Major factors including solvent and reaction temperature in the cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE), photoinduced in the presence of diphenyliodonium iodide (DPII) zinc iodide in toluene/diethyl ether mixed solvent has been investigated. It was found that the living nature of the propagating species and the tacticity of the resulting polymer is significantly dependent on these factors. The addition of diethyl ether (DEE) results in not only the loss of the cationic living nature but also decrease in the isotactic content.

Amorphous chalcogenide thin films, especially a-(Se, S) based films, exhibit a number of photoinduced phenomena not observed in other types of amorphous thin films. The polarization holographic grating has been formed in amorphous As-Ge-Se-S thin films using two linearly polarized He-Ne laser light. In addition, dffraction efficiency has been measured by the same laser of a relative lower intensity at the same time.

Azobenzene functionalized polymers have been extensively investigated due to the potential applications in the areas of optical switching, optical elements, optical information storage, and nonlinear optics. These applications are mainly achievable due to photoinduced properties of azobenzene groups with photoisomerization and photoinduced anisotropy. We report applications to the optoelectronic devices using inscribed one-(1D) and two-dimensional (2D) SRGs on azo polymer films. The inscribed holographic SRGs patterns were useful to control or enhance optoelectronic properties such as transparent electrode patterning, hybrid solar cell and ultraviolet GaN-based LED.

The structurally rigid $\alpha$-(o-alkylphenyl) acetophenone derivatives lacking $\beta$-hydrogens, 3,3-dimethyl-2-o-tolylibdan-1-one and 2-o-tolyl-benzofuran-3-one, were prepared and their photochemical behaviors were examined. The former did not give any photoproduct while the latter turned into its enol tautomer. The difference of reactivity of two ketones was attributed to aromatic character of the extol of the benzofuranone. It was concluded that the reaction occurred via photoinduced 1,3-H transfer.

Photoinduced charge separation of alkylphenothiazines in molecular assemblies such as positively, negatively and neutrally charged micelle interface results in the paramagnetic phenothiazine cation radical. This was studied as a model system for the light energy conversion into chemical energy. The photoproduced phenothaizne cation radical was identified and its amount was quantized with electron spin resonance (ESR). The microenvironment of photoproduced cation radical was studied with pulsed-ESR. Such a charge separation is enhanced by the optimization of various structural factors of the molecular assemblies. The structural factors of molecular assemblies have focused on the interface charge, interface structure with different headgroups and interfacial perturbation by disolving interface active organic additives.

The photoproduced cation radical of N-methylphenothiazine doped in the different kind of matrices of phenyltriethoxysilane (PhiTEOS), vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEOS), and methyloiethoxysilane (METOS) was comparatively studied with electron spin resonance (ESR) and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR). The photoinduced charge separation efficiency was determined by integration of ESR spectra which correspond to the amount of photoproduced cation radical in the matrices. This was correlatively studied with the polarity and pore size of the gel matrices. The polarity of the matrices was comparatively determined by measuring λ$\sub$max/ values of PC$_1$ in the different matrices. The relative pore size among the matrices was determined by measuring relative proton matrix ENDOR line widths of the photoproduced cation radical of PCI. The decay kinetic constants of the cation radical of PCI in the different matrices was relatively studied with fitting the biexponential decay curves after exposure into the ambient condition. This is correlatively interpreted with the polarity and pore size of the matrices.

The molecular association of acceptors with electron donors is studied in the highly-polar solvent $CH_3CN$. Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) forms a stable charge-transfer complex with donor molecules such as 4- aminobiphenyl (4-AB), benzidine (BD) and 2-aminobiphenyl (2-AB) with high association constants. The complexes of TCNQ with 4-AB or BD show new absorption bands at around 800 and 500 nm, which can be identified as reduced $TCNQ^{{\bullet}-}$ and $TCNQ^{2-}$ species, respectively. These bands grow quickly upon photoirradiation, implying that the charge-transfer complexes are easily formed in an excited state. Conversely, a small spectral manifestation of the charge transfer was observed in the case of 2-AB complex. It is demonstrated that the structural orientation between the geminate ion pairs could play an important role in building a stable complex.

The dependence of diffraction efficiency as a funct~on of film thickness and incident angle has been investigated in amorphous chalcogenide thin films, which act as a polarization holographic materials. Especially a-(Se, S) based films exhibit a number of photoinduced phenomena not observed in other types of amorphous thin films. Holographic gratings in amorphous As-Ge-Se-S thin films have been formed using the mutual perpendicular polarized(linearly) He-Ne laser light. We could obtain the optimum condition to get high diffraction efficiency.

Noncovalently linked electron donor-acceptor dyad consisting of zinc tetratolylporphyrin and pyridine appended ruthenium trisbipyridine comlex was prepared, via axial coordination of pyridine moiety in ruthenium trisbipyridine complex on zinc tetratolylporphyrin. For the purpose of comparison, axial coordination of pyridine-appended 2,2'-bipyridine on zinc tetratolylporphyrin was also investigated. The Kvalues were detemined based on absorption of fluorescence studies. The fluorescence of zinc teratolylporphrin was efficiently quenched upon axial coordination of pyridine moiety, prbably due to the photoinduced electron transfer from zinc tetrtolylporphyrin to ruthenium trisbipyridine, supported by free enegy estimation.

This paper describes the synthesis and water sensing properties of a fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) sensor (5) with an extended operating sensing range. The 1,8-naphthalimide derivative (5) attached with a piperazine group and a carboxylic group was synthesized and applied as a fluorescent water sensor in water-miscible organic solvents. The fluorescence intensity of the dye 5 increased with increasing water content up to 80% (v/v) and the fluorescence intensities were enhanced 45-, 67- and 122-fold in aqueous EtOH, DMF and DMSO solutions, respectively. In aqueous acetone solution, the enhancement of the fluorescence intensities was somewhat lower (30-fold) but the response range was wider (0-90%, v/v).
