Construction of Function-accumulated Supramolecules by Controlling Flexible Structure on the Basis of Formation of Helical Pseudomacrocycles

本研究的目的是利用有机-无机杂化螺旋超分子的形成和/或各种非共价相互作用来构建功能积累的超分子体系。关键的策略是将柔性分子结构转变为刚性分子结构。特别是，含氮杂环、邻苯二酚和亚胺类化合物被用作金属离子的结合单元。我们成功地合成了多种具有高协作性和/或多响应功能的超分子体系。

The purpose of this study is to construct function-accumulated supramolecular systems by utilizing formation of an organic-inorganic hybrid helical supramolecule and/or various non-covalent interactions. The key strategy is transformation of flexible molecular structure to rigid. In particular, N-containing heterocycles, catechol and imine derivatives were employed as a binding unit to metal ions. We succeeded in synthesis of a variety of supramolecular systems having high cooperativity and/or multi-responding functions.
