The use of ZnO and stearic acid is very well known in sulfenamide accelerated sulfur vulcanization of diene elastomers. Zn-ion coated nano filler has been developed and tested, in styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) as sulfur vulcanizing activator cum reinforcing filler. In this study Zinc oxide has been replaced by the Zn-ion coated nano silica filler with an aim to study the dual role of this nanofiller in SBR. The presence of Zn-ion on the nano silica filler surface activates the sulfur vulcanization by involving Zn++ in to the sulfurating complex formed with thiazole from sulfenamide. The increase of Zn-ion, on the nanofiller, decrease the scorch safety of the elastomer compound but increase the tensile strength, state of cure and tear strength and attain maximum at its 10% level. The presence of stearic acid increases the rate of vulcanization. Replacement of stearic acid with mono-stearate, however, increases the vulcanization rate but decrease the ultimate state of cure. A mechanistic scheme involving dual function of this nanofiller has been suggested.

The new ternary phase $UP_2S_6$ has been prepared and structurally characterized. The compound is isostructural with $ZrP_2S_6$ and $ThP_2S_6$ but is different from $TiP_2S_6$. The structure has been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. $UP_2S_6$ crystallizes in the the tetragonal system $({C^2}_{4h}-P4_2/m,\;a=6.797(7)\;{\AA},\;c=9.738(12)\;{\AA})$ with two formula units in the unit cell. The structure can be described in terms of $U^{4+}$ and ${P_2S_6}^{4-}$ ions. This hexathiohypodiphosphate anion $({P_2S_6}^{4-})$ has ideally staggered conformation. The $U^{4+}$ cation is coordinated by 8 sulfur atoms in a slightly distorted dodecahedral geometry (42m). The distribution of sulfur atoms is very well optimized for this geometry.

In this study, we present a more electrochemically enhanced electrode using activated carbon (AC)-sulfur (S) composite materials, which have high current density. The morphological and micro-structure properties were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Quantity of sulfur was measured by thermogravimetric analysis analysis. The electrochemical behaviors were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. As a trapping carbon structure, AC could provide a porous structure for containing sulfur. We were able to confirm that the AC-S composite electrode had superior electrochemical activity.

In this work, we constructed the sulfur-solidified materials using coal bottom ash from four thermal power stations in Korea and investigated their practical data for the production of industrial construction compounds. To manufacture the sulfur-solidified materials, we used a continuous mixer with the uniaxial screw-type. Also, coal bottom ash was used as a fine aggregate below 1.2 mm because of the operation characteristics for the continuous mixer. When the sulfur-solidified materials were produced with diverse sulfur concentrations (15, 20, 25, 30 wt%), compressive strength properties were analyzed. In addition, when the coal bottom ash was used with a high calcium oxide content, crack was found in the test product and pH of submerged liquid was above 12. These experimental results could be effectively applied to the recycling technology of coal bottom ash.

The podands I-VII, acyclic polyethers, expected high extractability for $Ag^+$ against $Pb^{2+}$ were designed and synthesized with high yields. Using podands I-VII as extractants, the %extraction(%Ex) of $Ag^+$ and $Pb^{2+}$ as picrates were determined in water/chloroform systems. The stability constants(log K) for the complexation of $Ag^+$ with podands I-VII were also determined by potentiometry. %Ex($Ag^+$) were proportional to the numbers of substituted sulfur donor atoms. Podand VI(log K : 7.65) having 3 substituted sulfur and podand VII(log K : 9.15) having 4 substituted sulfur, however, exhibited almost 100% of extractability, respectively. In %Ex($Ag^+/Pb^{2+}$, oxygen-sulfur mixed donor podands(IV-VII) showed the higher values. Otherwise, the values of log K and %Ex($Ag^+$) largely depended on the variation of donor-site of sulfur. From the results of NMR experiments, it seems that it is due to the ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking interaction between the aromatic end-groups.

Studies have been conducted to explore single electron transfer (SET) induced photocyclization reactions of N-(trimethylsilylmethylthioalkyl)phthalimides (alkyl=ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl, and n-hexyl). Photocyclizations occur in methanol in modest to high yields to produce cyclized products in which phthalimide carbonyl carbon is bonded to the carbon of side chain in place of the trimethylsilyl group. Mechanism for these photocyclizations involving intramolecular SET from sulfur in the ${\alpha}$-silylmethylthioalkyl groups to the singlet excited state phthalimide moieties followed by desilylation of the intermediate ${\alpha}$ -silylmethylthio cation radicals and cyclization by radical coupling is proposed. In contrast, photoreactions of N-(trimethylsilylmethylthioalkyl)phthalimides in acetone follow different reaction routes to produce another cyclized products in which carbon-carbon bond formation takes place between the phthalimide carbonyl carbon and the carbon ${\alpha}$ to silicon and sulfur atoms via triplet carbonyl hydrogen abstraction pathway. The normal singlet SET pathway dominates this triplet process for photoreactions of these substances in methanol while the triplet process dominates the singlet SET pathway for those in acetone. The efficient and regioselective cyclization reactions observed for photolyses in methanol represent synthetically useful processes for construction of medium and large ring heterocyclic compounds.

The preferred conformation of benzenesulfenyl chloride was determined by EHMO calculation. It was found that the stability was dictated by the n-${\pi}$ conjugation of S atom with the benzene ring. The ethanolysis reaction of benzenesulfenyl chlorides has been studied. The rate constants obtained have been discussed in terms of substituent effects and d-orbital participation of sulfur atom. From a non-linear Hammett plot, bipyramid type of intermediate has been suggested.

Normal modes of crystalline orthorhombic sulfur belonging to the space group $D_{2h}$-Fddd, have been evaluated by taking the lowest temperature phase in the solid. Normal modes are obtained by the valence force field with modified force constants and a quantitative description of the mode is adjusted by the potential energy distribution. Since the full crystal system of orthorhombic sulfur is so large, we intended to calculate the normal modes simply by constructing the imaginary box made by the infinite mass boundary. And the Raman experiment is done by using the more powerful Ar-Kr gas laser with lowering the temperature to ${\sim}10^{\circ}K$.
