Abstract:
A new method to synthesize heterocycle-fused troponoid compounds by oxidizing azocoupling products of 3-isopropenyltropolone and 3-cinnamoyItropolone with bromine in the presence of pyridine was reported for the first time. Reaction of azo-couping products of 3-isopropenyl tropolone la~f and 3-cinnamoyltropoIone 3a-d with excess bromine afforded heterocycle-fused troponoid compounds 2a-f, 4a-d, respectively.

Abstract:
The reduction of disulfides by samarium diiodide led to sa arium thiolates (ArSSmI2). This new thiolate anion species reacted smoothly with α, β -unsaturated esters (nitriles) to give 1, 4-addition products β -thioesters and β -thionitriles in good yields under mild and neutral condition.

Abstract:
A novel nucleophilic substitution of pyridazines is found, in which phenoxy group is dislodged rather than the halogen atom, on treating 3-haIo-6-phenoxypyridazines with alkoxy anion. The reactivity of substituents on benzene ring and the halogen atom of pyridazines are studied. Reasonable explanation based on the quantum chemical calculations are given.

Abstract:
The reduction of nitrite at Au or carbon electrode in H2SO4 was found to follow a chemical-electrochemical (CE) mechanism with a very thin (4x10-8 cm) preceding reaction zone. It was proposed and experimentally verified that for such kind of electrode processes the total reaction rate could be effectively enhanced by using electrodes with increased true surface area, such as porous electrodes. As a combination of porous electrode and microelectrode, the powder microelectrode shows excellent performance for nitrite detection.

Abstract:
The fluorescence spectra of the poly (N-vinylcarbazole) in solution obtained with chirally organic salts or acid as catalyst or initiator[(-)Sp:(-)-Sparteine, (+)CSA:D- (+)-Camphor-10-sulfonic acid)], respectively, have been investigated. It is found that the two emission peaks at the longer wavelength (λmax,ca, 415nm) and the shorter wavelength (λmax,ca,370nm) are assigned to the sandwich excimer and second excimer (partial overlap) fluorescence, respectively. The sandwich excimer and partially overlapped excimer are attributed to a fully overlapped structure of neighbouring carbazole chromophores in a totally elipsed conformation of the isotactic sequence, and partially overlapped structure of the syndiotactic sequence. The estimated values of I4l5/I370 and isotactic sequence content by using the fluorescence spectra are in the order:(-)Sp+ (+)CSA > (+)CSA > (-)Sp+C104- (no peak at 415nm for AIBN).

Abstract:
The catalytic decomposition of NO over Ag-ZSM-5 catalyst prepared by ion-exchange was investigated. The exchanged silver in the zeolite was reduced and it collected in the course of the reaction to form silver particles of about 20 nm. The catalytic reaction induced a pronounced restructuring of the Ag particles through preferential formation of the (111) facets. These facets were shown to bind a tightly bound oxygen species (0Y). The OY species occupies the active sites for NO adsorption resulting in catalyst deactivation. It could be removed by appropriate reducing agents, such as CO, to recover the active sites at elevated temperatures.

Abstract:
Lead (Ⅱ)-binding properties of rabbit liver thionein 2 (apo-MT2) have been studied. Two kinds of complexes, Pb7-MT and Pb7-MT', are observed upon the binding of Pb2+ to apo-MT at different pH. From their characteristic peaks in UV and CD spectra, it is deduced that Pb2+ in Pb7-MT is coordinated by four sulfhydryl groups in Td microsymmetry, while multiple coordination types including two-coordination maybe present in Pb7-MT'.

Abstract:
The relationship between bond valence and bond covalency in RMn205 (R=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu) has been investigated by a semiempirical method. This method is the generalization of the dielectric description theory of Phillips, Van Vechten, Levine and Tanaka scheme. The results indicate that larger valences usually result in higher bond covalencies, in good agreement with the point that the excess charge in the bonding region is the origin of formation of bond covalency. Other factors, such as oxidation state of elements, only make a small contribution to bond covalency.
