A series of tetradentate Schiff base ligands; [1,2-bis(naphthylideneimino)ethane, 1,3-bis(naphthylideneimino)propane, 1,4-bis(naphthylideneimino)butane, and 1,5-bis(naphthylideneimino)pentane] and their Ni(Ⅱ) complexes have been synthesized. The properties of these ligands and their Ni(Ⅱ) complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR, UV-vis spectra, molar conductance, and thermogravimetric analysis. The mole ratio of Schiff base to Ni(Ⅱ) metal was found to be 1:1. The electrochemical redox process of the ligands and their Ni(Ⅱ) complexes in DMF and DMSO solution containing 0.1 M tetraethyl ammonium perchlorate (TEAP) as a supporting electrolyte have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, differential pulse voltammetry, and controlled potential coulometry at glassy carbon electrode. The redox process of the ligands was highly irreversible, whereas redox process of Ni(Ⅱ) complexes were observed as one electron transfer process in quasi-reversible and diffusion-controlled reaction. The electrochemical redox potentials of the Ni(Ⅱ) complexes were affected by the chelate ring size of ligands. The diffusion coefficients of Ni(Ⅱ) complexes containing 0.1 M TEAP in DMSO solution were determined to be 5.7-6.9 × 10-6 cm2/sec. Also the exchange rate constants were determined to be 1.8-9.5 × 10-2 cm2/sec. These values were affected by the chelate ring size of ligands.

We analyzed the relationship between small- and medium-sized corporate bank loans and bank's equity ratio, as well as small- and medium-sized corporate bank loans and bank's performance in Korean banking industry. Using the data from the Bank of Korea and the Financial Supervisory Service, we made a panel data set, including small and medium corporate loan ratio, BIS ration, basic equity ratio, performance ratio, etc. We found a positively significant relationship between small- and medium-sized corporate loans and bank's equity ratio. There was a positive change of this relationship between the pre-financial crisis and post-financial crisis periods. In the post-financial crisis period, small- and medium-sized corporate bank loans had a significantly positive impact on the bank's equity ratio and bank's performance. We expect that these results will give new insights and contribute to the already-existing knowledge as well as to the Korean government institutions that are interested in the impact of small- and medium-sized corporate bank loans.

In this study, we empirically analyzed the impact of physical risks due to climate change on the soundness and operational performance of the financial industry by combining economics and climatology. Particularly, unlike previous studies, we employed the Seasonal-Trend decomposition using LOESS (STL) method to extract trends of climate-related risk variables and economic-financial variables, conducting a two-stage empirical analysis. In the first stage estimation, we found that the delinquency rate and the Bank for International Settlement (BIS) ratio of commercial banks have significant negative effects on the damage caused by natural disasters, frequency of heavy rainfall, average temperature, and number of typhoons. On the other hand, for insurance companies, the damage from natural disasters, frequency of heavy rainfall, frequency of heavy snowfall, and annual average temperature have significant negative effects on return on assets (ROA) and the risk-based capital ratio (RBC). In the second stage estimation, based on the first stage results, we predicted the soundness and operational performance indicators of commercial banks and insurance companies until 2035. According to the forecast results, the delinquency rate of commercial banks is expected to increase steadily until 2035 under assumption that recent years' trend continues until 2035. It indicates that banks' managerial risk can be seriously worsened from climate change. Also the BIS ratio is expected to decrease which also indicates weakening safety buffer against climate risks over time. Additionally, the ROA of insurance companies is expected to decrease, followed by an increase in the RBC, and then a subsequent decrease.

Acrylic rubber was synthesized using ethyl acrylate. butyl acrylate, methoxyethyl acrylate as main monomers and glycidyl methacrylate as cure site monomer by emulsion polymerization. Rubber compound was made by adding 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane as crosslinking agent. Increase of ethyl acrylate content in the main monomer ratio resulted in enhancement of heat resistance due to decrease of glass transition temperature in acrylic rubber. And also oil resistance was increased with increasing content of ethyl acrylate because ethyl acrylate has the highest ester concentration in the three main monomers. With content of 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane, both tensile strength and elongation were increased until 2 phr, but in higher content than that, they decreased owing to reduction of viscosity and elongation by increase of crosslinking density.

Organic-inorganic hybrid coating film using 1,2-bis(2,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)-3,3,4,4,5,5-hexafluoro-1-cyclopentene (BTHFC) as a photochromic material was prepared under various reaction conditions such as the amounts of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS), various silane coupling agents, and solvent. It was found that color-fading speed and absorbance of the coating film was strongly dependent upon the polarity of silane coupling agent and solvent. In addition, the mole ratio of TMOS and methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) was an important factor to determine color-fading speed and absorbance of the coating film. With increasing TMOS contents in coating film, the pencil hardness was increased. On the other hands, the transmittance of coating film was relatively decreased with the increase of TMOS.

Purpose : To investigate the blood pharmacokinetics and bio-distribution of DTPA-bis-amide (L3) Gd(III) complexes. Materials and Methods: The pharmacokinetics and bio-distribution of Gd $(L3)(H_2O){\cdot}nH_2O$ were investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats after intravenous administration at a dose of 0.1 mmol Gd/kg. The Gd content in the blood, various tissues, and organs was determined by ICP-AES. Blood pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a two-compartment model. Results: The half-lives of ${\alpha}$ phase and ${\beta}$ phase Gd $(L3)(H_2O){\cdot}nH_2O$ were $2.286{\pm}0.11$ min and $146.1{\pm}7.5$ min, respectively. The bio-distribution properties reveal that the complex is mainly excreted by the renal pathway, and possibly excreted by the hepatobiliary route. The concentration ratio of Gd (III) was significantly higher in the liver and spleen than in other organs, and small amounts of Gd (III) ion were detected in the blood or other tissues of rats only after 7 days of intravenous administration. Conclusion: The MRI contrast agent Gd $(L3)(H_2O){\cdot}nH_2O$ provides prolonged blood pool retention in the circulation and then clears rapidly with minimal accumulation of Gd(III) ions. The synthesis of gadolinium complexes with well-balanced lipophilicity and hydrophilicity shows promise for their further development as blood pool MRI contrast agents.

The new organic semiconductors which are composed of divinylbenzene core unit and alkoxynaphthalene on both sides, 1,4-bis-2-(6-octyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BONVB), 1,4-bis-2-(6-decyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BDNVB) and 1,4-bis-2-(6-dodecyloxy)naphthalen-2-ylvinylbenzene (BDDNVB) were synthesized by Wittig reaction. The structures of obtained BONVB, BDNVB and BDDNVB were confirmed by FT-IR and mass spectroscopy. UV-absorption of thin film showed H-aggregates and J-aggregates due to closely packed structure between adjacent molecules. The characterization of vacuum-evaporated films by Xray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the chain length of alkoxy group affects the crystallinity and morphology. BONVB with octyloxy group showed the mobility of $0.011cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, on/off ratio of $1.31{\times}10^5$, and a subthreshold slope of 0.93 V.

The $N_2O_2$ tetradentate Schiff base ligand, N,N'-bis(salicylidene)pentane-1,3-diamine (Salpn), coupled with 1:2 concentration ratio of 1,3-diaminopentane and salicylaldehyde was used to produce a series of macrocyclic Nikel(II) complexes. In the metal complexation, it was observed that Salpn macrocyclic ligand can adopt more than a metal ion giving an unique multinuclear metal complexes including Ni(II)Salpn and $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$. Characteristic IR ${\upsilon}(M-O)$ peaks for Ni(II)Salpn and $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$ were observed to be $1028cm^{-1}$ and $1024cm^{-1}$, respectively. Characteristic UV-Vis absorption ${\lambda}_{max}$ peaks for $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$ were observed to be 241nm and 401 nm. Structural characterization of $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$ by NMR exhibits that the salicylidene ring moiety has two different resonance signals originated from the magnetically asymmetric diligand and trinuclear bis complex. Complete NMR signal assignments and characterizations elucidating structural features of $Ni(II)_3(Salpn)_2$ were described in detail.
