The solvolysis rate constants of 3,4- (1) and 3,5-dimethoxybenzoyl (2) chlorides were measured in various pure and binary solvents at $25.0^{\circ}C$, and studied by application of the extended Grunwald-Winstein (G-W) equation, kinetic solvent isotope effect in methanolysis and activation parameters. The solvolysis of 1 was interpreted as the unimolecular pathway due to a predominant resonance effect from para-methoxy substituent like 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (3), while that of 2 was evaluated as the dual mechanism, with unimolecular or bimolecular reaction pathway according to the character of solvent systems (high electrophilic/nucleophilic) chosen, caused by the inductive effect by two meta-methoxy substituents, no resonance one. In the solvolyses of 1 and 2 with two $-OCH_3$ groups, the resonance effect of para-methoxy substituent is more important to decide the mechanism than the inductive effect with other corresponding evidences.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of p-substituted benzenesulfonyl chlorides wiht p-substituted anilines were carried out in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol and 2-propanol mixtures. The salt effect was observed to be inhibited by the reaction of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol with nucleophiles. To investigate the effectiveness of the salt for the nucleophilic substitution reaction the relative salt effect was determined. According to the comparison with the inhibitive salt effect and the substituent effects for the substrates and nucleophiles, the reactions were predicted to be controlled by the salt effect more than substituent effect in HFP-PrOH mixtures.

Theoretical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were performed to study the substituent effect on the geometric and electronic structures as well as the biological behavior of technetium-99m-labeled diphosphonate complexes. Optimized structures of these complexes are surrounded by six ligands in an octahedral environment with three unpaired 4d electrons ($d^3$ state) and the optimized geometry of $^{99m}Tc$-MDP agrees with experimental data. With the increase of electron-donating substituent or tether between phosphate groups, the energy gap between frontier orbitals increases and the probability of non-radiative deactivation via d-d electron transfer decreases. The charge distribution reflects a significant ligand-to-metal electron donation. Based on the calculated geometric and electronic structures and biologic properties of $^{99m}Tc$-diphosphonate complexes, several structure-activity relationships (SARs) were established. These results may be instructive for the design and synthesis of novel $^{99m}Tc$-diphosphonate bone imaging agent and other $^{99m}Tc$-based radiopharmaceuticals.

The Hammett's substituent constants were interpreted for substituted stilbenes by HMO method. The appropriate quantum chemical indices are chosen as independent contribution of the inductive and the resonance effects for substituent constants. It has been found that theoretical values, ${\sigma}_p{^{th}}$, defined as sum of the net charge, self atom polarizability and difference in HOMO energy between substituted- and unsubstituted-stilbenes, correlated with experimental Hammett's substituent constants. The dipole moments were found to be correlated with differences in ${\sigma}_p{^{th}}$ between two substituents for disubstituted stilbenes. It has been also found that transition optical spectra, ${\lambda}_{max}$ of the substituted stilbenes depend on difference between the HOMO and the LUMO energy as expected.

Photochemical reactivities of ${\beta}-ethoxypropiophenones$ are changed dramatically by putting a halogen at a position to the carbonyl functionality. ${\alpha}-Bromo-{\beta}-ethoxypropiophenone$ gives C-Br bond cleavage products solely, but ${\alpha}-chloro-{\beta}-ethoxypropiophenone$ forms mainly the Yang photocyclization products upon irradiation. The different reactivities of two compounds can be explained by relative rates of C-X bond cleavage and a-hydrogen abstraction.

In order to elucidate the effect of alkoxy substituent in thexylborane and hence establish their usefulness as hydroborating agent, reactions of alkenes and alkynes with thexylalkoxyborane (ThxBHOR; R=Et, i-Pr, i-Bu, sec-Bu, t-Bu, Ph) were investigated in detail. The reagents readily hydroborated alkenes and alkynes of various structural types at 25 ℃ in excellent regioselectivity. The selectivity increases consistently with increasing steric size of alkoxy substituent. Especially, the selectivity achieved by the sec-butoxy derivative is comparable to that previously achieved by thexylhaloborane-methyl sulfide (ThxBHX·SMe2), the most selective hydroborating agent known.

Because of the difference in the relative reactivity between two hydroxyl groups of the hydroquinone due to the steric hindrance of the substituent, many combinations of the substituent direction in the polyesters derived from asymmetrical diphenol such as monosubstituted hydroquinone was expected. It was studied how the mode of the direction affected the properties of the resulting polyesters in terms of the transition temperatures of the thermotropic polyesters prepared from terephthalic acid, 2,4-dichloroterephthalic acid and phenylhydroquinone by the reaction using diphenyl chlorophosphate in pyridine. The direction was tried to control the relative reactivity by changing the reaction temperature and the addition time of hydroquinone, and by modifying it through an association of hydroquinone with LiCl.

The fluorescence and photoisomerization quantum yields of trans-1-(9-anthryl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethene (t-4-APyE), 1-(10-methyl-9-anthryl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethene (t-4-MeAPyE), and 1-(10-chloro-9-anthryl)-2-(4- pyridyl)ethene (t-4-ClAPyE) were measured in cyclohexane, acetonitrile, and methanol at room temperature.Polar solvents result in the drastic reduction of fluorescence quantum yield and increase of photoisomerization quantum yield for all three compounds. These results are probably due to the stabilization of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) excited state in polar solvent. The higher contribution of ICT in the presence of more electron-donating methyl substituent, manifested by largest positive fluorescence solvatochromism, indicates that the pyridine ring acts as an electron acceptor. Protonation or methylation makes pyridine ring stronger electron acceptor and causes long-wavelength ground state charge transfer absorption band and complete quenching of fluorescence. The fluorescence from t-4-APyE derivatives can be switched off responding external stimuli viz. medium polarity, protonation, or methylation.

The effect of substituent inleaving group on the rates of reactions of phenacyl substituted-benzenesulfonates with pyridine was determined conductometrically in acetonitrile and in methanol at 35, 45, and $55^{\circ}C$, respectively. The reaction rate became faster in proportion to electron-attracting ability of substituent, which indicates that the substituent in leaving group can directly control reaction rate. It was shown that the specific to the carbonyl carbon as the rate-determining step.
