Solid parahydrogen is an excellent medium for matrix-isolation spectroscopy because it allows exceedingly high resolution spectroscopy and because it enables us to spectroscopically study fragment products of in situ photolysis of molecules doped in the matrix.

This review describes multi-electron reduction of CO2 catalyzed by metal complexes. Transformation from CO2 to CO on metals smoothly takes place either by acid-base equilibria in protic media or by oxide transfer to CO2 in aprotic ones. Conversion from M-CO to M-C(O)R (M = metal; R = H , alkyl) rather than M-CO2 to M-CO, therefore, is the key process for the multi-electron reduction of CO2 in protic and aprotic media. Besides an activation of CO2 on metals, basic ligands also provide suitable reaction sites for the reductive activation of CO2 without any accompanying C-O bond cleavage. Such activation is utilized in catalytic formation of C2 O4 2- by metal-sulfur clusters.

Superconductivity is discussed from the viewpoint of the symmetry breaking with the classical field theory, in terms of the Grassmann algebra. The Nambu representation for the Hamiltonian in question is invariant under the rotation about the z axis in the fictitious spin space, so that the Goldstone theorem suggests the condensation along x or y axis, followed by the massless Goldstone boson which is the supercurrent.

The spin-lattice relaxation time either in the superconducting or the normal phases is investigated by the use of the Green's function method. In this case the conduction electrons play a role of the lattice and the interaction mainly arises from the Fermi contact term. The behaviors of electrons and nuclei are both quantized. The coherent terms are summarized in a general fashion at the beginning.

Formaldehyde in a sulfuric acid aqueous solution makes the rate of the oxide formation slow. However, the reduction rate of the oxide is not affected by formaldehyde. This kinetic asymmetry is explained by dissociative adsorption of formaldehyde on an oxide-free platinum surface.

The structure and stability of heptahydrated divalent cations of earlier members in the first transition series were studied. The trend concerning the structural stability strongly depends on the electron configuration. The associative mechanism is possible for the water-exchange reaction on hexahydrated divalent cations of the earlier members.

The effect of tertiary phosphine was explored for the dimerization of propene using the nickel-phosphine catalyst system described below in the presence of MeSO3 H and/or Me2 SO4 . The catalyst with PEt3 and PEt2 Ph gave exclusively C6 olefins, and the isomer distribution highly depended upon the kind of tertiary phosphine used.

By static light scattering measurements at 25 °C, the micelle of 1-tetradecylpyridinium bromide is found to undergo a salt-induced sphere-rod transition at 0.19 mol dm-3 NaBr. The molecular weight of the rodlike micelles is small, probably because of their low solubility in concentrated NaBr solutions.

The multiple metal-metal bonds between divalent molybdenum (Mo(II)) ions in dimers and tetramers were investigated theoretically to elucidate possible electronic structures of the d-d conjugated systems. The orbital energy gaps, occupation numbers of natural orbitals (NO), effective bond orders and effective exchange integrals (Jab ) were calculated by ab initio UHF MO and DFT methods.

CsSnCl3 showed a phase transition to a cubic perovskite phase at 379 K, at which point the electronic conductivity increased to ca. 10-3 S cm-1 . CH3 NH3 SnCl3 showed successive phase transitions with the temperature, and at least five phases were confirmed. The electric conductivity of these crystals is governed by the semiconducting property.

Some equilibrium parameters were measured from a region where the adsorption obeyed Henry's law and quantitative features of the adsorption of Fe(II)-phen (1 ppm) were displayed.

Complexation between B(OH)3 and triethanolamine (H3 L) gives L-B and HL-B(OH) in aqueous solution. Both complexes have a tetrahedral structure around the boron atom, having a boron-nitrogen bond. We believe that this is the first evidence demonstrating the existence of a stable boron-nitrogen bond in aqueous solution.

Reaction between Zn/Al-LDH carbonate and Na2 HPO4 in a suspension system was investigated. A sodalite-type sodium zincophosphate with a small amount of Al atoms incorporated was obtained. The product has a quite similar structure to that of the pure sodalite-like sodium zincophosphate, but showed an improved thermal stability.
