Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we tried to develop various kinds of stimuli-responsive dynamic catalysts by using various stimuli to demonstrate spatiotemporal control of chemical reaction and to accomplish multi-stage control of chemical reaction. We have developed some stimuli-responsive dynamic catalysts, such as stimuli-responsive acid-base-combined catalyst and stimuli-responsive Lewis acid catalyst, that switch the catalytic activities based on photo- and thermal-responsive isomerization of azobenzene. However, development of stimuli-responsive dynamic catalysts that utilize photo-isomerization of stilbene has not been accomplished. Furthermore, stimuli-responsive dynamic catalysts that switch the catalytic functions other than catalytic activity have not been developed. Therefore, multi-stage control of chemical reaction utilizing the stimuli-responsive dynamic catalysts still has not been demonstrated.
