New efficient catalytic transformations with Si-H and Si-Si bonds promoted by early and late transition metal (Nd, Ru, Pt, Pd, etc.) complexes enable the synthesis and modification of various silicon polymers (polysilanes, polycarbosilanes, etc.). Possible key elemental processes depicted in the scheme are believed to take place in the catalyses.

The irreversible enthalpy-relaxation processes of a liquid were tracked by the temperature jump method, and simulated based on a double-well potential model. The processes were found to show remarkable nonexponentialities and a nonlinearity to the temperature jump. The nonlinearity (
) was interpreted to originate primarily from the fragility (m
), namely the non-Arrhenius property of the relaxation times.

Temperature dependence of the I K-edge EXAFS of a highly oriented I-PVA film was investigated in order to reveal any local structures around I. It was first demonstrated that the analysis of the EXAFS amplitude, which is associated with the Debye-Waller factor, gives information about the composition ratio of isolated I- , I3- , and I5- .

The impedance analysis of a polyaniline film electrode indicated that the electron exchange between metal and redox sites of the polymer controlled the rate of charge transfer process. A large capacitance in the partially oxidized state is explained in terms of the charge saturation effect associated with the finite thickness.

The saturable induced dipole moment (
; circles) is in fairly good agreement with the theoretical line, which was calculated using a recent Manning theory; it is therefore probably caused by the polarization of condensed counter ions on a polyion, while the unsaturable induced dipole moment may result from polarization of the Debye-H
ckel ion-atmosphere.

The spin-relaxation effects of the paramagnetic ions Cu2+ and VO2+ on the protons of solvent water and lipids in phosphatidylcholine membranes were observed. VO2+ occupies a binding site closer to the polar N-methyl groups and less accessible, which causes stronger motional restriction to a bound cation, compared with the site occupied by Cu2+ , as shown in the figure below.

An algorithm to predict the structures of molecular crystals has been developed. This algorithm, called a heuristic MD search, efficiently samples possible candidate structures for a crystal from the MD trajectory, as shown in the figure. This algorithm was successfully applied to predicting the crystal structures of CO2 , benzene, and pyrimidine molecules, as test examples.

The valence XPS of 16 polymers involving fluorine, nitrogen, a glucose unit, and a benzene nucleus and oxygen were simulated by a semi-empirical HAM/3 MO method using the monomer, dimer or trimer models. For example, Figure 1 shows the simulated spectra of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE). The theoretical spectra showed good agreement with the spectra of polymers, as observed between 0-40 eV.

Hydration to diol compounds in aqueous solution was investigated by the mass spectrometry of the solution (liquid droplets). Stabilities of monomer- and dimer-hydrate clusters of diol compounds in aqueous solution are much lower than those of 1-alkanols. With increasing size of the alkyl group(s), the stability became higher, showing the nature of hydrophobic hydration. Solute-solute association constants are very small, indicating solubilities of diols are higher than those of 1-alkanols.

Binuclear dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of the formula [(MoO2 )2 L] have been prepared using flexibly-bridged hexadentate tetraanionic ligands (LH4 ). [(MoO2 )2 L] reacts with monodentate ligands like DMSO, pyridine, and 4-methylpyridine to give monomeric species [(MoO2 )2 L(D)2 ]. These complexes are characterized by elemental analyses and various spectroscoppic techniques.
