Outline of Final Research Achievements

One-dimensional metal chain complexes have attracted much attention because of their potential applications in molecular materials stemming from the low-dimensional structures. Recently, several reliable methods to construct one-dimensional metal chain structure has developed, but current synthetic methods still suffer from the low efficiency in construction of long metal chain structures. In this project, we successfully developed a new methodology to construct a metal chain compounds. By using the oxidation-metalation sequence, we synthesized the heptanuclear metal clusters from the tetranuclear metal clusters.
