| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The research was mainly focused on the development of the “functional models (metal complexes)” of the stimuli-responsive bio-related chemical species. In this project, we have successfully synthesized new functional models of (i) “light-responsive chemical species” that play an important role in light energy conversion system and (ii) “low-valent metal species” that are known as reactive intermediates in reducing enzyme: for instance (i) a highly luminescent and highly oxygen-sensitive terbium complex with an extendable phenol pendant arm and (ii) an nickel-iron dinuclear complex that can catalyze reduction of dioxygen to water.
