| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We have gained a better understanding of the overall synthetic process used to create asymmetric catenanes. The yield of the desired catenane molecule is influenced by the electronic properties of the reactants.
The crystal structure of an asymmetric catenane ligand was obtained. Structural disorder was observed, suggesting a diverse packing in the solid state due to the molecule's asymmetric property.

Current Status of Research Progress
4: Progress in research has been delayed.
Reason
The synthesis of catenane ligands is challenging in its own right. It took time to optimize the reaction condition and understand how the new molecules packed in the solid state.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
New ligands will be designed in order to reduce the disordered packing in the solid state.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
The synthetic work takes time and is challenging. As a result, the progress of the project is slow. The remaining funding will be used to continue the project.
