Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to develop new, high performance catalysts for the direct transformation reactions of organic compounds through cleavage of C-H bonds as ubiquitous chemical bonds, various ligands have been examined for rhodium and palladium complexes. It has been found that using elaborated cyclopentadienyl and phosphorous ligands allows to improve their catalytic activity and to significantly expand the scope of applicable substrates. In addition, the utilization of cheap and abundant metals including copper and nickel as catalysts has also been examined, and a variety of unique transformations have been developed. Consequently, we have synthesized various pi-electron conjugated compounds with the developed catalyst systems and found a range of new interesting compounds that show semiconducting and solid state-luminescent properties.
