The chemical compositions and stability constants, thermodynamic parameters for the neodymium(Ⅲ) complexes of substituted benzo-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane(B15C5) have been determined by spectrophotometry and conductometry in methanol solution at various temperatures. As substituents, CH3, Br, CHO, NO2, and 3,4-(NO2)2 were used. In methanol solution the ratios of neodymium(Ⅲ) to the ligands in the complexes are 1 : 1. The stability constants were increased in order of B15C5-3,4-(NO2)2 < B15C5-NO2 < B15C5-CHO < B15C5-Br < B15C5 < B15C5-CH3. This observation can be explained in terms of the substituent effect. The order of stability constants was dimethylsulfoxide < acetone < acetonitrile in solution and the magnitudes were found to be inversely proportional to the solvents donicities. These results could be understood in terms of solvent basicity, ligand basicity, solvation of the cation, and entropy changes of complex formation.

The Ethylene polymerization behavior of a series of polymethylene bridged dinuclear CGC $[Zr({\eta}^{5}:{\eta}^{1}-C_{9}H_{5}SiMe_{2}NCMe_{3})Me_{2}]_{2}[(CH_{2})_{n}]\;[_{n}=6(1),\;9(2),\;12(3)]$ in the cocatalytic activation with $Ph_{3}C^{+}B^{-}(C_{6}F_{5})_{4}\;(B_{1})\;or\;Ph_{3}C^{+}(C_{6}F_{5})_{3}B^{-}C_{6}F_{4}B^{-}(C_{6}F_{5})_{3}Ph_{3}C^{+}\;(B_{2})\;or\;B(C_{6}F_{5})_{3}\;(B_{3})$ were investigated to study the nuclearity effects as well as the counteranion effects. The ethylene polymerization and ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization were conducted at $30^{\circ}C$ It was found that both in ethylene polymerization and ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization, activities increased in the order of 1 < 2 < 3, which indicates the presence of longer bridge between two active sites contributes more efficiently to facilitate the polymerization activity.

We have prepared the dinuclear half-sandwich CGC(constrained geometry catalyst) with polymethylene bridge $[Zr(({\eta}^5\;:\;{\eta}^1-C_9H_5SiMe_2NCMe_3)Me_2)_2\;[(CH_2)_n]$ [n=6(4), 9(5), 12(6)] by treating 2 equivalents of MeLi with the corresponding dichlorides compounds. To study the catalytic behavior of the dinuclear catalysts we conducted copolymerization of ethylene and 1-hexene in the presence of three kinds of boron cocatalysts, $Ph_3C^+[B(C_6F_5)_4]^-\;(B_1),\;B(C_6F_5)_3\;(B_3)$, and $Ph_3C^+[(C_6F_5)_3B-C_6F_4-B(C_6F_5)_3]^{2-}\;(B_2)$. It turned out that all active species formed by the combination of three dinuclear CGCs with three cocatalyst were very efficient catalysts for the polymerization of olefins. The activities increase as the bridge length of the dinuclear CGCs increases. At the same time the dinuclear cocatalyst exhibited the lowest activity among three cocatalysts. The prime observation is that the dinuclear cocatalyst gave rise to the formation of the copolymers with the least branches on the polyethylene backbone.

Phages of Lactobaciilus casei (PLC) isolated from plant drainage were classified and characterized. The results are as follows : 1. On the basis of host range pattern, phages could be divided into 2 groups (PLC-B and PLC-C). PLC-B group phages could be further divided into 5 sub-groups $(B_1, \;B_2, \;B_3, \;B_4, \;and\;B_5)$. Although PLC-C group phages had the same host range, they could be also divided into 2 sub-groups $(C_1\;and\;C_2)$ by morphlogical type. 2. It was $B_3$ group phages that represented a major proportion (44.4%) of phages tested. However, $B_1$ group phages were shown to have the widest host range. 3. Electron micrographs revealed that the phages fell into three different morphological types. $(B_1, \;B_2, \;and\;B_3)$ group phages hd a hexagonal head (52nm in diameter) and a sheathless noncontractile (245 nm in length). $B_4\;and\;C_2$ group phages had a hexagonal head (56 nm) and a short flexible tail (169nm) having no sheath. $B_5\;and\;C_1$ group phages were shown to have a hexagonal head (81 nm) and a contractile tail (140 nm) having a sheath, a base plate and tail fibers. 4. The inactivation of the phages by antisera indicated that serological relationships correlated completely with morphological types. 5. $B_1, \;C_1\;and\;C_2$ group phages produced a large (1, 2 mm in diameter) plaque with a clear ring. The morphology of plaques of $B_3\;and\;B_5$ group phages was the same as those produced by the above, but the average plaque sizes for $B_3\;and\;B_5$ were 0.8 mm abd 0.5 mm, respectively. $B_2\;and\;B_4$ group phages produced a small (0.5 mm) turbid plaque with an irregular edge. 6. The latent period and the average burst size of $B_1\;and\;B_3$ group phages were 90 min and 100, respectively. These phages reuqired calcium ions for their miltiplication. 7. $B_3$ group phages could not be absrobed to R-variant $KC_1$. 8. The order of resistance of phages to heat was $B_2\;>\;B_1, B_4\;and\;B_5\;>\;B_3\;and\;C_2, \;B_5$ group phages were more stable than $B_3$ in various pH values. $C_2$ group phages were more sensitive to UV irradiation than $B_1\;and\;B_3$ group phages. 9. Strains YIT9018 and IAM 1043 were induced by mitomycin C treatment. Phage particles detected in the lysates had a hexagonal head (38 and 49 nm, respectively), but no tail. Any sensitive indicator strain could not be isolated in spite of repaeated trials.

The lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27, LDH) isozymes in tissues from Channa argus were purified and characterized by biochemical, immunochemical and kinetic methods. The activity of LDH in skeletal muscle was the highest at 380.4 units and those in heart, eye and brain tissues were 13.4, 3,5 and 5.4 units, respectively. Citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7, CS) activity in heart tissue was the highest at 20.7 units. LDH/CS in skeletal muscle, heart, eye and brain tissues were 172.9, 0.6, 0.32 and 0.47. Protein concentration in skeletal muscle tissue was 14.7 mg/g and specific activities of LDH in skeletal muscle, heart, eye and brain tissues were 25.88, 0.79, 0.31 and 1.38 units/mg, respectively. Therefore, skeletal muscle tissue was anaerobic and heart tissue was aerobic. The LDH isozymes in tissues were identified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunoprecipitation and Western blot with antiserum against $A_4$, $B_4$, and eye-specific $C_4$. LDH $A_4$, $A_3B$, $A_2B_2$. $AB_3$ and $B_4$ isozymes were detected in every tissue, $C_4$, $AC_3$, $A_2C_2$ and $A_3C$ were detected in eye tissue, and $A_3C$ was found in brain tissue. LDH $A_4$, $A_3B$, $A_2B_2$, $AB_3$, $B_4$, eye-specific $C_4$ isozymes were purified by affinity chromatography and Preparative PAGE Cells. The LDH $A_4$ isozyme was purified in the fraction from elution with $NAD^+$ containing buffer of affinity chromatography. Eye-specific $C_4$ isozyme was eluted right after $A_4$, after which $B_4$ isozyme was eluted with plain buffer. As a result, one part of molecular structures in $A_4$, $B_4$ and eye-specific $C_4$ were similar, but were different from each other in $B_4$ and $C_4$. Therefore the subunit A may be conservative in evolution, and the evolution of subunit B seems to be faster than that of subunit A. The activity of LDH $A_4$, $A_2B_2$, $B_4$, and eye-specific $C_4$ isozymes remained at 39.98, 21.28, 19.67 and 16.87% as a result of the inhibition by 10 mM of pyruvate, so the degree of inhibition was very high. The $Km^{PYR}$ values were 0.17, 0.27 and 0.133 mM in $A_4$, $B_4$ and eye-specific $C_4$ isozymes, respectively. The optimum pH of LDH $A_4$, $B_4$, eye-specific $C_4$, $A_2B_2$, $A_3B$, and $AB_3$ were pH 6.5, pH 8.5, pH 5.5, pH 6.0-6.5, pH 5.0 and pH 7.5. The $A_4$ and heterotetramer isozymes stabilized a broad range of pH. Especially, LDH activities in skeletal muscle tissue were high, resulting in a high degree of muscle activity.LDH metabolism in eye tissue seems to be converted faster from pyruvate to lactate by eye-specific $C_4$ isozyme as eye-specific $C_4$ have the highest affinity for pyruvate, and right after the conversion, oxidation of lactate was induced by $A_4$ isozyme. It was found that expression of Ldh-C, affinity to substrate and reaction time of $C_4$ isozyme were different according to the ecological environmental and feeding capturing patterns.

Acryloylmethylbenzo-15-crown-5 was prepared from the reaction of 4'-hydroxymethylbenzo-15-crown-5 with acryloyl chloride. And, poly(acryloylmethylbenzo-15-crown-5) [poly(AMB15C5)] was synthesized by radical polymerization using AIBN as initiator in benzene. Coated wire lead(II) ion-selective electrodes ($Pb^{2+}$-CWISEs) using either poly(AMB15C5) or B15C5 as neutral carrier were prepared, respectively. $Pb^{2+}$-CWISEs gave linear responses with slopes of 28$\pm$ 1mV per decade within the concentration range of $10^{-5} M{\sim}10^{-1}$ M, respectively. Also, the detection limits were $10^{-6}$ M and response times were either 3 or 5 min. for B15C5 and poly(AMB15C5), respectively. $Pb^{2+}$-CWISE base on B15C5 was rather unstable than poly(AMB15C5)'s due to solubility of the B15C5 in water. The selectivity coefficients of a variety of interfering ions such as $Mg^{2+},\; Ca^{2+},\; Co^{2+},\; Ni^{2+},\; Cu^{2+},\; Zn^{2+}$ and $Cd^{2+}$ were small ($10^{-4}{\sim}10^{-5}$), while those of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ were large (0.1∼0.01). In addition, the electrode responses depended upon the pH of test solution and the composition of the membrane. In the range pH 3∼6 of test solution, potentials of Pb2+-CWISEs were hardly changed. The optimal contents of B15C5 and poly(AMB15C5) were 7.7 wt% and 13.1 wt%, respectively.

Good yield synthetic routes for the production of new B-alkyl-dithiaborane clusters are reported. The syntheses of the B-alkyl-dithiaboranes are based on the use of Fischer-type carbene reagents to activate the B-H bonds of dithiaborane for alkyl-addition reactions and are the first examples of transition-mediated reactions of dithiaborane to be reported. Thus, reactions employing arachno-$S_2B_7H_8$- and $(CO)_5M{C(R_1)R_2}$ (M = Cr, W; $R_1 = CH_3,\;C_6H_5;\; R_2 = OCH_3,\;SC_6H_5)$ were found to yield the intermidiate anions I, $[(CO)_5M{C(R_1)R_2S_2B_7H_8}]^-$, which upon protonation gave the corresponding neutral, air-sensitive cluster arachno-4-$RCH_2-6,8-S_2B_7H_8(R=CH_3,\;IIa;\;C_6H_5,\;IIb)$ range from 30 to 35% yield. Complexes IIa and IIb are isoelectronic with arachno-6,8-$S_2B_7H_9$ and, on the basis of the spectroscopic data, are proposed to adopt a similar arachno cage geometry in which an $RCH_2$ units are substituted to 4 position boron atom of the arachno-6,8-$S_2B_7H_9$.

Olefinic and cyclopropyl group substituted arenes (C6H5Y) react with [Cp*Ir(CH3COCH3)3]A2 (A=ClO4-, OTf-) to give η6-arene complexes, [Cp*Ir(η6-C6H5Y)]2+ (1a: Y=-CH=CH2 (a),-CH=CHCH3 (b),-C(CH3)=CH2 (c),-CH-CH2-CH2 (d)). Complex 1b-1d are readily converted into η3-allyl complexes, [Cp*(CH3CN)Ir(η3-CH(C6H5)CHCH2)]+ (2a) and [Cp*(CH3CN)Ir(η3-CH2(C6H5)CH2)]+ (2b), in the presence of Na2CO3 in CH3CN. The η6-styrene complex, 1a reacts with NaBH4 to give η5-cyclohexadienyl complex, [Cp*Ir(η5-C6H6-CH=CH2)]+ (3), while with H2 it gives η6-ethylbenzene complex [Cp*Ir(η6-C6H5CH2CH3)]2+ (4). Complex 1a and 1c react with HCl to give [Cp*Ir(η6-C6H5CH2CH2Cl)]2+ (5a) and [Cp*Ir(η6-C6H5CH(CH3)CH2Cl]2+ (5b), respectively.
