The photocyclodehydrogenation reaction of o-terphenyl type compounds has been interpreted with perturbational molecular orbital theory. Results show that the mobile bond order for the first excited state is a good reactivity index and this approach is also consistent with the orbital symmetry conservation rule of Woodward and Hoffmann.

We investigate the kinetics of diffusion-influenced catalytic reactions occurring in small reaction volume. From a simple exact model study, we find that the reaction rate coefficient decreases with the size of reaction volume. The explicit expression for the average reaction rate constant is presented, which can be regarded as a generalization of well-known Collins-Kimball rate constant into the reactions occurring in a small reaction volume. It turns out that the traditional diffusion influenced reaction dynamics is followed by a single exponential relaxation phase with a rate constant dependent on the reaction volume for the catalytic reactions occurring in small reaction volumes.

The intrinsic reactivity of $S_N2$reaction in the gas phase was discussed MO theoretically (CNDO/2). We investigated the changes in geometry and electronic structure by means of the partial geometry optimization for reactantes, transition states, and products with various nucleophiles and leaving groups. We found that it was possible to discuss qualitatively the reactivity of $S_N2$ reaction with CNDO/2 MO calculation and the reactivity was controlled by basicity and of induced polarizability.

Nucleophilic reactivities of 1-and 2-phenethyl chlorides have been investigated MO-theoretically using the EHT method. It has been shown that results of population analysis are consistent with the experimental order of relative nucleophilic reactivities and furthermore the reversal of the reactivity order for the less reactive nucleophile, $I^-$, could also be explained satisfactorily.

Bimolecular substitution of $Cl^-$ at carbonyl carbon of $CH_3COCl$ has been investigated MO theoretically by calculating energy profiles (EHT) and electronic distribution (CNDO/2) for frontside and backside attacks at several distances of approach. Considerations of other experimental and MO data together with these calculations support the $S_N2-$retention mechanism for the substitution at carbonyl carbon.

Rate constants for the reaction of methyl chloroformate with substituted anilines, and for the halogen exchanges in phenyl chloroformate have been determined in acetone. Although the rate data can be interpreted equally well with the addition-elimination mechanism($S_AN$) involving an intermediate, results of MO and isotope effect studies strongly favor the synchronous ($S_N2$) mechanism for the reactions studied. It was concluded that for the fast reacting nucleophiles the transition state is of "late" type while for the slow reacting nucleophiles it is of "early" type.
