| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The effective utilization of renewable energies such as wind and solar power is an important research target to solve emerging global environmental and energy problems in these days. One of ways to utilize such energies is to synthesize chemical fuels by the electricity obtained from the renewable energies. These reactions are the small molecule conversion reactions via multi-electron reduction/oxidation processes. Therefore, the development of molecular catalysts for the reactions is highly desired.
In this research, we have aimed to develop a series of pentanuclear molecular catalysts for small molecule conversion. Several new pentanuclar complexes have been synthesized by changing their components; metal ions and organic ligands, and their catalytic activity for small molecule conversion have systematically been investigated.
