Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project intended development of new functional materials by expanding multinuclear metal systems which are designed in fine tunable fashion as metal chains, rings, and cages, etc. with an aid of systematically synthesized linear polyphosphine ligands. In particular, rigid-rod platinum and palladium wires (Pt6, Pd8), flexible gold and silver chains (Au4, Au6, Ag6), gold-silver-copper rings (Au4Ag2Cu2), and multinuclear copper hydride complexes (Cu2, Cu4, Cu8, Cu9, Cu16) were synthesized and characterized, and their properties and reactivity as well as expansion by using metal and organic linkers were examined.
