Abstract: The conductive polyrotaxane of the present invention contains an electron-accepting cyclic molecule in each of its repeating unit. Since the electron-accepting cyclic molecule remains stable because of molecular interaction with a ?-conjugated oligomer molecule, the electron-accepting cyclic molecule is not dissociated during rotaxane polymerization reaction, and thus a conductive polyrotaxane of stable quality can be obtained.

Abstract: A bis-terpyridine monomer includes a first terpyridyl substituent (A), a second terpyridyl substituent (B), and a spacer that contains at least one benzene ring and links the first terpyridyl substituent (A) and the second terpyridyl substituent (B). The bis-terpyridine monomer is represented by the following formula (10): where X1 is a halogen; and R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently a halogen atom, an aryl group or an alkyl group.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to modify the surface of a metal nanoparticle with a cyclic phenylazomethine having a multi-ion sensing capability, thereby making the sensing of multiple substances possible. The metal nanoparticles of the invention are characterized by being modified with a cyclic phenylazomethine compound having a structure represented by Chemical Formula 1.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for temperature measurement in a microfluid channel of a microfluid device. According to the invention, a method for temperature measurement in a microfluid channel of a microfluid device, by means of which the temperature maybe simply measured with reliable accuracy, maybe achieved, whereby a volume element of the microfluid channel in which the temperature is to be measured is irradiated with a light source, elastically-scattered and other undesired light is separated off from the light with Raman scattering in the volume chamber, the Raman scattered light is recorded by a recording means, the recorded Raman scattered light is converted into Raman signals and the temperature in the volume element determined from the Raman signals.
