Ionic liquids based on l-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation $(EMI^+)$ and inorganic or organic anions containing fluorine atoms were applied to electrolyte materials for double-layer capacitors. The double-layer capacitors composed of a pair of activated carbon electrodes and an ionic liquid selected from $EMIBF_4,\; EMINbF_6,\;EMITaF_6,\;EMICF_3SO_3,\;EMI(CF_3SO_2)_2N,\;and\;EMI(C_2F_5SO_2)_2N$ showed inferior low-temperature characteristics to those of a conventional nonaqueous electrolyte based on propylene carbonate (PC) solvent. On the other hand, the capacitor using $EMIF{\cdot}2.3HF$ showed excellent low-temperature characteristics due to its high conductivity at low temperatures, however, it had a lower working voltage $(\~2V)$ than the conventional nonaqueous counterpart $(\~3V)$.

Metal-binding antibiotics are very attractive choices as cation selective ionophores. The ability of tetracycline (TC) antibiotics to bind to metal ions has obtained much attention. TCs exhibit the potentiometric performance changes for various cations dependant on several experiment conditions. In this report, we investigated the potentiometric performance changes of TC as the modification of TC's possible metal binding site. We found that the selectivity alter with the blocking main binding site of ionophores for cations. And, additionally it is possible to control the selectivity of sensors with chemical modification of ionophores.

By cation-exchange-reaction long-chain organic cationic tensides can be intercalated in the montmorillonite layer space, and thus intercalations-complexes of montmorillonite with different properties of materials can be obtained. Such intercalations-complexes are finding strong technical appliances in many areas and are also used very often as model-systems for studying behaviors of materials. Therefore in this research intercalations-complexes of montmorillonite with organic cationic tensides ad model-systems were synthesized and their behabiors under various different conditions were studied.

Three hydroquinone dimethyl ether derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The electron donating properties were evaluated by using UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and by ESR spectroscopy. The microcrystalline cation-radical salts of the three donor molecules were also isolated by using antimony pentachloride, a single electron Lewis acid oxidant.

Oligomerization of isobutene has been investigated using a few solid acid catalysts in order to produce efficiently triisobutenes that are useful chemical feedstocks for heavy alkylates and neo-acids. Several reaction conditions such as space velocity and isobutene concentration are evaluated, and a few cation exchange resins with various acid capacities were compared in the reaction. High trimers selectivity and high conversion can be obtained over a catalyst containing high acid capacity at low space velocity and relatively low isobutene concentration. The stability of a catalyst for the reaction is high when the acid capacity of the catalyst is high (for example Amberlyst-35).

The cation exchange chromatographic studies for the analysis of transition metals have been described. The quantitative separation of a mixture of Fe(Ⅲ), Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Co(II) and Mn(II) has been obtained by elution, through a 28cm column of the resin, Dowex 50 ${\times}$ 4 (100∼200 mesh), using 0.45 M $NaNO_3$+0.05 M Na-tartrate solution as eluent, starting with the eluent of pH 3.5, followed stepwise by pH 4.0 and 4.5. A comparison between the calculated and the observed peak positions in the elution curve has been shown. The relative stability constants for tartrate complexes of some transition metals have been calculated by using distribution ratios obtained in this separation procedure.

The temperature dependence of dc conductivity and magnetic properties of cation deficient {{{{ { {(LaMn) }_{1-λ }O }_{3 } }} systems has been investigated,. Above 160K the magnetic susceptibility of all samples followed the Curie-Weiss law. The Curie temperature decreased as the cation deficiency increased. This is due to a strong Jahn-Teller effect originated from electrons of {{{{ { Mn}^{3+ } }} In the case of samples annealed in air and oxygen at-mosphere the charge carriers responsible for conduction in the ferromagnetic regime below the Curie tem-perature are believed to have both magnetic and lattice characteristics. However the conduction carriers in the paramagnetic regime above the Curie temperature are though to be formed by hopping process of small polarons which were generated by assistance of the Jahn-Teller effect.

Zinc occurs in the nature as sulfide, carbonate, silicate, and oxide. In natural water, zinc is generally in the form of the divalent cation $Zn^{2+}$ as well as in the form of fairly weakly bound complexes. Human activities introduce zinc ion to the hydrosphere in many ways. The zinc complexes in the aqueous environment are accumulated not only in aquatic organisms but also in human body ultimately through physico-chemical and/or biological processes. (omitted)

A Cu(I) complex with an asymmetric TTF derivative (CET-EDTTTF) is prepared from the slow-diffusion method using CET-EDTTTF and Cu(I)Br solutions and characterized by X-ray crystallography and EPR spectroscopy. Structural analysis shows Cu(I) ions are tetrahedrally coordinated to two bridging bromides, one terminal bromide, and one S atom from CET-EDTTTF. Detailed geometrical and EPR analysis identified that the dimmer molecule contains [Cu$_2Br_4]^{2-}$ anion between two [CET-EDTTTF]$^+$ radical cations. Single-crystal EPR investigation of the complex reveals that the ganisotropy is unusually big, compared to those of the previously reported TTF+ cation radicals, implying that there is significant contribution of the Cu d-orbital to the HOMO of the complex.

The physico-chemical properties and characteristics after thermal treatment of natural zeolite from Kampo area were studied. The physico-chemical properties of natural zeolite were studied by investigating chemical composition, x-ray diffraction pattern(XRD), scanning electronic microscope(SEM), infrared spec-tra(IR), thermal analysis(TA), and cation exchange capacity(C.E.C.), and the characteristics of natural zeo-lite after thermal treatment from $400^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ were compared with the natural zeolite. This study showed that clinoptilolite was the predominant costituent in natural zeolite, and the natural zeolite contained a little amount of quartz and feldspar as impurities. Zeolite mineral was seen to develop slowly by the natural alternation of volcanic ash considering the almost amorphous crystal structure. The more temperature of ther-mal treatment increased, the more adsorption capacity decreased, considering the fact that the hydroxy peak diminished on infrared spectra, and that cation exchange capacity also decreased distinctly.
