, methylthiono-chloroformate, $CH_3O$(CS)Cl, and methylthiolchloroformate, $CH_3S$(CO)Cl, have been determined conductometrically in acetone-water and acetonitrile-water mixtures, and activation parameters, ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$, have been derived. Results show that in water-rich regions the order of rate increases as $$CH_3O(CO)Cl while in dipolar aprotic solvent-rich region this order reverses. The plots of log k vs. solvent parameters, Y, $\frac{D-1}{2D+1}$ and log($H_2$) show that the order of rate increase in water-rich region is the results of increase in $S_N1$ character. It is concluded that $CH_3S$(CO)Cl solvolyzes via $S_N1$ mechanism whereas $CH_3O$(CO)Cl reacts via $S_N2$ and $CH_3O$(CS)Cl via intermediate mechanism in water-rich region.

The complex 1 $([Cp*Fe(CO)_2]_2-(\mu-CH=CH-CH=CH))$ which have butadiene as a bridge were synthesized from $Cp*(CO)_2FeK$ and cis-3,4-dichlorocyclobutene. The derivatives of complex 1 where one or two carbonyl groups are replaced by phosphine ligands have been prepared by photochemical substitution. The new derivatives $([Cp*Fe(L)_2]_2-(\mu-CH=CH-CH=CH))$ where L = $(Ph_2PCH_2CH_2PPh_2)$ and $([Cp*Fe(CO)(L)]_2-(\mu-CH=CH-CH=CH))$ where L : $PPh_3$ have been characterized from $^^1H-$, $^^13C-$,$^^31P-NMR$ and elemental analysis. Obtained complexes have been studied in electrochemical experiment and UV/VIS-near-IR. The mixed-valence radical cation forms of complex 2, 3 species were found to be delocalized as the Class III. Based on the separation of the waves ($\triangle E$ : 0.470 ~ 0.605 V), the efficiency of electronic communication between two metal centers of cation species leading to stabilization relative to neutral species. The phosphine-substitute complexes (2, 3) displays two reversible oxidation waves and oxidation state of metal centers-dependent color change, electrochromism, was observed from yellow to orange and deep blue in methylene chloride.

The effects of a Ni coating on the sensing properties of nano ZnO:Ni based gas sensors were studied for $CH_4$ and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gases. Nano ZnO sensing materials were prepared by the hydrothermal reaction method. The Ni coatings on the nano ZnO surface were deposited by the hydrolysis of zinc chloride with $NH_4OH$. The weight % of Ni coating on the ZnO surface ranged from 0 to 10 %. The nano ZnO:Ni gas sensors were fabricated by a screen printing method on alumina substrates. The structural and morphological properties of the nano ZnO : Ni sensing materials were investigated by XRD, EDS, and SEM. The XRD patterns showed that nano ZnO : Ni powders with a wurtzite structure were grown with (1 0 0), (0 0 2), and (1 0 1) dominant peaks. The particle size of nano ZnO powders was about 250 nm. The sensitivity of nano ZnO:Ni based sensors for 5 ppm $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas was measured at room temperature by comparing the resistance in air with that in target gases. The highest sensitivity of the ZnO:Ni sensor to $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas was observed at Ni 4 wt%. The response and recovery times of 4 wt% Ni coated ZnO:Ni gas sensors were 14 s and 15 s, respectively.

The addition effect of $CH^3Br$ on the ignition of methane was investigated in the temperature range of 1537-1920 K behind reflected shock waves. The ignition delay times were measured by the sudden increase of pres-sure and OH emission in the $CH_4-O_2-Ar$ system containing small amount of $CH_3Br.$ The delay times of mix-tures with $CH_3Br$ were shorter than those without $CH_3Br.$ The promotion of ignition by $CH_3Br$ was caused by the relative fast decomposition rate in additive. To clarify the addition effect of $CH_3Br$ from the viewpoint of the reaction mechanism, computational analyses were performed in $CH_4-CH_3Br-O_2-Ar$ mixtures.
