Product yields were determined for the reaction of styrene with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in CH$_2$Cl$_2$ with various substituted manganese porphyrin complexes as catalysts. In the presence of the electron withdrawing group and ortho-substituted manganese porphyrin complexes, reaction rate and epoxide selectivity are increased. Also reaction rate and epoxide selectivity are largely increased by the presence of imidazole which behaves as axial ligand of the manganese porphyrin complexes. By the kinetic study with Michealis-Menten equation, the factor significantly affected to catalytic ability is $K_m$ value. A large binding affinity consists with the low $K_m$. With theoretical analysis by EHMO calculation, the results are in good agreement with experimental data.

Various mutants either lacking or having decreased levels of light-harvesting complexes and reaction center complex were obtained with a high frequency by an increased formation of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. One of the photosynthesis-defective mutants, PY-17, which was devoid of any of the light-harvesting complexes (B800-850, B875) as well as the reaction center complex, was analyzed further. The mutant showed substantial transcription of the puhA, pufKBALMX, and pucBAC operons coding for the structural proteins of the photosynthetic complexes although each of the activities was lower than that of the wild type. Translation of the pufKBALMX and pucBAC operons were also active in the mutant although with activities different from the corresponding one of the wild type. From these results the mutation appears to exert its effect at the post-translational level of the photosynthetic complex assembly. Complementation of the photosynthesis-defective phenotype of the mutant was achieved with an about 12-kb DNA region containing the puhA gene. The relationship between the formation of PHB and photosynthetic complexes is discussed.

To improve the volatility and stability of lead complexes, the principle of stabilization by saturating the metal coordination sphere by intramolecular coordination through a β-diketonates with an ethereal group has was tested. Several new lead complexes with alkoxyalkyl-substituted β-diketonates, Pb(R1C(O)CHC(O)(CH2)3OR2)2(Rl=t-Bu, Me, OMe, i-Pr, R2=Me, Et), or carboxylate, Pb(OC(O)(CH2)3OEt)2, were prepared by the reaction between Pb(OAc)2 and corresponding alkoxyalkyl-substituted β-diketonates, and they were found to have a viscous liquid phase. The nature of the head (β-diketonate or carboxylate) or tails and substituents of β-diketonates appeared not to be important for the formation of the liquid phase. It is worth mentioning that Pb(OAc)2, which has limited use due to its low solubility, was successfully adopted as a starting material for the preparation of new lead complexes. Easy hydrolysis, reaction with HCl, and 13C NMR spectra indicated that tail portions were not coordinated to the metal as a copper derivative, Cu(t-BuC(O)CHC(O)(CH2)3OMe)2. All these complexes were not volatile enough for the MOCVD experiments, but a methyl derivative, Pb(MeC(O)CHC(O)(CH2)3OEt)2, showed some sublimation. The methoxy derivative, Pb(MeOC(O)CHC(O)(CH2)3OEt)2, was thermally unstable due to possible equilibrium between species coordinating with a keto oxygen atom and an ethereal atom of a methoxy group, which was confirmed by IR and 13C NMR spectra.

Effects of light on leaf senescence of Phseolus vulgaris were investigated by measuring the disassembly of chlorophyll-protein complexes in detached leaves which had been kept in the dark or under light. The loss of chlorophyll accompanied by degradation of chlorophyll- protein complexes. PSI (photosystem I) complex containing LHCI (light harvesting complex of PSI) apoproteins was rapidly decreased after the early stage of dark-induced senescence. RC(reaction center)-Cores was slightly increased until 4 d and slowly decreased thereafter. As disassembly of LHCII trimer progressed after the late stage of senescence, there was a steady increase in the relative amount of SC(small complex)-2 containing LHCII monomer. On the other hand, white and red light adaptation caused the structural stability of chlorophyll-protein complexes during dark-induced senescence. Particularly, red light was more effective in the retardation of LHCII breakdown than white light, whereas white light was slightly effect in protecting the disassembly of PSI complex compared to red light. These results suggest, therefore, that light may be a regulatory factor for stability of chlorophyll-protein complexes in the senescent leaves.

A series of (diamine)isopropylidenmalonatoplatinum(Ⅱ) complexes and the oxidation products, (diamine)Pt (OOC)2C=C(CH3)2(X)2, (diamine=ethylenediamine(en), 1,2-diaminopropan(dap), N-methylethylenediamine(men); X=OH, OCOCH3, OCOCF3), have been prepared, and their interaction with guanosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-GMP) have been examined by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. The present platinum(Ⅱ) complexes have shown to interact with 5'-GMP through N7 coordination in two concecutive steps in a similar way as with cisplatin, but no interaction between the present platinum(Ⅳ) complexes and 5'-GMP was observed. However, in the presence of ascorbic acid, the platinum(Ⅳ) complexes have been found to interact with 5'-GMP with the reaction rate depending on their reduction rate.

Ruthenium(III) unsymmetrical Schiff base complexes, $[Ru(CHBPH-TP)Cl_2]$ and $K[Ru(CHBPH-HB)Cl_2]$ were synthesized, where CHBPH-TP and CHBPH-HB are 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzophenonethiophencarba aldehydephenylenediimine and 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzophenonehydroxybenzophe nonephenylenediimine. These Schiff bases were obtained from the reactions of 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzophenone (CHB) and 2-thiophenecarbaldehyde (TP) or hyroxybenzophenone (HB) and 1,2-diaminobenzene. Elemental analysis, conductivity and infrared studies of the complexes suggest an octahedral geometry around ruthenium. Magnetic moments of the complexes indicate a single unpaired electron in alow spin $d^5$ configuration. The complexes are capable of catalyzing the oxidation of styrene with sodium hypochlorite in the presence of phase transfer agent. Oxidative cleavage of C=C bond is the major reaction pathway to form benzaldehyde for styrene oxidation.

The $d^8$-transition metal complexes containing diphosphine, $MCl_2PP$ were prepared by using $K_nMCl_m$ as starting materials, wherein M were Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II) and Au(III) and PP were bis(diphenylphosphino)methane(dppm), bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane(dppe), bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp) and bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene(dppety). The complexes were characterized by the spectral property $(^H-NMR$, $^{31}P-NMR$ and UV-Visible spectra) together with elemental analysis. The complexes were tested for the catalytic activity on the formation reactions of 3(2H)-furanone and cyclic carbonate. The only Ni(II)- and Pd(II)-diphosphine complexes displayed a good catalytic effects in the production of 3(2H)-furanone from 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol [reaction (1)]. But all the diphosphine complexes as catalyst were almost inactive towards cyclic carbonate production preaction [reaction (2)].

Electrochemical behaviors od chromium electrodeposition from 0.05M chromium (III) sulface complexes in aqueous solutions using sodium formate-glycine mixtures as a complexing agent were studied. In the cathodic current-potential cures, it is found that the intial limiting current of Cr(III) is proportional to square root of scan rate and activiation energy from Arrhenius plot is s obtained 3.05Kcal/mol. From this results, the reaction is considered, Cr3++e longrightarrow Cr2+, which is controlled diffusion of Cr (III). It is also found that the chromium is deposited when the potential reaches to hydrogen evolution potential. Effects of NaSCN as a catalyser in the electrolyte were investigated NCS- anion seems to react strongly by specific absorption at the inner HelmholtZ layer, so that, it is considered to suppress the electrodeposition reaction reaction for chromjum, and also it is considered multipe-bridge such as Cr(III)-NCS---M(M;cathode).

The complexation reaction between Pb2+,TI and Cd2+ions and macrocyclic ligands, 18-crown-6 ( 18C6) and dibenzo- 18-crown-6 (DB 18C6), was studied in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-nitromethane (NM) and dimethyl-formamide (DMF)-nitromethane binary system s by square wave polarography (SWP) technique. The stoichiometry and stability of the complexes were determined by monitoring the shifts in half-waves or peak potentials of the polarographic waves of metal ions against the Iigand concentration. In most cases, the stability constants of complexes increase with increasing amounts of the nitromethane in mixed binary solvents used in this study. The complexes formed between 18C6 and DB18C6 and these metal cations in all cases had a stoichiometry of 1 : 1. The results obtained show that there is an inverse relationship between the formation constant of complexes and the donor number of solvents based on a Gatmann donocity scale and the stability constants show a high sensitivity to the composition of the mixed solvent systems. A linear behavior was observed for variation of log Kf of I8C6 complexes vs the composition of the mixed solvent systems in NM/DMSO and NM/DMF,but a non-linear behavior was observed in the case of DB 18C6 complexes in these binary systems. In most of the systems investigated, the Pb2+ cation forms a more stable complex with the 18C6 than other two cations and the order of selectivity of this Iigand for cations is: Pb2+ > TI+,Cd2+.

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.
