Research Abstract |
The research project entitled "The Chemistry of Inter-element Linkage" has been performed during three academic years 1997-1999. The project has been focused on the Main Group Elements, i.e., the first systematic and generalized research project on the chemistry of the "Inter-element Linkage", which has been introduced as a new general term for chemical bonds such as mutual linkages within the heavy main group elements and linkages between the main group elements and the transition metals. The following four topics have been investigated : "Inter-element saturated linkages" (group leader : Kohei Tamao), "inter-element unsaturated linkages" (group leader : Masaaki Yoshifuji), "Linkages between main group elements and transition metals" (group leader : Fumiyuki Ozawa), and "Development of new functions of the inter-element linkages" (group leader : Tamejiro Hiyama). The main achievements are as follows. (1) Clear-cut experimental results have been obtained to clarify the origin of the sigma conjugation of the interelement saturated linkage based on the photophysical properties of some model compounds containing Si-Si bonds. (2) In addition to the "steric protection", the "aromatic stabilization" has been found to be useful for stabilization of some interelement unsaturated linkages. (3) The properties and reactivities of the interelement linkage between Pt and heavier group 14 elements have been studied in detail. (4) Several new methods have been developed for chemical activation of interelement linkages, which include radical reactions and carbenoid species as well as the transition metal catalysis.
