Outline of Final Research Achievements

Porphyrin related compounds have been studied actively owing to their potential ripple effect on materials science, coordination chemistry, physical organic chemistry and so on. In this research, a variety of norrole derivatives were synthesized and analyzed, which gave a new insight into norrole.
Norrole has a relatively flexible molecular skeleton despite its pi-conjugated system spreading over the whole molecule. Norrole derivatives with a variety of structures were synthesized through chemical functionalization inside the macrocycles. They still keep similar fundamental photophysical properties to the intact norrole. Thus electronic states of norrole would be less influenced by structural factors. Additionally, iridium metalation gave the stable iridium(III) complex showing near-infrared emission.
