| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We carried out two unresolved issues in molecular self-assembly: (1) establishing design principle of “molecular hozo” for the construction of discrete self-assemblies only using very weak, non-directional intermolecular interactions (van der Waals and cation-pai interactions) and the hydrophobic effect in water and (2) revealing molecular self-assembly process by a novel method (QASAP), which was developed by us. In the first project, we designed gear-shaped amphiphiles, developed a novel method to synthesize C2v symmetric hexaphenylbenzene derivatives, and succeeded in developing a cubic assembly “nanocube” that is stable at 130 °C in water. In the second project, self-assembly processes of 14 coordination assemblies were revealed by QASAP, which shows several features in molecular self-assembly. Besides, chiral self-sorting processes where enantiomers are spontaneously sorted into homochiral assemblies were revealed by QASAP.
