The titled dye of DBPI gives amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with maximum at 580 nm upon pumping by nitrogen laser (${\lambda}_{ex}\;=\;337.1\;nm$). The ground state absorption cross section (${\sigma}_A$) and emission cross section (${\sigma}_E$) as well as effective emission cross section(${\sigma}^*_E$) have been determined. The electronic absorption spectra of DBPI were measured in ethanol and tetrahydrofuran at room and low temperature. DBPI displays molecular aggregation in water. The photochemical reactivity of DBPI was also studied in carbon tetrachloride upon irradiation with 525 nm light. The electrochemical investigation of DBPI dye has been carried out using cyclic voltammetry and convolution deconvolution voltammetry combined with digital simulation technique at a platinum electrode in 0.1 mol/L tetrabutyl ammonium perchlorate (TBAP) in two different solvents acetonitrile ($CH_3CN$) and dimethylformamide (DMF). The species were reduced via consumption of two sequential electrons to form radical anion and dianion (EE mechanism). In switching the potential to positive direction, the compound was oxidized by loss of two sequential electrons, which were followed by a fast dimerization and/or aggregation process i.e $EC_{dim1}EC_{dim2}$ mechanism. The electrode reaction pathway and the chemical and electrochemical parameters of the investigated compound were determined using cyclic and convolutive voltammetry. The extracted electrochemical parameters were verified and confirmed via digital simulation method.

식품의 상품화에 따라 식품 첨가물의 사용이 증가되고 있다. 식품 첨가물로서 색소는 고유의 색소를 보존하기 어려운 식품에 따라 사용되며 tar 색소, 식물성 색소 및 광물성 색소로 나눌 수 있는데 tar 색소는 독성이 강한 것이 많으므로 현재 15종만이 법적으로 허용되어 있다. 이중 azo 화합물인 amaranth, tartrazine, sunset yellow, allura red에 대하여 흰 주위 hepatic azo reductase의 활성을 측정 비교하였고 이에 대한 flavin의 효과를 보았다. 1. Amaranth를 기질로 사용하여 kinetic constants $Km=645\;\mu\textrm{M}$, Vmax=50 n mol/min/mg protein의 값을 얻었다. 2. Amaranth의 농도를 일정하게 하고 FAD의 농도를 증가시켰을 때 hepatic azo reductase의 활성은 현저히 증가하였으나 NADPH-generating system에 의한 환원은 작은 증가를 나타냈다. 3. 기타 식용 azo 색소 tartrazine, sunset yellow, allura red를 기지로 azo reductase activity를 측정한 결과 sunset yellow는 amaranth와 비슷한 환원활성은 나타냈고, tartrazine은 보다 낮은 환원활성을 allura red는 보다 높은 환원활성을 나타냈으며, $300\;\mu\textrm{M}-FAD$에 의해 기질 모두에서 환원활성이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

To develop a methodology for absolute determination of the surface areal density of functional groups on organic and bio thin films, medium energy ion scattering (MEIS) spectroscopy was utilized to provide references for calibration of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or Fourier transformation-infrared (FT-IR) intensities. By using the MEIS, XPS, and FT-IR techniques, we were able to analyze the organic thin film of a Ru dye compound ($C_{58}H_{86}O_8N_8S_2Ru$), which consists of one Ru atom and various stoichiometric functional groups. From the MEIS analysis, the absolute surface areal density of Ru atoms (or Ru dye molecules) was determined. The surface areal densities of stoichiometric functional groups in the Ru dye compound were used as references for the calibration of XPS and FT-IR intensities for each functional group. The complementary use of MEIS, XPS, and FT-IR to determine the absolute surface areal density of functional groups on organic and bio thin films will be useful for more reliable development of applications based on organic thin films in areas such as flexible displays, solar cells, organic sensors, biomaterials, and biochips.

In this study, we synthesized a new fluorescent polypyridyl dye 2 containing a 2,2'-bipyridine in the center and two 2,2':6',2"-terpyridines at both ends. When exposed to various metal ions, the dye 2 showed selective fluorescence responses. In the presence of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$, it exhibited a highly effective fluorescence quenching, leading to large $K_{sv}$ values of up to $10^5$. In response to most other metal ions including $Al^{3+}$, in contrast, its fluorescence changes little, showing a small Ksv value at $10^2$. Meanwhile, the compound 2 revealed a differentiated fluorescence response to $Zn^{2+}$, which is evidenced by a large red shift of > 100 nm. Such a red shift from the ion binding is attributed to the planarization of the bipyridyl unit extending the effective conjugation length in conjunction. A polypyridyl compound will find important usefulness in chemosensor application due to its selective binding to metal ions. Subsequent research concerned with modified derivatives is currently going on, as a way to provide high solubility even after metal-complexing.

In the course of screening for substances that inhibit etoposide (10 ${\mu}g$/ml)-induced apoptosis in human leukemia U937 cells, fungal strain F000120, which exhibits potent inhibitory activity, was selected. The active compound was purified from an ethyl acetate extract of the microorganism by Sep-pak $C_{18}$ column chromatography and HPLC, and was identified as heptelidic acid (koningic acid) by spectroscopic methods. This compound inhibited caspase-3 induction in U937 cells with an $IC_{50}$ value of 40 ${\mu}M$ after 8 h of etoposide treatment. Fluorescent dye staining with acridine orange and ethidium bromide showed that heptelidic acid inhibited apoptosis. Furthermore, it was found that DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activation, the biological hallmarks of apoptosis, were inhibited by the compound in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that heptelidic acid inhibits etoposide-induced apoptosis via downregulation of caspases.

목재부후균은 리그닌 분해효소로 lignin peroxidase (LIP), Mn-peroxidase (MNP) 및 laccase를 생성하는데 균류에 따라 위의 효소중 하나 혹은 둘 이상의 효소를 분비하거나 전혀 생성하지 않는 균도 있다. 본 실험은 이러한 목재 부후균의 효소생성 양상과 몇 종의 염료화합물 탈색과의 상관관계를 조사하고자 하였다. 조사한 23종 36균주 중 MNP 생성균은 30균주였으며 LIP 혹은 laccase 생성균은 각각 11균주와 12균주였다. 또한 같은 종에서도 효소활성은 다양한 양상을 보여 주었다. 리그닌 분해효소 활성과 비교하여 염료 탈색 정도는 세 효소가 모두 분비되는 백색 부후균의 경우 염료 탈색율이 상대적으로 우수하였고 균주에 따라 차이가 있으나 MNP 활성만을 갖는 균주의 경우, poly R-478 polymeric dye 및 anthron-type dye 인 remazol brilliant blue R염료는 효소 활성도와 다소 유연관계를 보였으며 methylene blue, bromophenol blue및 congo red 염료는 위의 효소들과는 직접적인 관련이 없는 것으로 판단되었으며, 오히려 균사의 생장과 비례하여 탈색율을 나타냈다. LIP, MNP 및 laccase 효소활성이 거의 검출되지 않은 갈색 부후균에서는 bromophenol blue를 제외하고는 염료의 탈색이 10%미만 혹은 전혀 탈색이 되지 앓았다.

In order to study the dyeability of wool S-cyano ethylated wool-keratine(SCEK) as a model compound of wool was prepared from the reaction of reduced merino wool fiber and acrylonitrile. The binding of acid dyes(methyl orange and it's homologs) by SCEK over the temperature 60~9$0^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters in the course of the binding were evaluated. It was found that at the 60~9$0^{\circ}C$ range complex formation between the dye and SCEK is associated with an exothermic enthalpy change and a positive entropy change. The enthalpy and entropy changes of the binding are of the order of -4.5 kcal/mole and 8.5 eu, respectively, for each dye measured. Thus the binding is mainly enthalpy-controlled. Furthermore the effect of the alkyl chain length of the dye on both the ΔH$^{\circ}$and ΔS$^{\circ}$value is not prounced. Also temperature dependences of the ΔH$^{\circ}$and ΔS$^{\circ}$values were not obserbed.

We prepared an ionic gel polymer electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) without leakage problem. Triiodide compound (BTDI) was synthesized by the reaction of benzene tricarbonyl trichloride with diethylene glycol monotosylate and subsequent substitution of tosylate by iodide using NaI. Bisimidazole was prepared by the reaction of imidazole with the triethylene glycol ditosylate under strongly basic condition provided by NaH. BTDI and bisimidazole dissolved in an ionic liquid were injected into the cells and permeated into the $TiO_2$ nanopores. In situ crosslinking was then carried out by heating to form a network structure of poly(imidazolium iodide), thereby converting the ionic liquid electrolytes to a gel or a quasi-solid state. A monomer (BTDI and bisimidazole) concentration in the electrolytes of as low as 30 wt% was sufficient to form a stable gel type electrolyte. The DSSCs based on the gel polymer electrolytes showed a power conversion efficiency of as high as 1.15% with a short circuit current density of $5.69\;mAcm^{-2}$, an open circuit voltage of 0.525 V, and a fill factor of 0.43.

In this study, a novel gas sensor based on evanescent field coupling between single mode side polished fiber and solvatochromic dye dispersed polymer waveguide was demonstrated. We fabricated a side polished optical fiber device as a volatile organic compounds gas detector. Solvatochromic dye was coated on the top of the side polished optical fiber to take advantage of evanescent field coupling. The solvatochromism can be defined as the phenomenon whereby a compound changes color, either by a change in the absorption or emission spectra of molecule, when reacted in different VOCs. The device reacted to polarity gases like a hexane, butane, xylene etc. The resonance wavelength was shifted by the xylene concentration which range was 0.1 ppm ~ 100 ppm. Also, the response with the concentration was lineer and the detection limit was 0.1 ppb.
