Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project was intended to the integration of solution-state chemistry and solid-state chemistry through the nano-cavities of self-assembled hollow complexes. New chemistry was established by the successful integration of those two fields, which have been developed independently so far. New mechanistic insights on molecular recognition events or reactions in solution state were visualized by the single crystal X-ray analyses of the guest inclusion complexes. Furthermore, topochemical control in thermal and photochemical reactions was achieved in solution when substrates are well reorganized in the cavity before the events.
