| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A series of copper compounds, which have a long lifetime energetic state (excited state), has been synthesized. Some metal compounds show reversible oxidation/reduction reactions. The reactions of these metal complexes and some molecules have been studied. No reaction was observed between the copper(I) compounds and dichloromethane, which is one of the typical organic chlorides. However reduction of carbon dioxide occurs using a copper complex in the presence of sacrificial reductant to give carbon monoxide. More efficient reduction of carbon dioxide was observed using a combination of the copper complexes and a nickel complex.
