Outline of Final Research Achievements

Precise control of metal arrangement in nano-scale is essential to create new electronic structures based on the number, kind, and arrangement of metal ions. In this research, we have developed three types of new template ligands such as “atomic frames”, “synthetic molecules”, and “biomolecules” to flexibly arrange finite or infinite metal ions in lines or circles. Furthermore, we have also demonstrated that such metal array structures or metal complexes can be applied to several functions including catalytic reactions or the control of molecular motions.
