The P1 duplex of Tetrahymena group I ribozyme is the important system for studying the conformational changes in folding of ribozyme. The formation of the P1 duplex between IGS and substrate RNA and the catalytic activity of ribozyme require a variety of metal ions such as $Mg^{2+}$ and $Mn^{2+}$. In order to investigate the effect of the $Mg^{2+}$ concentration on the conformation of the P1 duplex, the NMR study was performed as a function of $Mg^{2+}$ concentration. This study revealed that the less stable AU-rich region formed duplex at $50{^{\circ}C}$ under high $Mg^{2+}$ concentration condition but melts out under low $Mg^{2+}$ concentration condition. It was also found that in the active conformation under 10 mM $MgCl_2$ condition, the unstable central G${\cdot}$U wobble pair maintains the significant base pairing up to $50{^{\circ}C}$. This study provides the information of the unique feature of the P1 duplex structure and the roll of $Mg^{2+}$ ion on the formation of the active conformation.

A novel method was developed for the speciation of chromium in natural water samples based on homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). In this method, Cr(III) reacts with a new Schiff's base ligand to form the hydrophobic complex, which is subsequently entrapped in the sediment phase, whereas Cr(VI) remained in aqueous phase. The Cr(VI) assay is based on its reduction to Cr(III) by the addition of sodium sulfite to the sample solution. Thus, separation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) could be realized. Homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction based on the pH-independent phase-separation process was investigated using a ternary solvent system (water-tetrabutylammonium ion ($TBA^+$)-chloroform) for the preconcentration of chromium. The phase separation phenomenon occurred by an ion-pair formation of TBA and perchlorate ion. Then sedimented phase was separated using a $100\;{\mu}L$ micro-syringe and diluted to 1.0 mL with ethanol. The sample was introduced into the flame by conventional aspiration. After the optimization of complexation and extraction conditions such as pH = 9.5, [ligand] = $1.0{\times}10^{-4}\;M$, [$TBA^+$] = $2.0{\times}10^{-2}\;M$, [$CHCl_3$] = $100.0\;{\mu}L$ and [$ClO_4$] = $2.0{\times}10{-2}\;M$, a preconcentration factor (Va/Vs) of 100 was obtained for only 10 mL of the sample. The relative standard deviation was 2.8% (n = 10). The limit of detection was sufficiently low and lie at ppb level. The proposed method was applied for the extraction and determination of chromium in natural water samples with satisfactory results.

The sorption of UO$_{2}$$^{2+}$ onto goethite and kaolinite under various experimental conditions was successfully interpreted using surface complexation modeling (SCM). The SCM approach used in this work is the triple-layer model (TLM) in which weakly bonded ions are modeled as outer-sphere (ion-pair) complexes and strongly bonded ions as inner-sphere (surface coordination) complexes. The change of ionic strength did not affect the U(VI) sorption onto goethite, thus the formation of inner-sphere surface complexes, (FeO)$_2$UO$_2$ and (FeO)$_2$(UO$_2$)$_3$OH$_{5}$ was assumed to simulate the effects of ionic strength and goethite concentration. On the other hand, the U(VI) sorption onto kaolinite showed ionic strength dependence, thus the formation of AlO-UO$_{2}$$^{2+}$(outer-sphere complex) and SiO(UO$_2$)$_3$OH$_{5}$ (inner-sphere complex) was assumed to simulate the experimental data. In the presence of carbonates, the sorption of U(VI) onto kaolinite decreased in the weakly alkaline pH range. This was well simulated assuming the formation of a outer-sphere surface complex, A1OH$^{2+}$- (UO$_2$)$_2$CO$_3$OH$_3$. Since SCM approach uses thermodynamic data such as surface complexation constants, it is more predictive than empirical modeling approach in which conditional values such as partition coefficient are used. used.

The structure of a 2D grid-like copper(II) complex [Cu$(NCO)_2$(pyz)](pyz=pyrazine) (1) consists of 1D chains of Cu-pyz units connected by double end-on (EO) cyanato bridges. Each Cu(II) ion has a distorted octahedral coordination, completed by the four EO cyanato and two pyrazine ligands. Magnetic interactions through EO cyanato and pyrazine bridges in 1 are discussed on the basis of DFT broken-symmetry calculations at the B3LYP level. For model dicopper(II) complexes I (bridged by cyanato) and II (bridged by pyrazine), electronic structure calculations reproduce very well the experimental couplings for the S = 1/2 ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange-coupled 2D system: the calculated exchange parameters J are +1.25 $cm^{-1}$ and -3.07 $cm^{-1}$ for I and II, respectively. The $\sigma$ orbital interactions between the Cu $x^2-y^2$ magnetic orbitals and the nitrogen lone-pair orbitals of pyrazine are analyzed from the viewpoint of through-bond interaction. The energy splitting of 0.106 eV between two SOMOs indicates that the superexchange interaction should be antiferromagnetic in II. On the other hand, there are no bridging orbitals that efficiently connect the two copper(II) magnetic orbitals in I because the HOMOs of the basal-apical NCO bridge do not play a role in the formation of overlap interaction pathway. The energy separation in the pair of SOMOs of I is calculated to be very small (0.054 eV). This result is consistent with the occurrence of weakly ferromagnetic properties in I.

Perovskite type oxides of $SrTiO_3,SrZrO_3,and\;SrTi_{1-x}Zr_xO_3$ have been systematically synthesized at $1250^{\circ}C$and $1550^{\circ}C$ with specimens containing additions of up to x=0.9 of zirconium by solid state reactions and characterized by X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the compound $SrTi_{1-x}Zr_xO_3$ has cubic structure. The lattice paramters of $SrTi_{1-x}Zr_xO_3$ solid solutions obey the Vegard's law and fairly large increase in volume can acompany the formation of this solution with increasing Zr content(X). Assuming the lattice constants of perovskite type compounds $A(B_{1-x}B'_x)O_3$where $B_{1-x}B'_x$ is $Ti_{1-x}Zr_x$, to be a linear function of the ionic radii of B and B' ions, the disordered ion pair of $Ti^{4+}$and $Zr^{4+}$ was verified from the lattice constants of a series compounds varying x=0,0.05, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 0.9, and 1.0 with known isovalent pairs.

폐수 중의 6가크롬을 음이온 교환체인 aliquat-336(tri-caprylmethyl ammonium chloride)으로 이온쌍을 형성시켜 유기용매인 p-xylene으로 추출하여 원자흡수분광도법으로 정량하는 방법에 대하여 조사 검토하였다. Toluene을 용매로 사용하여 유기물을 제거한 폐수 100ml를 취하여 염산으로 pH 0.5 되게 산성화시킨 다음 aliquat-336을 0.01M되게 녹인 p-xylene 20ml로 6가크롬을 추출하였다. 표준물첨가법에 의해 air-acetylene 불꽃에서 용매중에 추출된 6가크롬을 정량하였다. Al(III), Fe(III), Cr(III)이온들은 6가크롬의 추출 및 흡광도 측정에 방해 하지 않았으며, Fe(III)이온이 6가크롬을 3가크롬으로 환원시키기 때문이다. 또한 유기물이 존재하면 6가크롬의 흡광도를 감소시키므로 이런 방해유기물을 toluene으로 추출 제거하였다. 최적 조건으로 분석한 결과는 96%이상의 회수율을 보여 주었고 이는 미량 분석에서 정확한 방법이라 할 수 있고, 상대평균편차가 3.95%로서 재현성도 비교적 좋았다.

Inorganic salts have negative or positive effects on the rates of many chemical reactions and also the rates of acidic and alkaline hydrolysis of carboxylic esters. The direction of salt effects on the hydrolysis of ester depends on the charge of esters. It is expected that the rate of the alkaline hydrolysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalte)(PET), polymeric solid carboxytic polyester with carboxyl end group at the polymer end, is also influenced by inorganic salts. In the present work, to clarify the effect of divalent cations on the alkaline hydrolysis of PET, many salts with divalent cations like $MgCl_{2},CaCl_{2},SrCl_{2},BaCl_{2},$ were added to the aqueous alkaline solutions. Then PET was hydrolyzed with aqueous NaOH solution having many salts under various conditions. Some conclusions obtained from the experimental results were summarized as follows. Many salts with various divalent cations increased or decreased the reaction rate of alkaline hydrolysis of PET depending on their electrophilicity, hydration property, ability of ion pair formation, solubility, and the degree of interactions between divalent cations and anions, etc. The hydrolysis was interrupted in the order of $Ca^{+2} and was generally accelerated in the order of $Ba^{+2}. It was inferred from the increase in ΔS$^*$and the decrease in the ΔG$^*$that the divalent cations $Sr^{+2}$ and $Ba^{+2}$attracted by PET increased the collision frequency between carbonyl carbon and $OH^{-}$ion and then accelerated the reaction rate. $Mg^{+2}$and $Ca^{+2}$decreased the reaction rate because of their strong interaction with $OH^{-}$.

탄산화 공정을 위한 Ca 추출원으로 시멘트 산업부산물을 사용하였다. ICP와 XRD 분석을 통하여 시멘트 산업부산물은 대부분 CaO와 KCl로 구성되어 있음을 확인하였다. 최적화된 추출용제의 종류 및 농도는 1.5 M of hydrochloric acid이며 최적의 고액비는 0.1 g/mL이었다. 추출 성능 실험 결과를 통해 양이온의 추출효율은 이온 결합 형태 및 용해도에 의존함으로 판단되었다. 또한 추출 공정 후, 첨가물의 종류 및 주입 순서에 따라 선택적으로 양이온이 분리될 수 있음을 확인하였다. pH를 9.5, 13으로 조절하기 위하여 NaOH를 주입하였을 때 불순물과 $Ca(OH)_2$가 침전되었으며, $C_2H_5OH$를 주입한 경우 KCl 형태로 분리된 K가 침전되었다.

요오드산 이온의 황이온의 산화에 의해 화학양론적으로 형성되는 요오드이온과 methylene green과의 이온쌍을 1,2-dichloroethane으로 추출하여 656nm에서 분광광도법에 의해 황이온의 정량법을 확립하였다. 시료기질로부터 분리되어지는 황화수소는 pH 3.5 초산 완충용액과 요오드산 이온이 포함된 용액에 도입되어 완전히 전환되었다. 황이온의 정량범위는 $3{\times}10^{-7}{\sim}1.2{\times}10^{-5}M$ ($0.0096{\sim}0.384{\mu}g/ml$) 였으며, 검출한계는 $0.0032{\mu}g/ml$였고, 몰흡광계수는 $6.7{\times}10^4L\;mole^{-1}\;cm^{-1}$였다. 본 정량법을 하천수 중에 응용하였을 때 $5{\times}10^{-6}M$ 농도에서 상대표준편차는 1.59%로 미량에서 공존이온의 영향을 거의 받지 않고 재현성 있는 결과를 나타내므로 실시료 중에 효과적으로 응용할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 한 가지 염으로 포화된 수용액에 다른 염을 녹이면 얼마나 녹을 것인가에 대한 초-중등 학생들과 교사들의 이해 정도가 낮은 이유를 알아보기 위하여 중등학교 교과서와 대학교 교재의 서술 내용을 조사하였다. 그 결과 중등학교 교과서와 대학교 일반화학 교재에서는 다른 염의 존재 여부와 상관없이 용해도는 일정함을 전제로 서술하고 있었으며, 대학교 물리화학 교재에서는 다른 염의 존재에 의해 용해도가 달라짐을 직접 언급하거나 이를 알 수 있는 내용이 서술되어 있었다. 그러나 물리화학을 이수한 사범대학 4학년 학생들을 대상으로 조사해본 결과 학생들의 대부분이 이러한 용해도 변화에 대한 설명을 하지 못하였다. 따라서 교사나 예비 교사들의 의문을 해소하기 위해 이온쌍 형성과 이온 세기 변화에 따른 용해도의 변화를 설명하고, 실제 실험 결과도 하나 제시하였다. 하지만 중등학교에서는 활동도 개념의 도입이 어려우므로 두 가지 염이 동시에 용해될 때의 용해도를 어떻게 가르칠지에 대한 논의가 필요한 것으로 생각된다.
