Outline of Final Research Achievements

Various bulky ionic liquids were modified on substrate surfaces and "ionic liquid-reaction field" with various sized spaces were constructed. The size of ionic liquid-reactionfield affected on the surface structures of modified ionic liquids and redox behavior of trapped ferrocene molecules.
Furthermore, ionic liquid-modified Au nanoparticles and nano sized porous materials like FSM-16 were also constructed. Metal complexes were entrapped into the ionic liquid-reaction field constructed on the surface of Au nanoparticles and FSM-16. The catalytic ability of Cu complex entrapped in the ionic liquid-reaction field in FSM-16 were estimated from the oxidation reaction of thioanisole. The Cu complex-entrapped FSM modified by ionic liquids indicated good reusability in its catalytic reaction.
