Outline of Final Research Achievements

The acronym "MFMS" represents the molecular design concept of "maximum function on the minimum skeleton", which has been increasing in importance, especially for the design of advanced response systems. When a modular design is applied to multi-output-multi-input response systems, the multiple functional moieties have to be connected, resulting in a larger molecular size.
On the other hand, under the "MFMS" concept, the potential functions of molecules are educed by slight structural modification of a preexisting moiety to add another functionality. The "MFMS" is an atom-economical approach for the future development of highly functional materials. In this study, two kinds of multi-output molecular response systems were developed based on our electrochromic dyrex (dynamic redox) system.
