Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) are widely distributed in the environment and are often implicated as potential carcinogens. The chromatographic methods of detection and quantitative determination of PAHs in environmental samples are costly, time consuming, and do not account for all kinds of PAHs. This work describes a quantitative spectroscopic method for the analysis of mixtures of eight PAHs using multivariate calibration models for Fourier transform near infrared(FT-NIR) spectral data. The NIR spectra of mixtures of PAHs (anthracene, pyrene, 1,2-benzanthracene, perylene, chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene, 1-methylanthracene and benzo(ghi)perylene) were measured in the wavelength range from 1100 nm to 2500 nm. The spectral data were processed using a partial least squares regression. We have studied the spectral characteristics of NIR spectra of mixtures of PAHs. It was possible to determine each PAM used in this study at the environmental level(mg L-1) in the laboratory samples. Further development may lead to the rapid determination of more PAHs in typical environmental samples.

Perylene-based pyrrolopyrone derivative (PPD) was synthesized via condensation reaction with perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride and 1,2-phenylenediarnine as n-type channel material. The structure of PPD was characterized by spectroscopic methods such FT-IR and $^1H$-NMR. PPD exhibited high thermal stability ($T_{d5wt%}: 560^{\circ}C$) and was found to be soluble only in protonic solvents with high acidity such as methane sulfonic acid and trifluoroacetic acid. The PPD solution showed maximum absorption and emission at 601 and 628 nm, respectively. Thin film transistors were fabricated by vacuum deposition and solution casting method. The electron mobilities of the devices were achieved as high as $0.17{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/Vs$ for vacuum deposited device and $0.4{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/Vs$ for spin coated device, respectively.

Concentrations of PAHs [benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene] in vegetable oils and fats available in Korean market were estimated. Involved methodology were liquid-liquid partition, purification on Sep-Pak Florisil Cartridges, and high performance liquid chromatography using fluorescence detector. Overall recoveries for eight PAHs spiked into vegetable oils and fats ranged from 68.2 to 101.5%, averaging 85.4%. Mean levels of benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, and indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene in vegetable oils and fats were 0.53, 0.82, 0.50, 0.18, 0.35, 0.16, 0.31, and $0.44{\mu}g/kg$, respectively.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are carcinogenic and persistent will be restricted in consumer products from December 27, 2015 by EU REACH regulation. Pretreatment using Soxhlet extraction and quantitative analysis by GC-MS were studied to develop the method for analyzing 18 PAHs in consumer products as well as to detect the amounts and the kinds of PAHs in consumer products such as grips of a bag and a hammer, a cable and a plastic sandal. Linearity and precisions were evaluated by analyses of the standard PAH solutions ranging from 0.3125 mg/L to 5.00 mg of each of 18 PAHs. Linearity of resulting standard curves for all 18 PAHs were obtained with $R^2$ above 0.999. Precisions of the retention times and the peak areas were found to be 0.00%~0.05% and 1.16%~3.69% of relative standard deviations, respectively. The recoveries for spiked samples were all around 95%~105% after Soxhlet extration using three different solvents such as dichloromethane, hexane and toluene. The limits of quantitation for 18 PAHs in solutions and polymer samples by GC-MS were evaluated to be 0.327 mg/L (Benzo[ghi]perylene)~0.464 mg/L (Acenaphthylene) and 1.635 mg/kg (Benzo[ghi]perylene)~2.32 mg/kg (Acenaphthylene) based upon dilution factor of 5, respectively. Under the developed analytical method, only trace amounts of phenanthrene were detected in three samples while 15 kinds of PAHs including phenanthrene were detected in a grip of hammer with concentrations of maximum 83.4 mg/kg of Phenanthrene and minimum 8.5 mg/kg of Acenaphthylene. Further studies are needed to decrease the quantitation limit and to check the feasibility of decreasing Soxhlet time as well as to demonstrate cases that the clean up is required.

Self-assembly of the molecular system of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic-3,4,9,10-dianhydride (PTCDA) is of such potential importance for organic semiconductor devices that PTCDA molecule on a variety of substrates has been extensively studied. Therefore we studied the density of states (DOS), the charge densities, and intermolacular bond lengths for PTCDA, and investigated PTCDA absorptioni sites on Si(111)In-$8{\times}8$ at room temperature using the density functional theory calculations.
