In Chapter 2, Lounasmaa, Hanhinen, and Westersund present an extensive review of the isolation, spectroscopic characterization, and syntheses that have been conducted in the past 30 years on the sarpagine group of alkaloids. Revised concepts regarding the biogenesis of these alkaloids are discussed. 

Other applications involved photon adsorption or emission. An FTIR spectroscopic study of the adsorption of pyrimidine on loughlinite was conducted to characterize the surface interaction <04JMS147>, and new mono-, poly-, and macrocyclic mesoionic pyrimidinium-olates were prepared and their propensity toward photochemical rearrangement to his(P-lactam) derivatives was studied <04710011>. Sequential nucleophilic addition of aryl anions to 2-methylthiopyrimidine 76 followed hy DDQ oxidation gave 4-aryl-2-methylthiopyrimidines, then... 

Characterization of polymers can be conducted in several ways, from the oldest and simplest techniques to the most sophisticated and complete spectroscopic characterization techniques. 

In order to prepare such well-defined photocatalytic systems, it is necessary to clarify at the molecular level the chemical features of the photo-formed charge carriers, the reaction intermediate species, as well as the reaction mechanisms using various spectroscopic techniques. These studies, in turn, will necessitate detailed and comprehensive investigations of the photogenerated active sites and the local structures of the photocatalysts (20-27). We have conducted detailed characterizations of potential photocatalysts using various molecular spectroscopies in order to realize two main objectives (1) A clarification of the dynamics and mechanisms of the photoactive...

Although numerous experiments and spectroscopic characterizations have been conducted on the Phillips catalyst, the precise structure of the active site on the silica surface, reduction of the surface chromate species during the induction period, the formation of the first chromium-carbon bond, and the mechanism for ethylene polymerization still need to be further clarified [11]. In order to achieve more specific information, molecular modeling approaches could provide a useful complement to the experiments and enable us to study these obscure mechanistic problems directly at the atomic and molecular level. In the last decade, very precise mechanistic pictures of the Cr-based polymerization catalysts have been obtained using different theoretical methods, especially through a combination of the experimental findings with theoretical calculations. 

After assessing the issues in the research, we propose several directions for future research. First, it is important to find the correlation between structure/composition of the catalyst and catalytic performance. More careful studies are needed in the future. Second, it is worthwhile to study the nature of active sites and reaction mechanisms on some of new catalysts. This can be done by in situ spectroscopic characterization of working catalysts, by conducting kinetic studies, and by isotopic... 

Finally, [Ru(f -arene)(HL )Cl]Cl (HL = bis(pyrazol-l-yl)acetic acid or bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-l-yl)acetic acid) (Scheme 39) has been synthesized and analytically and spectroscopically characterized, the HL being coordinated in a chelating K -N,Af-bidentate fashion. These derivatives show very high conductance values in water, due to the contribution of H30 produced by deprotonation of the —COOH fragment in HL ligands. [Ru(p-cymene)(K -iV,iV,0-L )]X (X = Bp4 or PFg) (Scheme 39) contains the monoanionic L coordinated in the tripodal fashion. DFT calculations... 

The third experiment was a NIR-based determination of the hardness of coated tablets. Thirty-eight tablets whose hardness ranged from 6 to 12 kp were first analyzed spectroscopically, and then by the destructive reference method. Prediction of hardness with a standard error of 0.6 kp was possible even after removal of the baseline shifting with MSC. This research confirmed the results of hardness studies reported earlier by Eirennen and Lodder [120]. Further research is being conducted to characterize this phenomenon.

Besides synthesis, current basic research on conducting polymers is concentrated on structural analysis. Structural parameters — e.g. regularity and homogeneity of chain structures, but also chain length — play an important role in our understanding of the properties of such materials. Research on electropolymerized polymers has concentrated on polypyrrole and polythiophene in particular and, more recently, on polyaniline as well, while of the chemically produced materials polyacetylene stih attracts greatest interest. Spectroscopic methods have proved particularly suitable for characterizing structural properties These comprise surface techniques such as XPS, AES or ATR, on the one hand, and the usual methods of structural analysis, such as NMR, ESR and X-ray diffraction techniques, on the other hand. 

Chain length is another factor closely related to the structural characterization of conducting polymers. The importance of this parameter lies in its considerable influence on the electric as well as the electrochemical properties of conducting polymers. However, the molecular weight techniques normally used in polymer chemistry cannot be employed on account of the extreme insolubility of the materials. A comparison between spectroscopic findings (XPS, UPS, EES) for PPy and model calculations has led some researchers to conclude that 10 is the minimum number of monomeric units in a PPy chain, with the maximum within one order of magnitude n9- 27,i28) mechanical qualities of the electropolymerized films,...
