Raman spectroscopy is one of the most widely used tools in the field of graphene and two-dimensional (2D) materials. It is used not only to characterize structural properties such as the number of layers, defect densities, strain, etc., but also to probe the electronic band structure and other electrical properties. As the field of 2D materials expanded beyond graphene to include new classes of layered materials including transition metal dichalcogenides such as $MoS_2$, new physical phenomena such as anomalous resonance behaviors are observed. In this review, recent results from Raman spectroscopic studies on 2D materials are summarized.

Adsorption of alkali metals on a silicon surface has attracted much attention due to its importance in metal-semiconductor interface technology, In particular, the bonding nature of alkali metal to silicon substrate has been a focus of fundamental research efforts. We examined the adsorbed layer of Cs on a Si(111)-(7$\times$) surface by reactive ion scattering (RIS) of hyperthermal Cs+ beams. RIS from a Cs-adsorbed surface gives rise to Cs, representing pickup of surface Cs by Cs projectile. The Cs intensity is proportional to surface coverage of Cs at a high substrate temperature (473 K), while it varies anomalously with Cs coverage at low temperatures (130-170 K). This observation indicates that RIS selectively detects metallic Cs on surface, but discriminates ionic Cs. Transition from ionic to metallic Cs adlayer is driven by thermal diffusion of Cs and their clustering process.

A calculation method of the dipole moments for square planar and tetrahedral complexes by the valence bond method has been developed and an example calculation was carried out choosing the square planar and tetrahedral $[M(Ⅱ)N_2Se_2]$ type complexes. The calculated values of the dipole moments by the valence bond method are higher than those of the approximate orbital method. We found that we may predict the geometric structure of the transition metal complexes comparing the calculated values of the dipole moments with the experimental values. A new method for definition of C' parameter has also developed on the basis of extended Huckel theory.

Metallocenes, whether using a cocatalyst or not, act as catalysts in ethylene polymerization. The positive charge on the transition metal of a metallocene might have an important role in polymerization as an active site in our model approach. Using semiempirical calculations in the absence of cocatalyst, we show one of the possibilities that the positive charge on a metallocene might be more easily transferred through the Cp ring of a ligand to the ethylene than to transfer directly from the transition metal to the ethylene. In these calculations, the charge on titanium in an eight C2H4 system is transferred and a polymer chain is produced. This reaction takes place only when ethylenes are arranged in a particular direction with respect to the ring, but does not take place for ethylenes near Ti or Cl atoms. The same mechanism is shown for a metallocene ligand which is sterically hindered or where the Cp ring is replaced by fluorenyl. These results suggest an entirely new polymerization mechanism in the absence of a cocatalyst in which the Cp ring is the active site.

This article deals with the synthesis and characterization of poly [N-(propargyloxy)phthalimide][poly (POPI)]. The polymerization of POPI was carried out by various transition metal catalysts. $MoCl_5$-based catalysts were found to be more effective than $WCl_6$-based catalysts. However, the polymer yield was relatively low (maximum 35%). The polymerization of POPI by $PdCl_2$ gave poly (POPI) in fair yields in DMF and pyridine. The resulting poly (POPI)s were mostly insoluble in organic solvents. The infrared spectrum of poly (POPI) showed no peak at 2135 $cm^{-1}$ due to acetylenic $C{\equiv}C$ stretching frequency. Instead, the carbon-carbon double bond stretching frequency was observed at 1600-1650 $cm^{-1}$. The TGA thermogram showed that the present poly (POPI) is thermally stable up to $160^{\circ}C.$.

Catalytic effects of transition metal (Co2+, Ni2+) complexes of N,N-bis(salicylaldehyde)-o-phenylenediimine (SOPD), N,N-bis(salicylaldehyde)-m-phenylenediimine (SMPD), and N,N-bis(salicylaldehyde)-p-phenylenediimine (SPPD), on the reduction of thionyl chloride at glassy carbon electrode, are evaluated by determining the kinetic parameters with cyclic voltammetric technique. The charge transfer process for the reduction of thionyl chloride is strongly affected by the concentration of the catalysts. Some quadridentate Schiff base-M(Ⅱ) complexes show sizable catalytic activities for the reduction of thionyl chloride. Catalytic effects of [M(Ⅱ)(SOPD)] complexes are slightly larger compared to [M(Ⅱ)2(SMPD)2] and [M(Ⅱ)2(SPPD)2] complexes. On those electrodes deposited with the catalysts, the observed exchange rate constants (ko) are in the range of 0.89-2.28 × 10-7 cm/s, while it is 1.24 × 10-7 cm/s on the bare glassy carbon electrode.

Recent advancements in electronic devices and wireless communication technologies, particularly the rise of 5G, have raised concerns about the escalating electromagnetic pollution and its potential adverse impacts on human health and electronics. As a result, the demand for effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials has grown significantly. Traditional materials face limitations in providing optimal solutions owing to inadequacy and low performance due to small thickness. MXene-based composite materials have emerged as promising candidates in this context owing to their exceptional electrical properties, high conductivity, and superior EMI shielding efficiency across a broad frequency range. This review examines the recent developments and advantages of MXene-based composite materials in EMI shielding applications, emphasizing their potential to address the challenges posed by electromagnetic pollution and to foster advancements in modern electronics systems and vital technologies.

Oxygen evolution reaction is a critical bottleneck for the development of efficient electrochemical hydrogen production because of its sluggish reaction. Among various catalysts, transition metal-based layered double hydroxide has drawn significant attention due to their excellent catalytic properties and cost-effectiveness. This paper begins with basic crystal structures, and then conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism of layered double hydroxide. Strategies for enhancing catalytic properties based on adsorbate evolution mechanism and lattice oxygen mechanism that could surpass theoretical limit of adsorbate evolution mechanism are discussed. This paper ends with a brief discussion on the challenges and future directions of layered double hydroxide-based oxygen evolution reaction catalysts.

A lab-made chemiluminescence system with air pump was developed for monitoring of some metal levels in rain. The air pump enabled injection of 17.7 $\mu$g samples into a glass cell filled with luminol-$H_2O_2$ reagent of typically 300 $\mu$L for chemiluminescence measurement. The monitored trend of total metal ions in the rain collected in our campus was compared with analytical results of each metal ion from GFAAS. The system was also demonstrated to determine $Cr^{6+}$ by reduction to $Cr^{3+}$ using $SnCl_2$. The limit of detection for $Cr^{6+}$ obtained by 4 measurements was 85.0 pg $mL^{-1}$ with a relative standard deviation of 3.4%. Although this system doesn’t have selectivity due to the characteristics of chemiluminescence, application of it to environmental monitoring as a sensor for some transition metal ions was demonstrated.

We show a set-up of poly (4,4'-aminotriphenylene hexafluoroisopropylidenediphthalimide) (6F-TPA PI)/Al sample in which holes are injected by photoelectron emission process instead of direct charge carrier injection via metal electrode. In this process, an irreversible electrical phase transition of 6F-TPA PI is found in contrast to the Al/6F-TPA PI/Al structure, leading to a write-once-readmany behavior. The photoelectron spectroscopy results measured before and after the switching process revealed that the irreversible electrical phase transition of 6F-TPA PI is attributed to the chemical modification of the carbonyl group in phthalimide moiety.
