Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A variety of small molecules, polymers, and supramolecules have been prepared from naturally occurring riboflavin (vitamin B2). For example, we succeeded in the synthesis of novel optically active polymers containing bis-riboflavins with an extended π-conjugated system, which could be obtained by a coupling reaction of monomeric riboflavin derivatives. The obtained riboflavin-derived compounds revealed unique optical and redox properties and catalysis originated from the π-conjugated system of flavin and could be applied to functional materials such as the optical sensor and polymeric catalyst.
