The thermodynamic parameters for the formation of gadolinium benzoate have been determined in the ionic medium of 0.1 M $NaClO_4$ at $25^{\circ}C$ in aqueous solution. The thermodynamic results indicate that the complex is stabilized by the excess entropy effect caused by the dehydration of reacting ions. The especially high stability of Gd(III)-benzoate compared to the monodentate ligand complexes might be ascribed to the conjugation effect of the benzene ring in the benzoate ligand. IR spectra show that benzoate anion acts as a bidentate ligand toward $Gd^{3+}$ to form a chelate ring in solid state. Magnetic susceptibility data of the compound were also obtained and well described by Curie-Weiss law in the temperature range 80${\sim}$300K.

양자점은 나노미터 크기의 반도체 결정으로 밴드갭에 따라 광학적, 전기적 성질이 달라지는 독특한 성질을 가지는 형광물질으로 활발히 연구되고 있다. 중금속을 기반으로 한 양자점은 높은 발광효율과 광안전성을 가지며, 가시광선 영역에서 빛을 내는 특징을 가지고 있다. 그러나 중금속을 사용하기 때문에 독성이 있어 인체나 환경에 유해하여 응용 연구에 제한적이다. 반면에, 탄소 기반의 양자점은 중금속 기반의 양자점과 비슷한 성질을 가질 뿐만 아니라, 높은 용해도와 낮은 독성으로 인해 생체적합성이 높다는 장점이 있다. 이를 이용하여 발광다이오드(LEDs), 태양전지, 광촉매 뿐만 아니라 바이오이미징, 바이오센서 등 생물학분야에도 응용 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Bottom-up 합성 방법으로 유기전구체를 이용하여 질소를 함유하고 있는 양친매성 탄소 양자점(N-GQDs)을 합성하였다. 합성에 사용한 유기전구체는 기존에 보고된 유기전구체와 다르게 반응 진행 중에도 pH 측정 결과 중성을 나타내며, 반응 온도($225^{\circ}C$)와 유사한 온도에서도 pH 값은 여전히 6.0 이상의 값을 나타냈다. 중성을 띄는 특징으로 인해 추가적인 산제거 과정이나 표면안정화 과정이 필요 없다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 합성된 N-GQDs는 높은 결정성의 원형구조를 가지며, 원자힘현미경(AFM) 분석을 통해 높이가 ~ 1.5 nm 미만으로 3층 이하의 두께로 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 또한, 적외선 분광법(FT-IR) 분석을 통해 O-H기, 방향족 고리의 C = C (또는 C = N)기 및 C-N기가 각각 ~3250, ~1670과 ~1140 cm-1에서 확인할 수 있다. 합성된 양자점을 유기태양전지의 active layer에 소량(2 wt%) 첨가하여 양자점의 광학적, 전기적 성질을 확인하였다. 비교군 유기태양전지보다 N-GQDs가 첨가된 유기태양전지의 외부양자효율(PCE)이 7.3%에서 8.4%로 약 20%가 증가하는 것을 보였다. 이는 양자점이 상대적으로 흡수가 약한 단파장 영역의 빛을 흡수하고 PL을 내어 active layer로 에너지 트랜스퍼 현상이 일어나 전자전달을 원활하게 해 주기 때문이다. 앞으로 본 연구의 가능성과 추가적인 연구를 통해 더 많은 분야에 응용되기를 기대한다.

1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride is a chemical substance in which three acyl chlorides are located at 1,3,5 position in the benzene ring, and is an important chemical for the area where the good physical and chemical properties are required through high degree of crosslinking. In particular, it is possible to form a three-dimensional structure having a certain pore size, it is used in various separation and purification fields. However, the high reactivity of acyl chloride has the advantage of a fast reaction rate, which means that it is difficult to control chemically to have a certain performance in other aspects. Therefore, in this study, we observed how the chemical change of 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride affected the membrane performance.

A new alkali developable photosensitive poly(amic acid) (PAA-0) with transmittance at 400 nm was synthesized from cyclobutane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl-3,5-diamino-benzoate and 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl disiloxane in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. Photosensitivity of the PAA-0 was investigated at 365-400 nm in the presence of a photoinitiator using a high pressure mercury lamp. The photo-cured poly(amic acid) was insoluble toward aqueous 2.38 wt% tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution. Negative pattern of the PAA-0 with 25 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ resolution was obtained by developing with 2.38 wt% tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution after exposure of 600 mJ/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in the presence of 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl-acetophenone as a photoinitiator. The patterned poly(amic acid) was converted to polyimide by thermal curing at 25$0^{\circ}C$ for 50 min, which showed chemical resistance against photoresist stripper as well as good transmittance at 400 nm.

This study conducted a chemical experiment on the Leisegang phenomenon, which is known to be the principle of rhyolite formation, and analyzed the results. Even if the same chemical elements precipitated, the shape of Leisegang rings was different according to the condition of medium and depending on inner electrolyte and outer electrolyte. The experiment used agar, gelatin and mung-bean jelly as media. We prepared 0.01M inner electrolyte containing agar 1%, gelatin 2% and mung-bean jelly 5% and curdled the solution at room temperature for 12 hours and, as a result, we obtained viscosity optimal for experimenting on the diffusion of outer electrolyte, and Leisegang rings appeared clearly according to the characteristic of each chemical element. In $PbI_2$ with solubility product($K_{sp}$) of $7.9{\times}10^{-9}$ the intervals of Leisegang rings caused by the reaction of inner electrolyte 0.01M KI and outer electrolyte 25% $Pb(NO_3){_2}$ were narrow between 0.01cm and 0.12cmm but increased gradually, but in with of $8.3{\times}10^{-17}$ the intervals of Leisegang rings caused by the reaction of inner electrolyte 0.01M KI and outer electrolyte 25% $AgNO_3$ were between 0.7cm and 0.45cm and decreased gradually. This suggests that, in the chemical formation of Leisegang rings, the interval and size of the rings are correlated with the solubility product of the precipitates.

Base hydrolysis of 7-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (HC) and 7-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one-4-acetic acid (HCA) in aqueous-methanol and aqueous-acetone mixtures were studied kinetically at temperature range from 283 to 313 K. The activation parameters of the reactions were evaluated and discussed. Moreover, the change in the activation energy barrier of the investigated compounds from water to water-methanol and water-acetone mixtures was estimated from the kinetic data. It is observed that the change in activation barriers is more or less the same for the hydrolysis of HC and HCA. Base hydrolysis of HC and HCA follows a rate law with $k_{obs}=k_2[OH^-]$. The decrease in the rate constants of HC and HCA as the proportion of methanol or acetone increases is due to the destabilization of $OH^-$ ion. The high negative values of entropy of activation support the proposal mechanism, i.e. the investigated reaction takes place via the formation of an intermediate complex. Moreover, these values refer to the rigidity and stability of the intermediate complex. Thus, the ring opening of the intermediate complex would be the rate controlling step.

The formation and dissociation rates of $Zn^{2+}$ Complexes with l,4,7,10-tetraaza-13,16-diox-acyclooctadecane-N,N',N",N'"-tetraacetic acid (1), 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-13,16- dioxacyclooctadecane-N,N',N",N'"-tetramethylacetic acid (2), and 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-13,16- dioxacyclooctadecane-N,N',N",N'"-tetrapropionic acid(3) have been measured by stopped-flow and conventional spectrophotometry. Observations were made at 25.0$\pm$0.1 $^{\circ}C$ and at an ionic strength of 0.10 M NaClO$_4$. The formation reactions of $Zn^{2+}$ ion with 1 and 2 took place by the rapid formation of an intermediate complex (ZnH$_3L^+$) in which the $Zn^{2+}$ ion is incompletely coor-dinated. This might then lead to be a final product in the rate-determining step.ln the pH range 4.76-5.76, the diprotonated (H2L2-) form is the kinetically active species despite of its low concentration. The stability con-stants (log$K_{(ZnH$_3$3$L^+$)}$) and specific water-assisted rate constants (koH) of intermediate complexes have been deter-mined from the kinetic data. The dissociation reactions of $Zn^{2+}$ complexes of 1,2, and 3 were investigated with $Cu^{2+}$ ions as a scavenger in acetate buffer. All complexes exhibit acid-independent and acid-catalyzed con-tributions. The effect of buffer and $Cu^{2+}$ concentration on the dissociation rate has also been investigated. The ligand effect on t dissociation rate of $Zn^{2+}$ complexes is discussed in terms of the side-pendant armsand the chelate ring sizes of the ligands.

The electrochemical behavior of 2-Amino-1-cyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylate (acdc) was investigated by the use of polarography, cyclic voltammetry and cathodic stripping voltammetry at glassy carbon electrode. In this study, it was found that the dimer of the acdc was deposited on the glassy carbon electrode via one-electron oxidation process at +0.25V vs. SCE. The ring formation between two dithio group occurs along with the elimination of one sulfur atom. The elimination of sulfur atom occurs via two electron oxidation process at +0.8V vs. SCE. The most sensitive cathodic stripping peak due to the formation of the dimer was observed at -0.85V vs. SCE. The peak relationship between current and concentration was fairly linear in the range of 3${\times}10^{-5}{\sim}1.0{\times}10^{-6}$M. The preconcentration procedure enhanced the sensitivity about 100 times for the analysis of acdc using diffusion current. Detection limit was found to be $2.5{\times}10^{-7}$M and relative standard deviation was ${\pm}$4.1 % at $5.0{\times}10^{-6}$M DC polarography.

From a complex systems perspective, ecohydrological systems in forests may be characterized with (1) large networks of components which give rise to complex collective behaviors, (2) sophisticated information processing, and (3) adaptation through self-organization and learning processes. In order to demonstrate such characteristics, we applied the recently proposed 'process networks' approach to a temperate deciduous forest in Gwangneung National Arboretum in Korea. The process network analysis clearly delineated the forest ecohydrological systems as the hierarchical networks of information flows and feedback loops with various time scales among different variables. Several subsystems were identified such as synoptic subsystem (SS), atmospheric boundary layer subsystem (ABLS), biophysical subsystem (BPS), and biophysicochemical subsystem (BPCS). These subsystems were assembled/disassembled through the couplings/decouplings of feedback loops to form/deform newly aggregated subsystems (e.g., regional subsystem) - an evidence for self-organizing processes of a complex system. Our results imply that, despite natural and human disturbances, ecosystems grow and develop through self-organization while maintaining dynamic equilibrium, thereby continuously adapting to environmental changes. Ecosystem integrity is preserved when the system's self-organizing processes are preserved, something that happens naturally if we maintain the context for self-organization. From this perspective, the process networks approach makes sense.

Although humans exist as Homo Empathicus, human society is actually constantly divided and conflicted between groups. The human empathy response is very sensitive to the justice of others, and depending on the level of others' justice, they may feel empathy or schadenfreude to the suffering of them. However, our empathy to others' suffering are not always fair, and have inherent limitations of ingroup-biased empathy. Depending on whether the suffering other persons belongs to an ingroup or an outgroup, we may feel biased empathy or biased schadenfreude to them without even realizing it. Recent advances in information and communication technology facilitate biased access to ingroup-related SNS or ingroup media, thereby deepening the establishment of a more biased semantic information network related groups. These processes, through interacting with the inherent limitation of empathy, can form a vicious cycle of more biased ingroup empathy and ingroup-related activities, and accelerate divisions and conflicts. This research investigated the properties and limitations of empathy by reviewing studies on the neural mechanism of empathy. By examining the relationship between empathy and justice from a neuroscientific point of view, this research tried to illuminate the modern society of division and conflict in a different dimension from the classical perspective of social science.
