Electrophilic methylation reactions of five-membered heteroaromatic compounds, furan, pyrrole and thiophene, with the dimethylfluoronium ion, ${CH_3}{FCH_3}(+), have been investigated theoretically by the MNDO method. The site selectivity of ${\alpha}, {\beta}$ and heteroatom (X) is related to charge density of the site, indicating that the site selectivity is dictated by electrosatic interaction between two reaction centers. The reactivity order between the three heteroaromatics can not be determined decisively since the order differs depending on which site is compared, with relatively low activation enthalpies, ${\Delta}{H^\neq}$= 20-30 kcal/mol, in all cases. These site and substrate selectivity behaviors are consistent with the gas-phase experimental results.

In this paper, cobalt embedded in nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon nanotubes (CoNSTs) were synthesized for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts. The CoNSTs were prepared through a facile heat treatment method without any templates. Different amounts of the metal salt were employed to examine the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the CoNSTs. The CoNSTs showed the bamboo-like tube morphology with the encased Co nanoparticles in the tubes. Through the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, the catalysts exhibited different chemical states of the nitrogen and sulfur species. As a result, the CoNST performed high activity toward the ORR in an acidic condition with the onset potential of 0.863 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode). It was clearly demonstrated from the electrochemical characterizations that the quality of the nitrogen and sulfur species significantly influences the ORR activity rather than the total amount of the dopants.

과당(fructose)로부터 간단한 공정을 통하여 바이오디젤보다 우수한 청정에너지 연료로 알려진 5-하이드록시메틸퍼퓨랄(HMF)을 제조하는 청정공정을 개발하였다. 이 연구에서는 중심원소와 배위원소가 치환된 네 종류의 헤테로폴리산 $H_nXM_{12}O_{40}$ (중심원소 X = P, Si, 배위원소 M = W, Mo.)을 과당으로부터 HMF로 전환하는 탈수반응에 적용하고, 그 반응활성을 비교하였다. 헤테로폴리산의 산 세기는 중심원소가 P, 배위원소가 W일 때 더 높았으며 산 점의 수는 이와 반대되는 경향을 보였다. 과당의 HMF로의 탈수반응은 헤테로폴리산의 산 특성과 음이온의 연성(softness)과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 촉매 활성점과 전환율이 상쇄 작용하여 네 종류의 헤테로폴리산 촉매는 서로 비슷한 활성을 보였다. 또한 반응에 사용된 헤테로폴리산을 반응온도보다 높은 $200^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 후에도 그 결정구조가 유지되는 것을 확인하였으며, 이를 통하여 헤테로폴리산의 반응활성이 안정적으로 유지됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The possible ways for increasing the antioxidant properties of vitamin E have been investigated with density function theory. The effect of replacing three methyl groups of vitamin E with various substituents such as electron donating and electron withdrawing groups on the antioxidant properties of vitamin E were investigated. Also the effects of the reducing the number of atoms in the heterocyclic ring and replacing the oxygen heteroatom with other heteroatoms on the antioxidant properties of vitamin E were investigated. The novel structures that obtained from replacing methyl groups with substituents such as $NH_2$, OH, COOH and NHMe have greater antioxidant activity than vitamin E. Obtained results reveal that novel structure that obtained with replacing O with NH hetroatom would be a better antioxidant than vitamin E. The results reveal that reducing the number of atoms in the heterocyclic ring is a better way to synthesize novel antioxidants.

본 연구에서는 양이온, 중심원소, 배위원소가 치환된 Keggin 형 및 Wells-Dawson 형 헤테로폴리산 촉매의 NDR(negative differential resistance) 거동을 STM(scanning tunneling microscopy)을 이용하여 살펴보았다. 헤테로폴리산 촉매의 NDR 전압과 산화환원능력 사이에는 일정한 상관관계가 있었다. 촉매의 구조적 차이에 상관없이 산화환원능력이 높은 헤테로폴리산 촉매는 보다 낮은 음전압에서 NDR 거동을 나타내었다. 이처럼 NDR 전압은 촉매의 산화환원능력을 대변하는 하나의 correlating parameter로 활용될 수 있었다.

Conjugated polymers have attracted much scientific and technological research interest during the past few decades because of their potential use such as polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs).1,2 Particularly, lots of phenylene-based polymers such as polyfluorene and its derivatives have been synthesized because of their high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies and thermal stabilities. However, troublesome long wavelength emission in polymer film of polyfluorenes on heating during device formation or operation has been the crucial problem for practical applications. The source of the long wavelength emission was initially believed to be solely due to excimer emission as a result of polymer aggregation. It has also recently been correlated with emissions from ketonic defects in the fluorene units. Many efforts have been made to reduce the tendency to red-shifted emission. Here, we report for the first time the design and synthesis of novel 9,9-spiro bifluornene-based polymers containing heteroatoms such as N, S in its molecular skeleton. Especially, the 9,9-spiro bifluornene-based polymers containing N atom showed stable blue electroluminescence, which did not show spectral change upon thermal annealing.

In the course of developing novel antitumor intercalating agents, we synthesized 3- carbamoyloxymethyl-azaanthraquinones 6-12, incorporating the latent alkylating functionality. These compounds were designed to explore the effect of heteroatom incorporation into anthraquinone chromophore and the effect of the incorporation of the latent alkylating functionality. The derivatives were prepared by hetero Diels-Alder reaction as a key step followed by functionality of allylic methyl to the desired substituents. Growth inhibitory studies of the azaanthraquinones were conducted in vitro against human cancer cell lines (SNU-354: liver and MCF7: breast) and human epidermoid carcinoma cells that are sensitive (KB-3-1) and multidrug-resistant (KB-V-1). The derivatives were 10 to 100-fold less potent than doxorubicin against sensitive cell lines. However, they were marginally cross-resistant with doxorubicin against KB-V-1.

Transmission of substituent effects through 5-membered heteroaromaticrings isinvestigated theoretically at the RHF/6-31+G* and B3LYP/6-31+G* levelsusing the deprotonation equilibria of phenol analogues with heteroatoms Y = NH, O, PHand S. The incr ease in the resonance delocalization of the $\pilone-pair$ on the phe-nolic oxygen atom, $n\pi(O)$, accompanied with the deprotonation depends on the heteroatom Y,in the order NH < O < PH < S. This represents the $\pielectron$ accepting ability, or conversely reverse order of the $\pielectron$ donating ability of the $\pilone-pair$ on Y, $n\pi(Y).$ The transmission efficiency of substituenteffects is, however,in the reverse order NH > O > S, which represents the order of delocalizability of $n\pi(Y).$ A better correlation is obtained with ${\sigma}p$ - than with ${\sigma}p$ for the Hammett type plots with the positive slope, $\rho-$ > 0, of the magnitude in the same order as that for the delocalizability of $n\pi(Y).$ Thedeprotonation energy, ΔG = [G(PA) + G(H+)] -G(P), decreases with the increasein the extence delocalization in the order NH > O > PH > S.

Alkaline oxygen electrocatalysis, targeting anion exchange membrane alkaline-based metal-air batteries has become a subject of intensive investigation because of its advantages compared to its acidic counterparts in reaction kinetics and materials stability. However, significant breakthroughs in the design and synthesis of efficient oxygen reduction catalysts from earth-abundant elements instead of precious metals in alkaline media still remain in high demand. One of the most inexpensive alternatives is carbonaceous materials, which have attracted extensive attention either as catalyst supports or as metal-free cathode catalysts for oxygen reduction. Also, carbon composite materials have been recognized as the most promising because of their reasonable balance between catalytic activity, durability, and cost. In particular, heteroatom (e.g., N, B, S or P) doping on carbon materials can tune the electronic and geometric properties of carbon, providing more active sites and enhancing the interaction between carbon structure and active sites. Here, we focused on boron and nitrogen doped nanocarbon composit (BNC nanocarbon) catalysts synthesized by a solution plasma process using the simple precursor of pyridine and boric acid without further annealing process. Additionally, guidance for rational design and synthesis of alkaline ORR catalysts with improved activity is also presented.
