In situ formation of disulfide linkages between liposomes and Sephacryl gel particles both of that were bearing mercapto moieties was demonstrated. The reaction led to immobilization of the liposomes on the gel. The immobilized liposomes could be detached by reductive treatment of the liposome-gel conjugate, and the resulting gel was still capable of further immobilizing liposomes.

The McMurry coupling of tris(5-formyl-2-thienyl)methane afforded an unsubstituted, etheno-bridged trithienylmethanophane which was in turn transformed to novel cage-molecular monocation, dication, and dianion of substantial stability. The latter two species are the first examples of fully conjugated ionic cyclophane cage molecule.

The product was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscope. It was found that ethylenediamine has a great influence on the morphology and purity of the final products.

It was found that
FeD adopted a stable
syn conformation as a result of the inclusion of atomic oxygen in a μ-oxo fashion, but on exposure to acidic conditions converted into the extended
anti form. When this was subsequently made basic the
syn conformation was re-adopted, simply due to re-inclusion of atomic oxygen forming the μ-oxo species. It was found that the combination of these affects allowed
FeD to undergo repeated conformational switching cycles that were reproducible and robust.

A macrocyclic ether produced from benzoxazine dimers and ditosylated diethylene glycols is a model to show that the cyclization occurs when intramolecular hydrogen bond of benzoxazine dimer is eliminated in the strong basic condition via a selective [2 + 2] pathway without metal template effect. Macrocyclic ethers perform inclusion phenomena at host-guest stoichiometric ratios of 1:1, and 2:1 depending on the type of metal ion, as clarified by UV and
1H NMR.

A high boiling fraction of straight run gas oil, which contained 4,6-DMDBT by addition but free from dimethylbiphenyl and dimethylcyclohexylbenzene of its HDS products, was desulfurized over commercial catalysts to find principal products of 4,6-DMDBT. Thus, HDS of 4,6-DMDBT in the high boiling fraction of real feed was proved to proceed principally through hydrogenative route. During the HDS of the fraction, 4,6-DMDBT was found to be produced from trimethyldibenzothiophenes. This activity depended very much on the acidity of the catalyst.
