Outline of Final Research Achievements

The elaborate design of the molecular structures of late transition-metal catalysts may give desired catalytic functions. In this project, we focused on the development of the structural principle of "metallocenoid" structures for late-transition metal catalysts. We found that tri- or tetranuclear metallocenoid clusters are obtained by using unsaturated carbocycle binders such as benzene, cyclooctatetraene, or naphthalene. Furthermore, we also revealed the formation of half-sandwich type trinuclear sandwich structures from the metallocenoid clusters.
