The application of time-resolved laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLIF) to the complexation studies of Eu(III) and Cm(III) with humic substances is described. Using this method, three different spectroscopic characteristics(excitation spectra, emission spectra, and lifetimes) of these aquo ions and their complexes can be directly measured. By observing shifts in the wavelength and changes in the lifetime and intensities of the fluorescence emission, the information on the complexation behavior of humic substances with these trivalent metal cations in an aqueous solution, as well as energy transfer mechanisms, can be obtained. In addition, this method allows precise spectroscopic quantification of the complexation processes at very low concentrations of both components.

Infrared spectroscopic observations and their analysis revealed many physical and chemical characteristics of the various stars with dust envelopes. Especially, AGB stars and young stellar objects are believed to be major contributors of infrared radiation from galaxies. The wavelength of the peak spectral energy for typical galaxies is about $100{\mu}m$. Therefore, infrared spectral observations of galaxies provide important information for their overall properties. The qualitative analysis of the infrared spectra which are made of various stars and interstellar matter will be possible through a new population synthesis.

Spectroscopic characteristics of river water from four major watersheds in the Ulsan area were measured to examine their potential for estimating water quality parameters. The total 176 river samples were collected from 44 sites of small streams within the watersheds during the year 2006. Spectroscopic characteristics investigated included protein-like fluorescence (FLF) intensity, fulvic-like fluorescence (FLF) intensity, terrestrial humic-like fluorescence (TLF) intensity, UV absorbance at 254 nm, and UV absorbance difference at 220 nm and 254 nm. Protein-like fluorescence intensity showed linear relationships with biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorous (TP) concentrations of the samples with the correlation of 0.784, 0.779, and 0.733, respectively. Due to the UV absorption characteristics of nitrate at 220 nm, UV absorbance difference at 220 nm and 254 nm was selected to represent total nitrogen (TN) concentration. Exclusion of some samples with PLF intensity higher than 5.0 improved the correlation between the UV absorbance difference and TN as demonstrated by the increase of the correlation coefficient from 0.392 to 0.784. Instead, for the samples with PLF intensity lower than 5.0, the highest correlation of TN was achieved with UV absorbance at 254 nm. The results suggest that PLF intensity could be used as the estimation index for BOD, COD, and TP concentration of river water, and as the primary screening index for the prediction of TN using UV absorbance difference. Some BOD-based water quality levels among the river water were statistically discriminated by the PLF intensity. Low p-values were obtained from the t-tests on the samples with the first level and the second level (p=0.0003) and the samples with the second and the third levels (p=0.0413). Our combined results demonstrated that the selected spectroscopic characteristics of river water could be utilized as a tool for on-site real-time monitoring and/or the primary estimation of water quality.

4-Ethyltropolone has been prepared in three steps from cyclopentadiene by a dichloroketene process, and at the same time, a comparison has also been made with the case of tropolone synthesis. In the addition reaction of dichloroketene to cyclopentadiene as well as to ethylcyclopentadiene, and also in the separation of cycloadducts from reaction mixture, the best results were given by prevention of the reactants from dimerization. Under these condition, the yields of cycloadducts were around 70% for both. Tropolone and 4-ethyltropolone were obtained in the yield of 51% and 32%, respectively, by hydrolysis of cycloadducts with potassium acetate in aqueous acetic acid. These results revealed that the steric effect of ethylgroup was more sensitive to the hydrolysis than to the cycloaddition reaction. A comparison of UV, IR and NMR spectroscopic results of 4-ethyltropolone with those of tropolone was also made together with a brief discussion of the tropolone ring system and ethylgroup effect.

Characteristics of micro carbon structures fabricated with laser-induced chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) are investigated. An argon ion laser (λ＝514.5nm) and ethylene gas were utilized as the energy source and precursor, respectively. The laser beam was focused onto a graphite substrate to produce carbon deposit through thermal decomposition of the precursor. Average growth rate of a carbon rod increased for increasing laser power and pressure. Micro carbon rods with good surface quality were obtained at near the threshold condition. Micro carbon rods with aspect ratio of about 100 and micro tubular structures were fabricated to demonstrate the possible application of this method to the fabrication of three-dimensional microstructures. Laser Raman spectroscopic analysis of the micro carbon structures revealed that the carbon rods are consisting of amorphous carbon.

마다가스카르산 사파이어를 수평 알루미나 튜브의 전기로에서 대기중의 산화분위기 하에 $1650^{\circ}C$, 50시간의 조건으로 $Be^{2+}$의 확산 처리를 하였다. 자외선-가시광선 분광분석 결과는 각 시료 마다 차이는 있으나 전체적으로 $Fe^{2+}$에서 $Fe^{3+}$로 산화의 원인으로 청색이 옅어졌고 청자색 사파이어는 $Cr^{3+}$에 의한 분홍색이 나타났다. $Be^{2+}$의 확산 처리로 부분적인 갈색이 나타난 청색 사파이어에서는 진한 주황색 부분이 나타났고, 옥화메틸렌에 의한 침적실험 관찰 결과로 시료들의 가장자리에 주황색의 집중현상이 나타났음을 확인하였다. 또한 기존에 있던 내포물도 변화가 나타났다. 그러나 확산 처리 온도의 한계로 더 많은 양의 $Be^{2+}$의 확산이 이루어 지지는 못했다.

A systematic study of the structure, energetics and spectral characteristics of substituted aminoketenes $R(NH_2)$C=C=O (R = H, $CH_3$, $NH_2$, OH, $OCH_3$, CH=$CH_2$, C$\equiv$CH, CN, CHO, NO, $NO_2$) which are highly reactive and transient intermediates in synthesis has been conducted by ab initio calculations at the MP2/6- 31G*//MP2/6-31G* level. Twenty four stable isomers of the eleven substituted aminoketenes having dihedral angles $\phi NH_2\sim120{^{\circ}}$ and $60^{\circ}$ have been identified and their optimized geometries and energies obtained. Electrostatic and steric effects on the molecular geometries have been analyzed. While the $\pi$-acceptor groups lead to planar conformations, the electron-donor groups give rise to non-planar conformations. Isodesmic substituent stabilization energies relative to alkenes have been calculated and correlation with group electronegativities established. Role of induction effect by the substituent groups and resonance effects in charge distribution in the molecules has been analyzed. An analysis of the asymmetric stretching frequencies and intensities of the C=C=O group shows that affect of non-$\pi$ acceptor substituents on the frequency is determined by the field effect (F) and resonance effect (R) parameters, the calculated intensities I (km/mol.) are correlated to group electronegativities $x$ of the substituents by the relationship I = 640.2–100.1 $x$ (r = 0.92). The $\pi$-acceptor substituents increase the intensity which may be explained in terms of their delocalizing effect on the negative charge at the $C_{\beta}$ atom.

The effects of anthryl derivatives and 9-aminoacridine on the thermal melting profile of a poly(dA)[poly(dT)]₂triplex were compared 9-Aminoacridine stabilizes the triplex far more effectively than anthryl derivatives. The absorption and CD and LD spectroscopic characteristics of anthryl derivatives are similar to those of 9-aminoacridine when complexed with the triplex; the N atom of acridine, which can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor, plays an important role in triplex stabilization.

Norfloxacin, that inhibits the action of topoisomerase Ⅱ, binds to wide variety of DNA. The binding mode of this drug to double- and super-coiled DNA (ds- and scDNA) is compared in this study by various spectroscopic methods, including absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism(CD) spectroscopy. Hypochromism in the absorption band, negative and positive induced CD bands (respectively in 240-260 nm and 270-300 nm region) are apparent for the norfloxacin that bound to both the dsDNA and scDNA. A decrease in fluorescence is also noticed in the presence of both DNAs. Since the spectroscopic characteristics are the same for both complexes, it is imperative that the binding mode of the norfloxacin is similar in ds- and scDNA. In the presence of $Mg^{2+}$, which is a cofactor in the topoisomerase Ⅱ action, the fluorescence intensity of the scDNA-norfloxacin complex increased and the resulting fluorescence intensity and shape was identical to that in the absence of scDNA. Therefore, the addition of an excess amount of $Mg^{2+}$ may result in the extrusion of norfloxacin from scDNA.
