Barley $\beta$-glucan was subjected to chemical modification and the anticoagulant activity of the derivative was investigated. The barley $\beta$-glucan was successfully sulfated, showing the degree of substitution calculated by elemental analysis of 0.40. In addition, the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of the derivative confirmed the sulfation, which generated two new absorption bands at 1,250/cm (S=O) and 810/cm (C-O-S) compared to the native. Specially, the anticoagulant activity of barley $\beta$-glucan was created by sulfation, which increased in a concentration-dependent manner. This result demonstrated that the incorporation of sulfate groups into the $\beta$-glucan structure added a blood clotting prevention effect.

The effect of oral iron supplementation was assessed on blood iron levels and Pb and Cd levels in erythrocytes, hair and urine of 101 Puchon 5th grade school children with suboptimal iron status. Treatment with 25mg of elemental iron per day for 8weeks resulted in a significant increase in the intake of most nutrients in addition to iron. Iron supplementation resulted in significant improvements in hemoglobin, MU, MCH, MCHC, serum ferritin, serum iron, TIBC, and transferrin saturation of subjects(p<0.05 - p<0.01) and cocomitantly lowered Pb and Cd levels in erythrocytes, hair, and urine(p<0.01). Regression analysis showed that only iron intake contributed to significant increases in hemoglobin and serum ferritin. It seems that 25mg of iron supplementation is safe and adequate to improve iron status in school children with suboptimal iron status and it also has the benefit of alleviating Pb and Cd status.

Copolymers with two different side groups, 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy and p-chlorophenoxy groups, have been synthesized by reaction of poly(dichlorophosphazene) with their sodium salts, and characterized by elemental analysis, gel permeation chromatography, IR and NMR spectroscopies. The molecular weight measurement has shown that the weight average molecular weight, ${\bar{M}}_w$ of the copolymers are all above $10^6$ and their molecular weight distributions are monomodal and narrow (${\bar{M}}_w/{\bar{M}}_n<4$). Thermal properties of these copolymers measured by DSC and TGA exhibited to be intermediate between those of the two corresponding homopolymers.

The addition of L-cysteine without blocking amino and carboxyl groups to${\beta},{\beta}$-dinitrostyrene derivatives(11a-e) were investigated. ${\beta},{\beta}$ -Dinitrostyrene derivatives(11a-e) easily undergo addition reactions with L-cysteine to from s-(2,2-dinitro-1-phenylethyl)-L-cysteine(12a), s-[2,2-dinitro-1-(p-methyl)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine (12b), s-[2,2-dinitro-1-(p-methoxy)phenylethyl]-L-cystein e(12c), s-[2,2-dinitro-1-(p-chloro)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine (12d) and s-[2,2-dinitro-1-(p-nitro)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine( 12a), respectively. The structure of adducts were confirmed by means of spectral data, molecular weight measurement and elemental analysis.

Poly[(tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal)-alt-(maleic anhydride)] was synthesized by free radical copolymerizations of the relevant comonomers. The alternating sequence of the copolymer was confirmed by $^1$H-NMR, elemental analysis, and titration of anhydride groups incorporated into the copolymer. Hydrolysis of the copolymer under different conditions resulted in poly[(2-acetoxymethyl-3,4-diacetoxytetrahydropyran-5,6-diyl) (1,2-dicarboxyethylene)] and poly[(2-hydroxymethyl-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydropyran-5,6-diyl) (1,2-dicarboxyethylene)]. The cytotoxicities of these polymers measured against normal and tumor cells (3LL, B16) in vitro were found to be higher than that of DIVEMA, a prototype polymer having a high antitumor activity.

Tetradentate Schiff base ligands derived from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and aliphatic diamine have been synthesized. Cu(Ⅱ) complexes of Schiff base ligands have been synthesized from the free ligands and copper acetate. The mole ratio of ligand to copper was identified to be 1:1 by the result of elemental analysis and Cu(Ⅱ) complexes were in a four-coordinated configuration. The electrochemical redox process of Cu(Ⅱ) complexes in a DMF solution has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, differential pulse voltammetry, and controlled potential coulometry. The redox process of Cu(Ⅱ) complexes is one electron transfer process in quasi-reversible and diffusion-controlled reaction. The electrochemical redox potentials and the kinetic parameters of Cu(Ⅱ) complexes are affected by the chelate ring of Schiff base ligands.

A novel optically active tetraamine ligand possessing four asymmetric centers, N,N'-bis(2(S)-aminopropyl)-1(R),2(R)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (SRRS-apchxn) and its cobalt(Ⅲ) complexes, [Co(SRRS-apchxn)X2]n+ (X=Cl-, H2O, X2=CO32-) have been synthesized. This ligand has coordinated stereospecifically to the cobalt(Ⅲ) ion to give only the Λ-uns-cis-(SS) isomer. A trans dichloro complex has been obtained via the stereospecific isomerization of Λ-uns-cis-(SS)-[Co(SRRS-apchxn)Cl2]+ to trans-(SS)-[Co(SRRS-apchxn) Cl2]+ in CH3OH-HCl medium. Ligand and complexes have been characterized by electronic absorption, 1H NMR, CD spectra, and also by elemental analysis. It is of interest that this is one of the few CoⅢ(N4)X2 type complex preparations, which produces such an uns-cis isomer with stereospecificity.

Mer,trans-Re(≡NC6H5)(PPh3)2Cl3, Ⅰ, reacted with trimethylphosphine to give a mixture of two stereoisomers, mer,trans-Re(≡NC6H5)(PMe3)2Cl3,Ⅱ, and fac,cis-Re(≡NC6H5)(PMe3)2Cl3, Ⅲ. These compounds could also be prepared from the reaction of Re(≡NC6H5)(PMe3)(PPh3)Cl3 with trimethylphosphine. In both reactions the mer,trans-isomer is a major product. The products have been characterized by NMR, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography.

Hydrocarbon solution of $Cp_2Zr(CH_3)Cl$ react rapidly with $Na_2Fe(CO)_4$ (1/2 equiv.) to yield $[Cp_2Zr(CH_3)]_2Fe(CO)_4$ and NaCl. The more soluble metal-metal bonded complex $[Cp_2ZrC_8H_{17}]_2Fe(CO)_2$ has also been prepared through the reaction of $Cp_2Zr(C_8H_{17})BF_4$ and $Na_2Fe(CO)_4 (1/2 equiv.). The complexes were characterized by IR, $^1H$ NMR, ^{13}C$ NMR, and elemental analysis. The infrared spectrum of $[Cp_2ZrR]_2Fe(CO)_4$ shows four bands, which is indicative of a cis-structure. The $^{13}C$ NMR spectrum provides evidence for the cis-structure.

Fifty eight obsidian artifacts and four obsidian source samples have been analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Artifact samples have been classified into classes by unsupervised learning techniques such as eigenvector projection and nonlinear mapping. The source samples have thereafter been connected to the classes by the supervised learning techniques such as SLDA and SIMCA so as to characterize each class by possible source sites. Some difference attributable to different nonlinear mapping techniques and the elemental effects on the separation between classes have been discussed.
