Outline of Final Research Achievements

During this research, we found two unexpected results. First, we have succeeded in synthesizing new organolead compounds known as plumbylenoid. We revealed the structures and properties of the obtained the species. Second, we have created a new pi-conjugated molecules having front/back two-faced character. We elucidated its electronic character, and demonstrated the surface treatment of metal surfaces by using the obtained compound.
