| Research Abstract |
Graphene has recently attracted considerable attention to many researchers in fields not only of basic science such as chemistry and physics but also of applied technology of functional materials including electronic materials. We have synthesized triangular multi-metal complexes and box-shaped metal complexes for modifying graphene surface to prepare more functionalized grapheme derivatives. These two kinds of metal complexes recognize large aromatic compounds probably due to pi-pi interactions and cation-pi interactions. In particular, the triangular ligand and its complex were adsorbed on graphite surface as a model compound for graphene. This method using these metal complexes would open a new way to modify the surface of graphene.
