A study is reported about the synthesis processes of various silacrown ether by the reaction of alkoxysilanes with polyethylene glycols (PEG) through transesterification. Crown ether-functionalized carbosilane dendrimers and hybrid crown ethers are also discussed. We will also address the solubility enhancement, phase-transfer catalysis of different silacrown as well as their application as Ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) and as active phase of PVC electrodes for the development of potentiometric sensors for detection of alkali-Ions.

The rose bengal reagent, based on the phase transfer catalysis technique, is a calcium-targeting reagent that forms an insoluble salt that does not dissolve in a neutral or basic solution. It is expected to be effective in developing a latent fingerprint in a wet sample. However, many previous studies did not observe the fluorescence of the developed fingerprints, nor were the proposed methods of producing the reagents the optimal develop conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the optimum reagent composition of rose bengal by varying the concentration of rose bengal dye and phase transfer catalyst based on maximum emission fluorescence of rose bengal. As a result, it was confirmed that rose bengal and surfactant concentration were the most effective when 0.01M: 0.008M, respectively.

1-Polyoxyphenyl-3-(2, 6-dioxyphenyl)propane-1, 3-diones have been synthesized as intermediates for flavone synthesis by condensation of 2-(2, 6-dioxybenzoyloxy)polyoxyacetophenone in the presence of phae transfer catalyst. The average yields of 1-polyoxyphenyl-3-phenylpropane-1, 3-diones, 1-polyoxyphenyl-3(2-benzyloxyphenyl)propane-1, 3-diones and 1-polyoxy-3-(2, 6-dibenzyloxyphenyl)propane-1, 3-dions were 79%, 74% and 71% respectively. The bulkiness of the benzyloxy groups or methyoxy gorups exerted steric hindrance and reduced the yield. Nevertheless, the yield were higher than the previously reported ones.

A series of some biologically active halogenopurines were synthesized from commercially available guanine (1). The reaction of guanine with acetic anhydride yielded 2,9-diacetylguanine (2-1) by acetylation reaction. Further treatment of 2-1 with $POCl_3$ by PEG-2000 phase transfer catalysis furnished the important compound 3a, then 2-amino-6-halogenopurines (3b-d) were obtained through chlorine-exchange halogenations between KX and 3a by TPPB phase transfer catalyst. Further, 2-halogenopurines (2-2a-d, 4-2a-d, 5a-d) were efficiently prepared from 2-amino-6-substituted purines (1, 3a, 4-1) via a diazotization catalyzed by their corresponding CuX, and some new compounds 2-2a, 2-2c, 2-2d, 4-2c, 4-2d, 5b, 5c and 5d have been discovered. The structures of synthesized compounds were mainly established on the basis of their elemental analysis, $^1H$ NMR, as well as their mass spectral data. All the title compounds were screened for their antifungal activities, and some of the compounds showed promising activity.

The phase transfer catalysis(PTC) reagent, ethyl tri-octyl ammonium bromide(ETABr), strongly catalyzes the reaction of p-nitrophenyi diphenyl phosphinate(p-NPDPIN) with benzimidazole(BI) and its anion($BI^{\theta}$). In ETABr solutions, the dephosphorylation reactions exhibit higher first order kinetics with respect to the nucleophile, BI, and ETABr, suggesting that reactions are occuring in small aggregates of the three species including the sub-strate(p-NPDPIN), whereas the reaction of p-NPDPIN with $OH^{\theta}$ is not catalyzed by ETABr. This behavior for the drastic rate-enhancement of the dephosphorylation is referred as 'aggregation complex model' for reaction of hydrophobic organic phosphinates with benzimidazole(BI) in hydrophobic quarternary ammonium salt(ETABr) solutions.

The reaction conversions of n-butyl acetate in the alkaline hydrolysis of n-butyl acetate by Aliquat 336 were measured in a flat agitator and a dispersion agitator. These measured data was used to analyze the complicated reaction mechanism of the liquid-liquid heterogeneous reaction by a phase transfer catalyst with a pseudo-first order reaction model, a interfacial reaction model and a bulk-body reaction model. The pseudo-firsts order reaction model and the interfacial reaction model could be explained by the experimental data from the dispersion agitator and the bulk-boby reaction model could be explained by those from the flat agitator and the reaction rate constants were $3.1{\times}10^{-4}$, $7.3{\times}10^{-4}$, $6.6m^3/kmol.s$ from these models at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively.

In this study, reaction model and reactions rate accelerated by o-iodosobenzoate ion(IB$^{\ominus}$) on hydrolysis reaction of p-nitrophenyl valate(NPV) using ethyl tri-octyl ammonium mesylate(ETAMs) for quaternary ammonium salts, the phase transfer catalysis(PTC) reagent, were investigated. The effect of IB$^{\ominus}$ on hydrolysis reaction rate constant of NPV was weak without ETAMs solutions. Otherwise, in ETAMs solutions, the hydrolysis reactions exhibit higher first order kinetics with respect to the nucleophile, IB$^{\ominus}$, and ETAMs, suggesting that reactions are occurring in small aggregates of the three species including the substrate(NPV), whereas the reaction of NPV with OH$^{\ominus}$ is not catalyzed by ETAMs. Different concentrations of NPV were tested to measure the change of rate constants to investigate the effect of NPV as substrate and the results showed that the effect was weak. This means the reaction would be the first order kinetics with respect to the nucleophile. This behavior for the drastic rate-enhancement of the hydrolysis is referred as 'Aggregation complex model' for reaction of hydrophobic organic ester with o-iodosobenzoate ion(IB$^{\ominus}$) in hydrophobic quarternary ammonium salt(ETAMs) solutions.

Electrochemical studies on charge transfer reactions across the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) have greatly attracted researcher's attentions due to their wide applicability in research fields such as ion sensing and biosensing, modeling of biomembranes, pharmacokinetics, phase-transfer catalysis, fuel generation and solar energy conversion. In particular, there have been extensive efforts made on developing sensing platforms for ionic species and biomolecules via gelifying one of the liquid phases to improve mechanical stability in addition to creating microscale interfaces to reduce ohmic loss. In this review, we will mainly discuss on the basic principles, applications and future aspects of various sensing platforms utilizing ion transfer reactions across the ITIES. The ITIES is classified into four types : (i) a conventional liquid/liquid interface, (ii) a micropipette supported liquid/liquid interface, (iii) a single microhole or an array of microholes supported liquid/ liquid interface on a thin polymer film, and (iv) a microhole array liquid/liquid interface on a silicon membrane. Research efforts on developing ion selective sensors for water pollutants as well as biomolecule sensors will be highlighted based on the use of direct and assisted ion transfer reactions across these different ITIES configurations.

Catalytic wet oxidation of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water has been conducted using $TiO_2-supported$ cobalt oxides at $36^{\circ}C$ with a weight hourly space velocity of $7,500\;h^{-1}.\;5\%\;CoO_x/TiO_2$, prepared by using an incipient wetness technique, might be the most promising catalyst for the wet oxidation although it exhibited a transient behavior in time on-stream activity. Not only could the bare support be inactive for the wet decomposition reaction, but no TCE removal also occurred by the process of adsorption on $TiO_2$ surface. The catalytic activity was independent of all particle sizes used, thereby representing no mass transfer limitation in intraparticle diffusion. XPS spectra of both fresh and used Co surfaces gave different surface spectral features for each $CoO_x,\;Co\;2P_{3/2}$ binding energy for Co species in the fresh catalyst appeared at 781.3 eV, which is very similar to the chemical states of $CoTiO_x$ such as $CO_2TiO_4\;and\;CoTiO_3$. The used catalyst exhibited a 780.3-eV main peak with a satellite structure at 795.8 eV. Based on XPS spectra of reference Co compound, the TCE-exposed Co surfaces could be assigned to be in the form of mainly $Co_3O_4$. XRD patterns for $5\%\;CoO_x/TiO_2$ catalyst indicated that the phase structure of Co species in the catalyst even before reaction is quite comparable to the diffraction lines of external $Co_3O_4$ standard. A model structure of $CoO_x$ present predominantly on titania surfaces would be $Co_3O_4$, encapsulated in thin-film $CoTiO_x$ species consisting of $Co_2TiO_4$ and $CoTiO_3$, which may be active for the decomposition of TCE in a flow of water.
