Reconstructing recursive chemotaxis in inanimate self-propelled objects is inevitable in the development of recursively and autonomously artificial mass transport systems. However, the fabrication of inanimately recursive chemotaxis has been extremely challenging because of the difficulty in introducing competitive positive and negative feedback into an inanimate self-propelled object. Herein, a coumarin derivative (coumarin, 4-methylcoumarin (4-MC), or 6-methylcoumarin (6-MC))-based disk floated on water as a self-propelled object exhibited characteristic features of motion; these features include continuous motion, repetition between positive and negative chemotaxis to the Na3PO4powder as a base stimulus, and oscillatory motion above the Na3PO4powder depending on the Na3PO4density of the powder and the functional group of coumarin derivatives. The mechanism of the characteristic features of motion to the base stimulus is discussed in relation to the surface tension of the coumarin derivatives as the driving force of motion and the reaction rate of the hydrolysis between coumarin derivatives and OH–obtained from Na3PO4. This study suggests a novel avenue for developing a recursive chemotactic system coupled with reaction kinetics in self-organized motion.
