part one: Experimenting in a chemistry laboratory plays a significant role in the teaching of chemistry. Yet, the produced chemical waste inevitably becomes an environmental issue. In order to achieve the future reduction of chemical waste in the laboratory, the research in this thesis is designed into two sections: First, to analyze the current chemistry curriculums of senior high school; Second, to design proper experiments for the reduction of chemical waste in a chemistry laboratory. After analyzing the materials for the present chemistry curriculums, we concluded that although there are many versions of teaching materials available, the repetitions of the similar experiments occur frequently un these materials. Few experiments in the present have begun to pay attention to the chemical waste problem, but most of other experiments need to be redesigned or improved. The following three experiments are introduced to achieve the goal of the chemical waste reduction. 1. The preparation of Iodine and its chemical property. 2. The preparation of Nylon. 3. The preparation of chemical battery. The above three experiments not only produced promising effects in reducing the consumption of chemicals, but also in reducing the experimental time. Most importantly, the responses from students and their experimental results indicated that those experiments still maintained the data accuracy and achieved chemical reduction. part two: This thesis investigate the structures of four quinoline derivatives with single crystal X-ray diffraction: 1-methyl-3-phenylquinoline (1), 1-methyl-3-(p-chlorophenyl)quinoline (2), 2-ethyl-3-nitroquinoline (3), 3-nitro-2-phenylquinoline (4). The differences in their structural characteristics are discussed.
