The structures and complexation energies of penta-O-alkylated 1b and penta-O-tert-butyl ester 1e of p-tert-butylcalix[5]arene and their simplified structures (2b and 2e) toward a series of alkyl ammonium guests have been calculated by a semi-empirical AM1 method. For AM1 calculations, complexation efficiencies of the simplified host 2e are very similar to the values of host 1e. The complexes of simplified host 2e with alkyl ammonium ions also have been optimized by ab initio HF/6-31G method. The calculated complexation efficiencies for 2e by ab initio method have been found to be bigger in magnitude than the values obtained by AM1 calculations for linear alkyl ammonium guests. Calculation results show that all of the calix[5]aryl derivatives investigated in this study have much better complexation ability toward ammonium cation without alkyl group compared with other alkyl ammonium guests. Ab initio calculations also well duplicate the molecular discriminating behaviors of calix[5]arene derivative 2e between butyl ammonium ions: $n-BuNH_3^+\;>\;iso-BuNH_3^+\;>\;sec-BuNH_3^+\;>\;tert-BuNH_3^+$.

The structures and energies of p-tert-butylcalix[4]crown-6-ether(1) in various conformers and their alkyl ammonium complexes have been calculated by ab initio HF/6-31G quantum mechanics method. We have tried to obtain the relative affinity of partial-cone and 1,3-alternate conformers of 1 for alkyl ammonium guests by comparison with its cone-shaped analogue. We have also calculated the relative complexation efficiency of these host-guest complexes focusing on the binding sites of $crown-\sigma-enther$ moiety or benzene-rings pocket of the host molecule 1. These calculations revealed that the crown moiey has better complexation efficiency than upper rim part of calyx[4]arene that is in similar trend to the cone-shaped complexes.

The conformations and energies of p-tert-butylcalix[4] crown-6-ether (1) and its alkyl ammonium complexes have been simulated by AM1 semi-empirical quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics calculations using a variety of forcefields (MM2, MM+, CVFF). We performed molecular dynamics calculations to simulate the behavior of these coplexes primartily focusing on the three representative conformations (cone, partial cone, 1,3-alternate) of host molecule 1. When we performed AM1 semi-empirical and molecular mechanics calculations, the one conformation was generally found to be most stable for all the employed calculation methods. The primary binding site of host 1 for the recognition of alkyl ammonium guests was confirmed to be the central part of the crown moiety. The complexation enthalpy calculations revealed that the alkyl amonium cations having smaller and linear alkyl group showed the better complexation efficiencies when combined with p-tert-butylcalix[4]crown-6-ether, that is in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.

The conductivity of the electrolyte used plays a critical role in the optimization of the performance of electrochemical double layer capacitors. However, when the difference in the conductivities of different electrolytes is not significant (only 10-20%), the conductivity has little effect on the capacitance. On the other, unlike the conductivity and viscosity of the electrolyte, the cation size directly influences the capacitance. Cyclic ions have a smaller effective radius than that of the corresponding acyclic ions because the acyclic alkyl groups have a greater number of conformational degrees of freedom, such as the rotational, bending, and stretching modes. Consequently, because of the smaller effective size of the cyclic ions, cells containing electrolytes with such ions exhibit higher capacitances than do those with their acyclic counterparts.

$\beta-Cyclodextrin$ derivatives connected with diaza-18-crown-6 through flexible bridges (R) at the secondary face 1a-c (1a: R = $-(CH_2)4-;$ 1b: R = $-CH_2CH_2OCH_2CH2-;$ 1c: R = $-(CH_2)8-)$ have been prepared. The associa tion constants of 1 with (2-naphthoxy)alkylammonium ions (2a: alkyl = butyl; 2b: alkyl = octyl) were determined by induced circular dichroism (ICD) spectroscopy and it was found that the derivatization of $\beta-CD$ with the diazacrown resulted in enhanced binding with 2, compared to the native $\beta-CD.$ ICD Characteristics of the host-guest complexes indicate that a part of the alkylammonium moiety of 2 is protruded from the secondary side of the $\beta-CD$ cavity, and the guest molecules 2a and 2b move to the secondary and primary side, respectively, to make the binding of the ammonium group with the diaza-18-crown-6 moiety more feasible. The energy accompanied by the relocation of the guest molecules inside $\beta-CD$ moiety is compensated by the interaction energy between the ammonium ion and diazacrown ether.

A series of quaternary ammonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) containing an alkyl carbonate group on the cation was first prepared and their physical and electrochemical properties including density, viscosity, thermal stability, electrochemical stability, and ionic conductivity were reported. These ILs exhibited wide electrochemical windows of at least 5.0 V and relatively high conductivities. In contrast to dialkyl-substituted ionic liquids, the ILs with an alkyl carbonate group on the cation showed much smaller drop in conductivities when mixed with a lithium salt, due to the interaction of lithium ions with carbonate groups. Upon interaction with a Li salt, the carbonyl stretching frequency of the carbonate group shifted to a lower frequency whereas the peak associated with C-O single bond moved to a higher frequency.

본 연구에서는 적은 양의 시료를 분석할 수 있는 이온 크로마토그래피용 모세관 컬럼을 개발하였다. 내경이 작은 모세관 컬럼을 사용하는 경우 이동상의 유속은 보통 $5{\sim}15{\mu}L/min$ 정도 되고 컬럼의 길이는 50~150 mm 정도이다. 컬럼은 RSL-300 fused silica 모세관(내경 : 0.53 mm, 외경 : 0.67 mm)과 AG14 column resin(support : polystyrene-divinylbenzene, functional group : aulkyl quatemary ammonium)을 이용하여 만들었다. 또한 이런 모세관 컬럼에 맞는 새로운 전도도 셀과 억제컬럼도 함께 개발하여 사용하였다. 이 모세관 컬럼을 이용하여 실제 음이온들(fluoride, nitrite, nitrate, chlorate)을 분석한 결과 재현성 있고 좋은 크로마토그램을 얻었다.

수용액에서 음이온을 제거하기 위하여 다양한 종류의 유기/무기 복합음이온교환수지를 제조하였다. 제조된 음이온교환수지들은 질소흡탈착 실험, 적외선분광실험, 원소분석 등을 통하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 제조된 음이온교환수지의 음이온 교환 특성을 조사하기 위하여 배치(batch) 실험과 키네틱(kinetic) 실험을 수행하였다. 제조된 시료들 가운데 트리메틸암모늄 기능기를 사용했을 때보다 트리부틸암모늄 기능기를 사용하였을 때 더욱 큰 흡착량을 나타내었는데, 이것은 호프마이스터 효과와도 부합된다. 또한, 소수성기를 다량 보유하고 있는 계면활성제인 헥사데실아민도 소수성 음이온에 대한 교환능이 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Ordered mesoporous silica (MCM-41) materials with different textural properties were prepared using alkyl (dodecyl, cetyl, eicosane) trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB, CTAB, ETAB, respectively) as structure directing surfactants, functionalized with amine groups and used as adsorbent for the toxic metal ions, Cr (VI), As (V), Pb (II) and Hg (II). Amino functionalization of mesoporous MCM-41 was achieved by cocondensation of N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)-propyl] aniline with tetraethyl orthosilicate. Adsorption isotherm and adsorption capacity of the amine functionalized materials for Cr (VI), As (V), Pb (II) and Hg (II) ions were followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Results demonstrate that amine functionalized MCM-41 prepared with ETAB showed higher adsorption capacity for Cr (VI), As (V), Pb (II) and Hg (II) ions in comparison to MCM-41 prepared with CTAB and DTAB. The higher adsorption capacity for MCM-41(ETAB) was correlated with amine content in the material (determined by CHN analysis) and relative decrease in pore volume and pore diameter. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, nitrogen adsorptiondesorption measurements and Fourier Transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) were used to follow the changes in the textural parameters and surface properties of the mesoporous materials as a result of amine functionalization to correlate with the adsorption characteristics. The adsorption process was found to depend on the pH of the medium.

Epoxy/Organically Modified Layered Silicate Nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing synthetic layered silicate modified with alkyl ammonium ions. In the dispersing process, the organically modified layered silicate were mixed in epoxy resin with shearing, and aggregation of the silicate were removed by centrifugal separation after mixing epoxy resin and silicates. Micrographs taken by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) indicate that the nanocomposites have a mixed morphology including both parallel silicate layers and exfoliated silicate layers area, As the thermal properties, the glass transition temperature of the nanocomposites was shifted to a higher temperature($+6^{\circ}C$)than pure epoxy. Furthermore, dispersion of OMLS will prevented relative permittivity from increasing at a high temperature above the glass transition temperature.
