Design and Functionalization of Noncovalently Linked Metal Complexes for Development of Supramolecular Synthetic Chemistry

在本研究计画中，我们发展了一种新颖的超分子合成化学，设计非共价金属配合物用于有机反应。我们发现，在基态和/或光激发态发生的主体和客体的特征电子相互作用，带来了各种独特的超分子反应。这一反应概念同样适用于比热反应更难处理的光反应，并将成为发展下一代反应的重要方法。

In this research project, we have developed a novel supramolecular synthetic chemistry, which designs noncovalent metal complexes for the organic reactions. We found that characteristic electronic interactions of the host and guest, occurring in the ground and/or photoexcited states, bring about a variety of the unique supramolecular reactions. This reaction concept is also available into the photoreactions, whose handling is usually more difficult than that of the thermal reactions, and will be an important methodology for development of the next-generationreactions.
