Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this work, we investigated the development of a new class of nanostructures, in which cations and anions are separately aggregated into an anomalous charge-separated state, by the effective use of ‘coordination molecular force’ that is defined as a sum of con-covalent interactions involved in a metal complex. As a result, we succeeded in the creation of unprecedented nanostructures, in which a number of cationic and anionic species are aggregated into remarkable cluster forms, by the introduction of functional groups that can form coordination bonding, hydrogen bonding, and CH-π interactions into a metal complex.
