    Word of the Director

    In 2001, the National Institute of Chemistrysuccessfully carried out its mission as a high-quality research organisation wishing to makean important contribution to economicprogress and improving the quality of life inSlovenia.The operation of the institute comprised:- Basic and applied research,- Staff training and education, and- Targeted development work.The institute’s research was focussed on the ar-eas of theoretical chemistry and spectroscopy,chemical analysis, chemistry environmental andtechnology, chemical engineering, biotechnol-ogy, and pharmaceutical and material chemistry.

    To a large extent, in 2001 we concentrated oninternational cooperation. We succeeded inenhancing numerous bilateral, COST, EUREKA,NATO and other international projects in the5th EU framework programme. Through re-search work in 5FP projects, research groupsof the institute established closer links withresearchers in academic institutions and com-panies around the world, raising the profile ofthe Institute abroad and increasing the ex-change of researchers, including researchersfrom other countries coming to the Institute.In addition to joint work with researchersaround the world and exchanges of research-

    Kemijski in{titut je v letu 2001 uspe{no oprav-ljal poslanstvo vrhunske raziskovalne organi-zacije, ki ‘eli pomembno prispevati h gospo-darskemu napredku in izbolj{evanju kvalitete‘ivljenja v Sloveniji.Delovanje in{tituta je obsegalo- temeljne in aplikativne raziskave,- usposabljanje in izobra‘evanje kadrov ter- ciljno razvojno delo.Raziskave in{tituta so bile usmerjene na po-dro~je teoreti~ne kemije in spektroskopije, ana-lizne kemije, kemije in tehnologije okolja, ke-mijskega in‘enirstva, biotehnologije, kemijezdravil in prehrane ter materialov.

    V letu 2001 smo se v veliki meri posvetili med-narodnemu sodelovanju. Uspeli smo uspe{nonadgraditi {tevilne bilateralne, COST, EUREKA,NATO in druge mednarodne projekte s pro-jekti 5. okvirnega programa EU. Z raziskoval-nim delom pri projektih 5.OP so se raziskoval-ne skupine in{tituta tesneje povezale z razi-skovalci v akademskih in{titucijah in podjetjihv svetu, dosegli smo bolj{o razpoznavnost in-{tituta v tujini in ve~jo izmenjavo raziskovalcevtudi v smeri iz drugih dr‘av na Kemijski in{ti-tut. Poleg skupnega dela z raziskovalci po sve-tu in izmenjave raziskovalcev pomenijo evrop-ski projekti tudi pomemben finan~ni prihodekza izpeljavo zahtevnih projektov. V letu 2002

    ers, European projects also provide an impor-tant source of funding for the implementationof demanding projects. European projects willrepresent more than 7% of the total income ofthe Institute in 2002. Some projects have beenprepared in conjunction with Slovene compa-nies, and we are delighted that together we willcontribute our knowledge and obtain the knowl-edge of others to the benefit of all partners.

    The results presented in the report point tothe excellent results of work in the last year.Numerous original scientific works were pub-lished in distinguished journals. The high levelof knowledge enabled successful educationof young researchers and lead to a significantincrease in cooperation with companies. The22% increase in revenues of the Institute in2001 enabled significant updating of researchequipment. With the help of the Ministry ofEducation, Science and Sport we conducted anumber of important renovations of NationalInstitute of Chemistry premises which, togetherwith the planned interventions in the next fewyears will also provide better working condi-tions for employees.

    A major event at the National Institute of Chem-istry last year was the award of the title of Hon-orary Member of the National Institute of Chem-istry. Academician professor Dr Du{an Had`ibecame the thirteenth honorary member in the55-year history of the Institute. Prof. Had`i hasbeen researching at the Institute ever since itwas founded and has played a major role in theachieved level of research and in the develop-ment of the National Institute of Chemistry intoa modern institute enjoying a distinguishedreputation at home and around the world. Wewish Professor Had`i many more years of suc-cessful research work at the Institute.

    The basic role of the National Institute of Chem-istry will continue to be the acquisition of newknowledge and its transfer through trainingand education of young researchers and co-

    bodo predstavljali evropski projekti ‘e preko7% vseh prihodkov in{tituta. Nekatere projek-te smo pripravili skupaj s slovenskimi podjetjiin veselimo se, da bomo skupaj prispevali svo-je znanje ter pridobili znanje drugih v koristvseh partnerjev.

    V poro~ilu prikazani dose‘ki ka‘ejo na zelo do-bro opravljeno delo v preteklem letu. V ugled-nih revijah so bila objavljena {tevilna izvirnaznanstvena dela. Visok nivo znanja je omogo-~il uspe{no izobra‘evanje mladih raziskoval-cev in pomembno pove~an obseg sodelovanjas podjetji. Za 22 % pove~ani prihodki in{titutav letu 2001 so omogo~ili pomembno posodo-bitev raziskovalne opreme. S pomo~jo Mini-strstva za {olstvo, znanost in {port smo uresni-~ili nekaj pomembnih sanacij prostorov KI, kibodo skupaj z na~rtovanimi posegi v nasled-njih letih omogo~ili tudi bolj{e delovne pogo-je zaposlenim.

    Velik dogodek na in{titutu je bila v lanskemletu tudi podelitev naziva ^astni ~lan Kemij-skega in{tituta. Trinajsti ~astni ~lan v 55-letnizgodovini in{tituta je postal akademik prof.dr. Du{an Had‘i. Prof. Had‘i na in{titutu razi-skuje vse od njegove ustanovitve in ima velikezasluge za dose‘eno raven raziskav in za razvojKemijskega in{tituta v moderno ustanovo, kiu‘iva ugled doma in po svetu. Profesor Had‘i-ju ‘elimo {e vrsto let uspe{nega raziskovalne-ga dela na in{titutu.

    Tudi v prihodnje bo osnovna nalogaKemijskega in{tituta pridobivanje in ustvarjan-je novih znanj in njihov prenos z usposablja-njem in izobra‘evanjem mladih raziskovalcevter sodelovanjem s partnerji z industrije. Za-stavljene cilje bomo lahko dosegli le s sode-lovanjem z najbolj{imi raziskovalnimi skupi-nami v Sloveniji in po svetu.

    Preteklo leto je bilo za Kemijski in{titut uspe-{no. Zahvala za to gre vsem sodelavcem in{ti-tuta, prijateljem in poslovnim partnerjem. Pre-

Hiswork has been linked to theInstitute since itsestablishment in 1953, when he formed theDepartment of Structural Chemistry which un-der his leadership (until he retired in 1992)became one of the leading world centres inthe area of infrared spectroscopy.The main area of work of Academician Had‘i islinked to research of hydrogen bonds. He dis-covered the majority of the phenomenologyof strong hydrogen bonds. His research at-tracted numerous doctorate candidates andspread knowledge of infrared and Raman spec-troscopy and their application to basic researchand industry in Slovenia and the various partsof the former Yugoslavia.Currently, academician Had‘i is once again in-tensively engaged with current problems ofstrong hydrogen bonds, and in cooperationwith scientists in Slovenia and abroad is at-tempting to resolve numerous contradictionsand to fill gaps in our understanding of stronghydrogen bonds.

    Last year the hourly cost of research rose bybetween 16 and 19 per cent, after remaining atthe same level for a number of years. This hadthe effect of increasing the contractual valuesfor programme and project financing, while thehourly cost for calculating the founder’s obli-gations was also increased by around 14 percent. Financing proceeded fairly evenly through-out the course of the year, which reflected posi-tively on the harmonisation of financial and li-quidity transactions.

    After a period of several years we recorded areal growth in income, or volume of business inthe current year, of approximately 10 per cent.The other main factors influencing the positiveoperating result were enlarged scope of in-come from cooperation with domestic indus-try and income from abroad, the current moni-toring of operations, the analysing of the peri-odic operating results of the Institute as well as

    V strukturi prihodkov ugotavljamo pove~anjedele‘a doma~ega trga, tujega trga in izrednihprihodkov, medtem ko se je dele‘ prora~unazmanj{al.Prora~unska sredstva so zna{ala 1.370.124 tiso~SIT (znesek vklju~uje tudi 35.782 tiso~ SITprihodkov za investic. vzdr‘evanje) oziroma75,63 % vseh prihodkov, kar je za 2 odstotnito~ki manj kot v preteklem letu.Kljub 18,6 % pove~anju prora~unskih sredstevv letu 2001 pa se negativni trend strukturnegadele‘a celotnih prora~unskih sredstev nadaljuje(leto 1999 = 79,2 %, leto 2000 = 77,7 %, leto2001 = 75,6 %).Letna struktura prora~unskih sredstev se jenekoliko spremenila, pove~al se je dele‘ zatemeljne in aplikativne projekte, zmanj{al pa zaustanoviteljske obveznosti in mednarodneprojekte.V letu 2001 je bilo financiranih 21 programskihskupin oz. 89.253 raziskovalnih ur ter 56raziskovalnih projektov, od katerih je bilo 10zunanjih odgovornih nosilcev projektov.

    Dodatno k aplikativnim projektom so prihodkiiz direktnega sodelovanja s slovenskimi podjetjizna{ali 285.470 tiso~ SIT, kar predstavlja15,76% vseh prihodkov, in bele‘ijo indeks rasti123,1; znatno ve~ pa so se pove~ali prihodkina tujem trgu, katerih dele‘ je 2,7 % in sozna{ali 49.403 tiso~ SIT, bele‘ijo pa najve~joindeksno rast, ki je 225,9.

    compared to the previous year, which is 1.9percentage points less than the income growthindex. This difference is disclosed as the resultof a surplus of incomes over expenses amount-ing to SIT 94,417,000, or 5.2 per cent of totalincome.

    In the income structure there was an increase inthe share accounted for by the domestic mar-ket, foreign markets and extraordinary income,while the share of budget income fell. Budgetfunds amounted to SIT 1,370,124,000 (includ-ing SIT 35,782,000 in income for investmentmaintenance), or 75.63 per cent of total income,which is 2 percentage points less than in theprevious year.

    Despite an 18.6 per cent increase in budgetfunds in 2001 the negative trend in the struc-tural share of total budget funds is continuing(79.2 per cent in 1999, 77.7 per cent in 2000,75.6 per cent in 2001). The annual structure ofbudget funds has changed somewhat: the sharefor basic and applied projects has risen whilefor founder’s obligations and internationalprojects it has fallen. In 2001 some 21programme groups, or 89,253 research hours,and 56 research projects were financed, includ-ing 10 external project leaders.

    Aditionaly to aplicative projects, income fromdirect cooperation with Slovenian industryamounted to SIT 285,470,000, which repre-sents 15.76 per cent of total income and re-corded a growth index of 123.1, while the in-crease in income on foreign markets, whichmakes up 2.7 per cent of the total, was consid-erably more. It rose by SIT 49,403,000 and re-corded the largest growth index of 225.9. In-come from abroad more than doubled, whichrepresents a great success on the part of ourresearchers, who have played an active part inacquiring European Union projects.

    In 2001 the Collective Agreement for ResearchActivities was amended a number of times, lead-ing to a 21 per cent increase in the total wagebill. In January there was a 3.6 per cent rise inthe starting value for the first tariff class. Therewas also an increase in the supplement underArticle 54 a, b and c, 50 per cent of which waspaid out in January and the other 50 per cent inDecember. In August we paid out the correctivesupplement for the first time, and in Novemberand December the supplements under Article54 a, b, c and g were amended again.

    Among costs of material the significant rises inthe index were for office material, work gar-ments, laboratory glass, other special material,energy, water and municipal services. The risesin these items resulted exclusively from highersupplier prices and the increased volume ofwork.

    The depreciation of fixed assets, amounting toSIT 249,096,000, was reduced by SIT57,665,000 against sources of assets receivedfor the purpose of management and by SIT24,519,000 against long-term provisions.Among other costs there was an increase inscholarships for training abroad, for expendi-ture related to safety at work and for corpora-tion tax.

    In 2001, with the help of the Ministry of Educa-tion, Science and Sport (MESS) and budgetfunds, we continued the refurbishment of theoffice building. Investment works amounted toapproximately SIT 81.8 million, of which SIT 58.4million went on the refurbishment of the largelecture hall, SIT 17.7 million was to replace theroofing, the cellar refurbishment project costSIT 1.4 million, the ventilation project cost SIT2.4 million, and the replacement of the internaltelephone switchboard with a CENTREX tele-phone system cost SIT 0.8 million.

    Purchasing of research equipment totalled SIT195,511,000 and proceeded in accordance withregulations governing public contracts andregulations for small contracts and the plan foracquisition of fixed assets. We also concludedall outstanding contracts under the 5th Minis-try of Science and Technology tender package.

    The value of the Institute’s assets amounted toSIT 2,192,191,000, having increased by just 4.2per cent compared to the previous year, whichin real terms represents a fall in value.

    so pokazale, da imajo aminokislinski ostanki vdenaturiranih proteinih (6M urea) enake kon-formacijske preference kot aminokislinski os-tanki v nativnih proteinih. S simulacijami Mon-te Carlo denaturiranih proteinov smo dokaza-li, da je vzrok za te preference v solvataciji polar-nih atomov glavne verige. Izra~unane dimenzi-je in NMR H(alfa) in C(alfa) sklopitvene kon-stante se dobro ujemajo z eksperimentalnimipodatki, kar ni uspelo {e nobenemu drugemuteoretskemu modelu denaturiranih proteinov.

    that conformational preferences ofdenaturated proteins are the same as in theirnative state. It was shown that the prefer-ences have their roots in the solvation of mainchain polar atoms.

    - In the analyses of mutational experiments theinfluence of the denatured state is usuallyneglected. The studies of the stabilities ofbeta-pleated sheets in zinc-finger proteinshave shown that the solvation energies ofamino acid residua in denatured proteins arecrucial factors in the understanding of themutational experiments.

    - The chemical shifts of H(alpha) and C(alpha)atoms which are deposited in BMRB databasewere analysed and it was shown, contrary tothe common belief, that the shifts are solva-tion dependent.

Z IR spektroskopijo smo dolo~ili konfi-guracijsko interakcijo molekul vode. V ta na-men smo razvili novo metodo, ki pripomorek celovitej{i interpretaciji infrarde~ih in dife-ren~nih spektrov.

    - Sedaj, ko je v celoti poznano zaporedje ~lo-ve{kega genoma, se je pokazalo, da je vseb-nost in tudi pomen ponavljajo~ih se zapore-dij nad pri~akovanji. Opravili smo analizo krat-kih nukleotidnih ponovitev v tistih podro~jihgenov, kjer so kodirani proteini. Pokazali smo,da so tam kratke ponovitve za en velikostnired manj pogoste kot v ostalih podro~jih,vendar omejitve, ki jih postavljata strukturain funkcija proteinov, ne morejo izlo~iti vpli-va mehanizmov (zdrsi pri replikaciji), ki vodi-jo do ponovitev.

    - V sodelovanju s tovarnama Lek Ljubljana inKrka Novo mesto ter IJS in Fakulteto za far-macijo smo razvili nove inhibitorje beta lak-tamaz, trombina in giraze B. Inhibitorje opre-delimo glede na njihove stereoelektronskestrukturne parametre in jim dolo~imo kristal-no strukturo ter kristalne strukture komplek-sov z encimi. Rezultati so v fazi publiciranjaoziroma v postopku patentiranja.

    - Na podro~ju razvoja metod za ra~unanje elek-tronske strukture molekul s pomo~jo Greeno-vih funkcij smo izvedli vrsto optimizacij, ki vo-dijo do sistemati~nega izbolj{anja natan~nostiin hitrosti ra~unanja. Metodo smo posplo{iliza obravnavo ve~jih molekulskih sistemov.

    - The analyses of coding regions of primategenes were performed in order to obtain theinsight into the nature of short nucleotidetandem repeats. This was the first analysis ofthis kind and the comparison with non-cod-ing regions offered information on the con-straints which imposed on the coding re-gions by the protein function.

    - New inhibitors of beta lactamase, thrombinand bacterial gyrase were designed and syn-thesized. The inhibitors were characterized bydetermining the stereoelectronic parametersand crystal structure of the inhibitors them-selves and of the inhibitor – enzyme com-plexes. The work was performed in collabora-tion with the Lek company from Ljubljana, theKrka company from Novo Mesto, Faculty ofPharmacy and Jo`ef [tefan Institute.

    - In the field of electronic structure determina-tion using the Green function method, newoptimisation procedures were implementedwhich led to a systematic improvement in theaccuracy of results and speed of calculation.

    - The structural changes in the hydration shellof the lysozyme molecule were determinedin the collaboration with the researchers atthe University of Heidelberg.

    - A new model was designed that describesthe interaction of calcium ions with the pro-tein binding site. The model was developedin collaboration with French partner in theframework of the Proteus project. The modelleads to excellent agreement between theoryand experiment.

    - A REPLICA/PATH method, which is based onthe quantum mechanics-molecular mechan-ics (QM/MM) methodology was developedand integrated in the CHARMM computerprogramme package.

    - The SISM symplectic molecular dynamicsmethod was generalized to a form in whichit can treat planar molecules. When appliedto the simulation of water system it outper-forms all other methods.

Z novim modelom dose‘emo odli~-no ujemanje teoreti~nih rezultatov z eksperi-mentalnimi strukturnimi podatki za aneksin.

    - Na podro~ju razvoja metod QM/MM smo ra-zvili metodo REPLICA/PATH, ki je vgrajena vCHARMM, enega najpogosteje uporabljenihprogramskih paketov za molekulske simulaci-je, katerega soavtor je tudi dr. Milan Hodo{~ek.

    - Na podro~ju razvoja simplekti~nih integracij-skih metod za simulacijo molekulske dina-mike nam je uspelo metodo SISM posplo{itiza planarne molekule. Tako razvita metodaomogo~a izra~un IR spektra (npr. vode) takonatan~no, kot nobena druga znana metoda.

    - Dr. Du{anka Jane`i~ je leta 2001 postala “As-sociate Editor” revije Journal of Chemical In-formation and Computer Sciences(IF=2.929), American Chemical Society Pub-lications. ACS je v Ljubljani ustanovil Euro-pean Editorial Office.

    - V okviru dela na peptidih, ki zavrejo delova-nje endotoksina lipopolisaharida (LPS), smoz NMR ter modeliranjem ugotavljali interak-cijo in dolo~ali trodimenzionalne strukturepeptidov, vezanih na LPS. Eksperimentalnopridobljene strukture smo uporabili za raz{i-ritev teoreti~nega modela vezave s hidrofob-nimi motivi. Raz{irjeni model je prispevek krazumevanju entropijsko gnane vezave pep-tidov na LPS na molekularni ravni, preizkusilipa ga bomo pri na~rtovanju inhibitorjev en-dotoksi~ne aktivnosti.

    - The studies of peptides which block the ac-tion of lipoplysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin pro-ceeded with the determination of three di-mensional structures of peptides which bindto LPS. The experimental structures were usedto update the theoretical model of peptidebinding to LPS. The results will be used forthe design of new inhibitors with endotoxicactivities.

    - In collaboration with the Frankfurt group thestructure and dynamics of cytochrome c552was determined in oxidized and reducedstate. It was found that the structure anddynamic of the protein in both states are verysimilar at the nanosecond time scale but dif-fer at the millisecond time scale. A side prod-uct of this study was a computer program forsemi-automatic sequence-specific assign-ment of NMR resonances (st2nmr).

    - The modification of lactoferricin peptideswith alkyl chains led to improved antimicro-bial activity of the peptides. The research iscontinued in collaboration with the researchgroups of five European countries as a FifthEuropean Framework project. The resultswere also patented.

    - In the collaboration with Prof. Waltho’s re-search group (Sheffield) a three dimensionalstructure of stefin A dimer was determined bythe NMR spectroscopy. NMR relaxation param-eters for protein monomer and dimer weremeasured and analysed as the first case ofcomparison of protein dynamics betweenswapped dimer and monomer form. Resultsindicate long-range dynamics effect as a re-sult of protein dimerization. Results are im-portant as a model for protein aggregation indisease such as spongioform encephalopates.

    - Z modifikacijo peptidov laktofericina z alkil-nimi verigami smo izbolj{ali antimikrobno de-lovanje novih spojin na po Gramu pozitivnein negativne bakterije za ve~ kot 50-krat. Ra-ziskave nadaljujemo v sodelovanju s kolegi iz4 evropskih dr‘av in ZDA v okviru evropskegaprojekta v 5. okvirnem programu, vlo‘ili pasmo tudi patentno prijavo.

    - V sodelovanju s skupino prof. Waltha iz Shef-fielda smo s pomo~jo NMR dolo~ili trodimen-zionalno strukturo stefina A, ki je zelo po-membna kot model za tvorbo proteinskih agre-gatov pri boleznih, kot so amiloidoze ali spon-giformne encefalopatije (TSE). Metode NMRsmo uporabili za analizo razlik v dinamiki mo-nomerne in dimerne molekule, kjer so se po-kazale razlike tudi na predelih, ki so oddaljeniod neposrednega stika med podenotama.

    - [tudirali smo strukturo in dinamiko vodiko-ve vezi v acetilacetonu. Z uporabo teorije go-stotnih funkcionalov smo konstruirali 4-di-menzionalno potencialno hiperploskev, kivklju~uje prostostne stopnje, ki so najmo~-neje sklopljene z gibanjem protona. Ostaleintramolekularne prostostne stopnje in klo-roform kot topilo smo obravnavali klasi~no.Ra~uni, ki so bili osnovani na me{ani kvant-no-klasi~ni dinamiki, so nas pripeljali do si-muliranega spektra, kjer se OH vibracijski traklepo ujema z eksperimentalnim.

    - [tudirali smo intramolekularno vez v N-oksi-du pikolinske kisline. Konstruirali smo dvo-dimenzionalni potencial in v kvantno dina-miko vklju~ili zunanje elektromagnetno po-lje. [tudija bo omogo~ila za~etek eksperimen-tov “pulse-echo” v obravnavanem sistemu.

    - Razvili smo programski paket za re{evanje dvo-dimenzionalne vibracijske Schroedingerjeveena~be z variacijsko metodo. Ra~unalni{ki pro-gram je namenjen predvsem uporabnikom s

    sically. The result was the vibrational spec-trum which was in good agreement with theexperimental infrared spectrum. A similarstudy was performed for picolinic acid N-ox-ide, where external laser field was included.A program package was developed for solu-tion of the two-dimensional time-indepen-dent vibrational Schroedinger equation us-ing the variational method.

    - In the framework of a NATO research projectthe isotope effect on the reaction rate ofozone formation (O+02=O3) was recon-structed in great detail.

Pri vzorcih, pri-pravljenih pri 55 at %, smo pokazali prisot-nost fraktalov.

    films were synthesised with intercalation prop-erties, the primary use of which is as counter-electrodes in electrochromic devices. InVO4,FeVO4 and Fe2V4O13 are important due to theirhigh capacity to store lithium and in the fu-ture might substitute ubiquitous carbon,lithium or Sn-oxide based alloy anodes inlithium rechargeable batteries. IR spectra stud-ies of InVO4 showed that at high intercalationvalues In ions remained in their 3+ state (re-cently confirmed from the XPS spectra) whilefor the FeVO4 and FeV4O13 films IRspectroelectrochemical studies confirmed thatalso Fe ions took part in redox changing dur-ing the intercalation/deintercalation processes.

    - WO3 films are ubiquitous for theelectrochromic device applications. Amor-phous and crystalline (monoclinic) WO3 filmswere prepared via the peroxo-sol-gel routeand the infrared spectra of the films in vari-ous stages of intercalated lithium, sodiumand protons were measured. Results con-firmed that the NaxWO3 and LixWO3 formedcubic bronzes while the HxWO3 can be de-scribed more appropriately as anoxyhydroxyde of tungsten with hydrogen at-tached to one of the possible oxygen sites inthe cubic WO3 unit cell.

    - Nanocomposite gel membranes based onbis- endcapped triethoxysilane covalentlybonded to the polypropylenglycol chain (MW= 4000) exhibiting proton conductivity wereprepared and studied. We showed that the2-phosphotungstic and 12-silicotungstic acidincorporated gels are proton conductors withconductivity up to 10-3 S cm-1. This makesthem suitable for fuel cell applications. Struc-tural studies based on infrared and Ramanspectroscopic techniques revealed incorpo-ration and embedment of the protonicallyconductive species in gels.

    - Using sol-gel synthesis coatings with spec-tral selective properties were made for solarabsorbers. We found that certain Mn-spinels(Co, Fe) exhibited high solar absorptances inthe solar range and low thermal emittance

    - Using novel experimental and computationalapproaches pigment dispersions containinginorganic FeMnCuOx and carbon soot pig-ments were studied. They consist of pigmentparticles having a size of 60 nm (FeMnCuOx)and 20 nm (carbon soot), respectively.Kubelka-Munk and four-flux scattering theo-ries were used for the evaluation of thereflectivity of a thickness sensitive spectrally

    - In-situ vibrational spectroscopic measure-ments of gasochromic and electrochromic

    selective paint coatings using experimentallydetermined scattering and absorption cross-sections as the input parameters. Efficiencycurves were calculated for a flat-plate solarcollector. Results revealed that the correspon-dent efficiencies are 0.45 (as = 0.80, eT =0.2) and 0.5 (eT = 0.35, as = 0.93) whichgave promise to use the coatings for solarabsorbers in heat-water solar collectors. Re-sults collected so far from our studies of spec-trally selective paint coatings for solar absorb-ers were presented in the invited paper inSolar Materials & Solar Cells.

    - Various thin solid films of polymeric and glassymaterials were prepared and their optical con-stants in the visible and IR spectral range werecalculated. These results served as the inputdata for the optical constants of the matrix ofthe heterogeneous systems and consequentlyfor the determination of absorption and scat-tering cross-sections of the complete systemand in some cases, to study the local orderingof the structure of glassy materials.

    - One of the most important achievements isrepresented by a chapter written in a bookInterdisciplinarnost barve “The interdiscipli-nary nature of colour”(2001) about the phys-ics of colour.
