Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Supramolecular structures of light-harvesting antenna systems in phototrophs including brown algae, diatoms, cyanobacteria, purple bacteria, and green bacteria were elucidated and their excited energy migrating and transferring processes were revealed by various spectroscopies. Based on the above investigation, artificial photosynthetic antenna systems were constructed using natural and synthetic chlorophylls and carotenoids. Combination of the artificial antennas with energy conversion moieties producing high energy compounds (hydrogen, carbon monoxide, etc.) were performed on several solids containing mesoporous organosilica to afford artificial photosynthetic systems.
