Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we synthesized novel functional compounds by utilizing two features of bicyclic skeleton (structural rigidity and skeletal transformation), and investigated their properties.
1) We succeeded in synthesizing the molecule tweezers in which the bicyclic moiety is [2.2.1] type (norbornadiene, NBD), and clarifying the inclusion behavior with C60, C70.
2) We have synthesized benzoporphyrin triple-decker type rare earth metal complex in which the number of fused benzene rings is increased to 2 (2 isomers) and 3, 4, respectively. Their yields was improved to 70% or more. The structure of the obtained metal complex was determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis.
