The convergent synthetic strategy for the emissive dendrimers having the chromophore at core via the coppercatalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between alkyne and azide was described. 2,7-Diazido-9,9-dioctyl-9H-fluorene, designed to serve as the core in dendrimer, was stitched with the alkyne-functionalized Frechettype and PAMAM dendrons by the click chemistry leading to the formation of the corresponding fluorescent dendrimers in high yields. The preliminary photoluminescence studies indicated that 2,7-diazido-9,9-dioctyl-9H-fluorene showed no fluorescence due to the quenching effect from the electron-rich ${\alpha}$-nitrogen of the azido group but the dendrimers fluoresced due to the elimination of the quenching through the formation of the triazole ring.

The plant pigment proteins phytochromes are a molecular light sensor or switch for photomorphogenesis involving a variety of growth and developmental responses of plants to red and far-red wavelength light. Underscoring the photomorphogenesis mediated by phytochromes is the light signal transduction at molecular and cellular levels. For example, a number of genes activated by the phytochrome-mediated signal transduction cascade have been identified and characterized, especially in Arabidopsis thaliana. The light sensor/switch function of phytochromes are based on photochromism of the covalently linked tetrapyrrole chromophore between the two photoreversible forms, Pr and Pfr. The photochromism of phytochromes involves photoisomerization of the tetrapyrrole chromophore. The "photosensor" Pr-form ("switch off" conformation) of phytochromes strongly absorbs 660 nm red light, whereas the "switch on" Pfr-conformation preferentially absorbs 730 nm far-red light. The latter is generally considered to be responsible for eliciting transduction cascades of the red light signal for various responses of plants to red light including positive or negative expression of light-responsive genes in plant nuclei and chloroplasts. In this paper, we discuss the structure-function of phytochromes in plant growth and development, with a few examples of biotechnological implications.

We synthesized polymethacrylate and polyurethane bearing a photosensitive azobenzene chromophore. Photo-induced birefringence of the thin film was observed under a linearly polarized light(λ = 532 nm). Dynamic behaviors of birefringence in two polymers were investigated in terms of the rate constants of growth and decay. An induced dichroism was observed from polarized UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy. Layers of two photosensitive polymers were used for aligning liquid crystal (LC) molecules instead of one of the rubbed polyimide layers in the conventional twisted nematic cell. For producing homogeneous alignment of a nematic LC molecule, a linearly polarized light was exposed to the films of two polymers. The stability of the LC alignment upon the linearly polarized light exposure was also studied.

Five dyes based on phthalocyanine, a dye on azo, and a dye on anhraquinone were prepared from corresponding starting material to investigate the effects of substituent on thermal-stability of dyes which is essentially required to apply to the color filters. Synthesized dyes were confirmed their chemical structure using by 1H-NMR, MASS and Elemental analysis. The thermal-stability was evaluated by the weight reductions measured by TGA analysis comparing to that of conventional C.I. Pigment Blue 15:6. The absorption maxima were measured by UV-VIS spectrophotometer then the effects of substituent on absorption maximum was also investigated.

We propose a novel mechanism (Twist Sharing Mechanism) for the cis-trans photoisomerization of rhodopsin, based on the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study. New things devised in our simulations are (1) the adoption of Mt. Fuji potentials in the excited state for twisting of the three bonds C9=C10, C11=C12 and C13=14 which are modeled using the detailed ab initio quantum chemical calculations and (2) to use the rhodopsin structure which was resolved recently by the X-ray crystallographic study. As a result, we found the followings: Due to the intramolecular steric hindrance between 20-methyl and 10-H in the retinal chromophore, the C12-C13 and C10-C11 bonds are considerably twisted counterclockwise in rhodopsin, allowing only counterclockwise rotation of the C11 =C12 in the excited state. The movement of 19-methyl in rhodopsin is blocked by the surrounding three amino acids, Thr 118, Met 207 and Tyr 268, prohibiting the rotation of C9=C10. As a result only all-trans form of the chromophore is obtainable as a photoproduct. At the 90$^{\circ}$ twisting of C11=C12 in the course of photoisomerization, twisting energies of the other bonds amount to about 20 kcal/mol. If the transition state for the thermal isomerization is assumed to be similar to this structure, the activation energy for the thermal isomerization around C11=C12'in rhodopsin is elevated by about 20 kcal/mol and the thermal isomerization rate is decelerated by 10$\^$-14/ times than that of the retinal chromophore in solution, protecting photosignal from the thermal noise.

동일한 발광기능기를 가진 고분자물질, PU-BCN과 저분자물질 D-BCN은 다양한 구조의 EL소자에서 평가되었다. 발광기능기의 분자구조는 전자주입과 수송을 위한 두 개의 시아노기와 정공주입과 수송을 위한 두 개의 triphenylamin기로 구성된다. 두 개의 다른 종류의 물질인 PU-BCN과 D-BCN을 사용하여 다양한 종류의 EL소자가 만들어 졌는데 소자의 종류로는 Indium-tin oxide(ITO)/PU-BCN or D-BCN/MgAg 로 구성된 단층형 소자(SL) 그리고 ITO/PU-BCN or D-BCN/oxadiazole derivative/MgAg로 구성된 적층형 소자(DL-E) 그리고 OTO/triphenylamine derivative/D-BCN/MgAg 로 구성된 적층형 소자(DL-H)이다. 두종류의 물질, PU-BCN과 D-BCN은 높은 전류밀도에서 동일한 발광특성을 보였으며 단층형자에서 조차 뛰어난 EL특성을 보였다. 최대 EL 피이크는 약 640 nm 의 적색발광을 나타냈으며 형광 피이크와 일치했다.
