Fresh bamboo was charred in the mechanical steel kiln and traditional earth kiln, and then its smoke was condensed to produce bamboo smoke distillates (BSD). BSD made by mechanical steel kiln (MBSD) was purified by distillation. There is significant difference (p<0.05) in total phenol content among them, 663.40 ppm in MBSD, 571.62 ppm in PMBSD, and 485.16 ppm in TBSD. The nitrite scavenging activity and electron donation ability of BSDs were measured and the content of total phenol content was determined. The nitrite scavenging activity of BSD increased with increasing concentration of BSD at the same pH and decreased with increasing pH. There is significant difference (p<0.05) in nitrite scavenging activity among MBSD, purified MBSD (PMBSD), and BSD made by traditional earth kiln (TBSD) and the activity was the highest in MBSD and the lowest in TBSD. The electron donationg ability of BSDs increased with increasing the concentration of BSD and the reaction time. There is significant difference in the electron donation ability of BSDs at the same period and different concentration among the BSDs, the highest in MBSD and the lowest in TBSD.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of O-ethyl phenyl phosphonochloridothioate with substituted anilines ($XC_6H_4NH_2$) and deuterated anilines ($XC_6H_4ND_2$) are kinetically investigated in acetonitrile at $55.0^{\circ}C$. The deuterium kinetic isotope effects (DKIEs) invariably increase from a secondary inverse DKIE ($k_H/k_D$ = 0.93) to a primary normal DKIE ($k_H/k_D$ = 1.28) as the substituent of nucleophile (X) changes from electron-donating to electron-withdrawing. These can be rationalized by the gradual transition state (TS) variation from a backside to frontside attack. A concerted $S_N2$ mechanism is proposed. A trigonal bipyramidal TS is proposed for a backside attack while a hydrogen-bonded, four-center-type TS is proposed for a frontside attack.

In the present study, ten metal free non-linear optical (NLO) compounds have been designed. These compounds have designed by structural modification of (2-cyano-5-(4-(phenyl(4-vinylphenyl)amino)phenyl) penta-2,4-dienoic acid (TC4). Density functional theory was used for structure optimization and determination of photo-physical properties. These compounds contain triphenylamine as electron-donor and cyanoacrylic acid as acceptor. Five ${\pi}$-spacers are used to connect the donor and acceptor. Two auxiliary donors are also used to assist the donor. Results of this study indicate that stronger electron-donating auxiliary groups and longer ${\pi}$-conjugation enhance NLO response. Major absorption peaks of all systems were in the visible region. These absorption peaks are associated with the ${\pi}-{\pi}^*$ transitions of the entire molecule. From calculations it is clear that all system will be good NLO material. The present calculations will provide new ways for experimentalists to synthesize high-performance NLO material.

Acid and halide ion catalyses for the hydrolysis of benzenesulfinamides were kinetically investigated. The rates of hydrolysis increased with increasing concentration of both acid and halide ions and also showed to speed up as the electron donating ability of the benzenesulfinyl moiety and the electron withdrawing ability in the leaving group increased. The reactivity of halide ions was in the order of $Br^-$ > $Cl^-$. The reaction mechanism may be accommodated by including a hypervalent intermediate and sulfonium cation.

We synthesized C-10 substituted triazolyl artemisinins by the Huisgen cycloaddition reaction between dihydroartemisinins (2) and variously substituted 1, 2, 3-triazoles (8a-8h). The antimalarial activities of 32 novel artemisinin derivatives were screened against a chloroquine-resistant parasite. Among them, triazolyl artemisinins with electron-withdrawing groups showed stronger antimalarial activities than those shown by the derivatives having electron-donating groups. In particularly, m-chlorotriazolyl artemisinin (9d-12d) showed antimalarial activity equivalent to that of artemisinin and could be a strong drug candidate.

In organic opto-electronic applications, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photovoltaic devices (PVDs), the morphology of the active layer is of crucial importance. To control the morphology of the active layer the self-assembling properties of block copolymers was used. Several rod-coil semiconducting diblock copolymers consisting of a conjugated block and a second coil block functionalized with electron transporting and/or accepting materials (such as $C_{60}$) were synthesized. The conjugated block acting as light absorbing, electron donating and hole transporting material. The donor/acceptor photovoltaic devices performance with active layer the above mentioned semiconducting block copolymers will be presented.

Rates of the reactions of m-and p-ring-substituted thiobenzamides with benzyl bromide in acetone have been determined by an electric conductivity method. The Hammett rule has been adopted for these reactions. It has been observed that an electron-attracting substituent accelerates the reaction while an electron-donating substituent retards the reaction, and a mechanism which accounts for the observed kinetics has been postulated. The activation energies and entropies of activation for these reactions have also been calculated.

Rates of reactions of nine m-or p-substituted phenacyl bromides with quinoline in methanol were measured by an electric conductivity method. These reactions were found to proceed through an $S_N2$ path and were accelerated by both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents. A plausible reaction mechanism for this observation was proposed. Some activation parameters for these reactions were also calculated.

Computations are presented for the ortho- and para-substituted benzyl alcohol-$H_2O$ clusters. A variety of conformers are predicted, and their relative energies are compared. Binding energies of the clusters are computed, and detailed analysis is presented on the effects of substitution on the strength of the hydrogen bond in the clusters. F- and $NH_2-$ substituted clusters are studied to analyze the effects of electron-withdrawing and electron-pushing groups. In para-substituted clusters, the inductive effects are dominant, affecting the binding energies in opposite way depending on whether the hydroxyl group is proton-donating or -accepting. For ortho-substituted clusters, more direct involvement of the substituting group and the resulting geometry change of the hydrogen bond should be invoked to elucidate complicated pattern of the binding energy of the clusters.

This work was designed to determine the effect of steaming-Pretreatment on Physicochemical and functional properties of roasted Polygonatum odoratum roots. Steaming treatments led to some reduction in the contents of water solubles, such as total solid, reducing sugar and free-amino nitrogen of the unroasted samples. Moreover, roasting processing caused decrease in reducing sugar and free-amino acid, with increase in total soluble solid and browning color of the samples, which showed the dependence of steaming treatment as well as roasting temperature. Electron-donating ability and nitrite-scavenging ratio of the samples were also highly developed along with roasting processing at 17$0^{\circ}C$ within 35min. Considering the physicochemical and some functional parameters of water extracts of roasted samples, roasting at above 14$0^{\circ}C$ for over 55min or at 17$0^{\circ}C$ for around 35min was recommendable for the higher quality of Polygonatum odoritum tea, which conditions were similarly adapted for both steamed and unsteamed samples.
