A known $Hg^{2+}$ selective rhodamine B derivatised probe 1 was reinvestigated as a colorimetric and fluorescent probe for $Cu^{2+}$ through changing the applied solvent media. Probe 1 exhibited good selectivity and sensitivity to $Cu^{2+}$ in $CH_3CN-H_2O$ (7:3, v/v, HEPES 10 mM, pH 7.0) solution with a detection limit of $9.74{\times}10^{-7}$ M. The $Cu^{2+}$ sensing event was proved to be irreversible through hydrolysis of 1 to release rhodamine B.

Nucleophilic addition reactions of benzylamines (BA; $XC_6H_4CH_2NH_2$) to ethyl-${\alpha}$-cyanocinnamates (ECC;$YC_6H_4CH$=C(CN)COOEt) have been investigated in acetonitrile at $30.0^{\circ}C$. The rate is first order with respect to BA and ECC. The rate is slower than that expected from the additive effect of ${\sigma}^-$ or $R^-$ for the activating groups (CN and COOEt). Natural. bond orbital ${\pi}^{\ast}_{c=c}$ calculations show that the contribution of COOEt group may not be fully effective despite the coplanar molecular structure. The selectivity parameters including the cross-interaction constant (${\rho}_{xy}$ = -0.22) indicate that the addition occurs in a single step. The kinetic isotope effects ($k_H/k_D$=2.5-2.8) involving deuterated BA ($XC_6H_4CH_2ND_2$) nucleophiles and activation parameters (${\Delta}H^{\neq}=4{\sim}6\;kcal\;mol^{-1};{\Delta}S^{\neq}=-45{\sim}-52\;e.u.$) suggest a cyclic transition state in which N-$C_{\alpha}$ and H-$C_{\beta}$ bonds are formed concurrently.

The stereotype of flexible MOFs(Amino-MIL-53) and carbonized porous carbon prepared from renewable resources is successfully synthesized for $CO_2$ reduction application. The textural properties of these microporous materials are investigated, and their $CO_2$ storage capacity and separation performance are evaluated. Owing to the combined effects of $CO_2-Amino$ interaction and its flexibility, a $CO_2$ uptake of $2.5mmol\;g^{-1}$ is observed in Amino-MIL-53 at 20 bar 298 K. In contrast, $CH_4$ uptake in Amino-MIL-53 is very low up to 20 bar, implying potential sorbent for $CO_2/CH_4$ separation. Carbonized samples contain a small quantity of metal residues(K, Ca, Mg, S), resulting in naturally doped porous carbon. Due to the trace metal, even higher $CO_2$ uptake of $4.7mmol\;g^{-1}$ is also observed at 20 bar 298 K. Furthermore, the $CH_4$ storage capacity is $2.9mmol\;g^{-1}$ at 298 K and 20 bar. To evaluate the $CO_2$ separation performance, the selectivity based on ideal adsorption solution theory for $CO_2/CH_4$ binary mixtures on the presented porous materials is investigated.

In the previous paper (Bull. Korean Chem. Soc., 2011, 32, 2997), the hybrid molecules between ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid (ALA) and polyphenols (PPs) connected with neutral 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol linker (linker-1) showed new biological activity such as butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibition. In order to increase the binding affinity of the hybrid compounds to cholinesterase (ChE), the neutral 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol (linker 1) was switched to the cationic 2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethanol linker (linker 2). The $IC_{50}$ values of the linker-2 hybrid molecules for BuChE inhibition were lower than those of linker-1 hybrid molecules (except 9-2) and they also had the same great selectivity for BuChE over AChE (> 800 fold) as linker-1 hybrid molecules. ALA-acetyl caffeic acid (10-2, ALA-AcCA) was shown as an effective inhibitor of BuChE ($IC_{50}=0.44{\pm}0.24{\mu}M$). A kinetic study using 7-2 showed that it is the same mixed type inhibition as 7-1. Its inhibition constant (Ki) to BuChE is $4.3{\pm}0.09{\mu}M$.

In this study, the plasma etching of the TaN thin film with $CH_4/BCl_3/Ar$ gas chemistries was investigated. The etch rate of the TaN thin film and the etch selectivity of TaN to $SiO_2$ was studied as a function of the process parameters, including the amount of $CH_4$. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to investigate the chemical states of the surface of the TaN thin film.

Power to gas (P2G) is one of the energy storage technologies that can increase the storage period and storage capacity compared to the existing battery type. One of P2G technology produces hydrogen by decomposing water from renewable energy (electricity) and the other produces CH4 by reacting hydrogen with CO2. This study is an experimental study to produce CH4 by reacting CO2 of biogas with hydrogen using a 40 wt% Ni-Mg-Al catalyst and a commercial catalyst. Catalyst characteristics were analyzed through H2-TPR, XRD, and XPS instruments of 40% Ni catalyst and commercial catalyst. The effect on the CO2 conversion rate and CH4 selectivity was analyzed, and the activities of a 40% Ni catalyst and a commercial catalyst were compared. As a result of experiment, In the case of a 40 wt% catalyst, the maximum CO2 conversion rate showed 77% at the reaction temperature of 400℃. Meanwhile, the commercial catalyst showed a maximum CO2 conversion rate of 60% at 450℃. When 50% of CO was added to the CO2 methanation reaction, the CO2 conversion rate was increased by about 5%. This is considered to be due to the atmosphere in which the CO reaction can occur without the process of converting to CH4 after forming carbon and CO as intermediates in terms of the CO2 mechanism on the catalyst surface.

Etching of NiFe films covered with an organic photo-resist or Ti was successfully performed by an inductively coupled plasma-reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) system using $CHF_3/O_2/NH_3$ discharges exchanging $CHF_3$ for $CH_4$ gas gradually. Experimental results showed that the organic photo-resist mask can be applied to the NiFe etching. In the case of the Ti metal mask, it was found that the etching-selectivity Ti against NiFe was significantly varied from 7.3 to ${\sim}0$ by changing $CHF_3/CH_4/O_2/NH_3$ to $CH_4/O_2/NH_3$ discharges used in the ICP-RIE system. These results show that the present RIE of NiFe was dominated by a chemical reaction rather than a physical sputtering.

Characteristics of a plasma reactor for partial oxidation of methane, especially focused on the role and effectiveness of plasma chemistry, is investigated. Partial oxidation of methane is investigated using a rotating arc which is a three dimensional version of a typical glidingarc. The rotating arc has both the characteristics of equilibrium and non-equilibrium plasma. Non-equilibrium characteristics of the rotating gliding arc can be increased by rotating an elongated arc string attached at both the tip of inner electrode and the edge of outer electrode. In this way, plasma chemistry can be enhanced and hydrogen selectivity can reach almost 100% that is much higher than thermal equilibrium condition. As a result, the present study enables the strategic approach of the plasma reforming process by means of appropriate reactor design to maximize plasma effect and resulting in maximized reaction efficiency.

In this study, a novel microwave-matrix reformer was proposed to convert CH₄, which is a major component, to a high quality hydrogen energy. And to identify this performance, it was investigated for O₂/C ratio, steam feed amount and reformed gas recirculation which are affected for methane conversion and product gas yield. Through the parametric screening studies, optimal operating conditions were that O₂/C ratio, steam feed amount and recirculation rate were 1.1, 10 mL/min and 30 L/min. In this conditions, CH₄ conversion was 68.1%, H₂ selectivity 77.2 and H₂/CO ratio 2.62 which are possible applying SOFC stack for RPG (residential power generator).

Nitric oxide(NO) reduction by methanol was investigated over $La_2O_3$ catalysts in the presence and absence of oxygen. In the absence of $O_2$, $CH_3OH$ reduced NO to both $N_2$ and $N_2O$, with selectivity to $N_2$ formation decreasing from 81-88% at 623K to 47-71% at 723 K. With 1.2% $O_2$ in the feed, the rates were 4-8 times higher, but the selectivity to $N_2$ dropped from 50% at 623 K to 9% at 723 K. The specific activities with $La_2O_3$ for this reaction were higher than those for other reductants; for example, at 773 K with hydrogen a specific activity of $34\;{\mu}mol\;NO/sec{\cdot}m^2$ was obtained whereas that for methanol was $638\;{\mu}mol\;NO/sec{\cdot}m^2$. The Arrhenius plots were linear under differential reaction conditions, and the apparant activation energy was consistantly near 15 kcal/mol with $CH_3OH$. Linear partial pressure dependencies based on a power rate law were obtained and showed a near-zero order in $CH_3OH$ and a near-first order in $H_2$.
