In this study, the functional hydrogel ophthalmic lens containing tungsten oxide nanoparticles, 2,4-dihydroxy benzophenone and 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy) benzophenone were manufactured. HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), MMA (methyl methacrylate), AA(acrylic acid), the cross-linker EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), the initiator AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) and the functional additives including tungsten oxide nanoparticles, 2,4-dihydroxy benzophenone, and 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy) benzophenone were used respectively. The measurements of water content and refractive index of the sample was decreased and increased, respectively. And also, the UV transmittance of produced lens containing 2,4-dihydroxy benzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy) benzophenone and tungsten oxide nanoparticles was measured. Based on the results of this study, it is judged that the performance improvement increased over time when 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy) benzophenone was used as an additive, while the use of tungsten oxide nanoparticles influenced on blue-ray-blocking effect of the hydrophilic lens.

A sensitive method for the determination of trace cadmium after the preconcentration by extracting its 8-hydroxyquinoline complex into a molten benzophenone was developed. Several experimental conditions such as the pH of solution, the amounts of 8-hydroxyquinoline and benzophenone, stirring time, and standing time were optimized. Trace cadmium in 100 mL water sample was chelated with 2.5 mL of 0.001 M 8-hydroxyquinoline at pH 8.0. After 0.07 g benzophenone was added, the solution was heated to about 70 ℃ and stirred vigorously for 1 minute to dissolve the complex quantitatively in a molten benzophenone, and stood for 30 minutes to reproduce the microcrystalline benzophenone. The benzophenone containing Cd-8-hydroxyquinoline complex was filtered and dissolved in acetone. Cadmium was determined by a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The interfering effects of diverse concomitant ions were investigated and eliminated. This method could be applied to natural water samples and the recovery of more than 90% was obtained in the real samples.

A convenient liquid chromatographic enantiomer separation of several ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters as benzophenone Schiff base derivatives on covalently immobilized chiral stationary phases (CSPs) derived from polysaccharide derivatives was developed. The benzophenone imine derivatives of ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters were readily prepared by stirring benzophenone imine and the ${\alpha}$-amino acid ester hydrochloride salts in 2-propanol. The chromatographic conditions used on all CSPs were 0.5% or 5% 2-propanol/hexane (V/V) as the mobile phases at 1 mL/min of flow rate and UV 254 nm detection. The performance of Chiralpak IC among all CSPs was superior to that of the other CSPs for resolution of benzophenone imine derivatives of ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters. It is expected that the developed analytical method will be useful for enantiomer resolution of other ${\alpha}$-amino acid esters as benzophenone Schiff base derivatives.

New synthetic route and characterization of alkyl-capped nanocrystalline silicon (R-n-Si) were achieved from the reaction of silicon tetrachloride with sodium/benzophenone ketal reducing agent followed by n-butyllithium. Surface of silicon nanoparticles was derivatized with butyl group. Effect of oxidation of silicon nanoparticle with benzophenone was investigated for their stabilization. Optical characteristics of silicon nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Butyl-capped silicon nanoparticles exhibited an emission band at 410 nm with excitation wavelength of 360 nm. Average size of n-butyl-capped silicon nanoparticles was obtained by particle size analyzer (PSA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Average size of n-butyl-capped Si nanoparticles was about 6.5 nm.

Benzoyloxy benzophenone derivatives were prepared in 3 steps including DCC coupling, Fries rearrangement and esterification from benzoic acids in 24-89% total yields. Among the prepared 12 benzophenone analogues 1a-1l, the compound 1b having three chloro groups at the para position showed maximum inhibitory effects of ICAM-1 expression but, 1a which have no substituents at all showed no inhibitory activity. This study provides the evidences that benzoyloxy benzophenone derivative, 1b may exert its anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing IFN-${\gamma}$-induced ICAM-1 expression.

Benzophenone is an UV-absorbing agent that has been used in industry and medicine for more than 30 years. Its twelve derivatives, designated benzophenone-1 through benzophenone-12, are widely used today in cosmetic products as a photostabilizer, a sunscreen in lotions, and hair sprays to protect the skin and hair from UV irradiation.(omitted)

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals which can be found in our normal daily life. They can be easily ingested through plastic food containers, pesticides, etc. They include DDT, bisphenol A, benzophenone and phenylphenol, etc. Endocrine disruptor can be very harmful and toxic because it disrupts the normal function of the endogenous endocrine system. It has been reported that endocrine disruptor can cause the fatal strike in reproductive system central nervous system and the other part of the body. We have examined if the growth of lactic acid bacteria could be resistant to the endocrine disruptor. We have used Lactobacillus delbruekii as an experimental strain and benzophenone and phenylphenol for the comparison purpose. Experiments included the evaluation of turbidity, absorbance and actual cell counts. Although Lactobacillus delbruekii showed the higher resistance to benzophenone than phenylphenol it was still resistant to both benzophenone and phenylphenol. Because the experimental concentrations of benzophenone and phenylphenol were so high to compare with the actual concentration we meet in daily life, Lactobacillus delbruekii was considered to be sufficient to survive in the environmental concentration of these endocrine disruptors. This study should contribute to the development of fermented beverage with beneficial effect by lactic acid bacteria.

The benzophenone derivatives(4-$CH_3O$-4'-$NO_2$ and 3,4'-di-$NO_2$) are synthesized by the Fridel-Craft acylation and the nitration method. Electrochemical redox potentials of the benzophenone derivatives (4-$CH_3O$, H, 3-Cl, 3-$NO_2$, 4-$NO_2$, 4-$CH_3O$-4'-$NO_2$, 3,4'-di-$NO_2$) are measured by using cyclic voltammometry. In the relationship of summing Hammett value and redox potential, we find a proportional constant$(\rho)$ that shows a good relation with an electrochemical property and a reactivity of the benzophenone derivatives. The benzophenone substituted with the electron donating groups(4-$OCH_3$ and 4-$OCH_3-4'-NO_2$) are higher the energy in the LUMO level, then increasing a band-gap energy$(E_g)$, their $E_gs$ are obtained as a 3.94 eV and 3.59 eV, respectively.

A sensitive method for the determination of trace copper(II) after the preconcentration by adsorbing its cupferron complex onto microcrystalline benzophenone was developed.Several experimental conditions such as the pH of sample solution,concentration of cupferron, amount of benzophenone and atirring time were optimized. Trace compper(II) in 100mL solution was chelated with $3.0\;{\times}\;10^3$ M cupferron at pH 5.0. After 0.20g benzophenone, The benzophenone adsorbing Cu-cupferron complex was filtered and then Cu-cupferron complex was desorbed in 10 mL ethanol. Copper was determined by a flame atomic absorption spectrophotomethry. The interfering effects of diverse concomitant ions were investigated. Fe(III) interfered seriously with, but the interference by Fe(III) was completely eliminated by adjusting the concentration of copferron to $5.0\;{\times}\;10^3$ M. The detection limit of this method was 8.6${\times}$10 M(5.5 ngmL$^1$). Recoveries of 97% and 96% were obtained for Cu(II) in a stream water and a brass sample, respectively. Based on the results from the experiment. this proposed technique could be applied to the determination of copper(II) in real samples.
