Outline of Final Research Achievements

Curved-π conjugated molecules have attracted considerable intersts for the potential application to novel molecular devices based on the unique properties originating from the curved-π surface. In this project, we have achieved novel kinds of curved-π molecules with brilliant functions under mild reaction conditions, which are originated in conventional aniline and phenol oxidations. Accordingly, we have succeeded in the synthesis of highly twisted porphyrin oligomers with the largest twisting angle reported before. In addition, we disclosed the high chiral emissive feature of π-extended helicenes based on anthracenes. Finally, we have accomplished the synthesis of nitrogen-embedded buckybowl, which has been impossible to be synthesized under conventional conditions.
