Outline of Final Research Achievements

To create pi-conjugated anthracene compounds with novel cyclic structures, cyclic oligomers having acetylene or vinylene linkers were studied.
For compounds with rigid cyclic structures, anthracene cyclic dimers with inside alkyl groups were synthesized to evaluate the flexibility of the alkyl groups and the molecular strain. For vinylene-bridged compounds, anthracene cyclic dimers to tetramers were synthesized by repeated cross couplings. For face-to-face type macrocyclic compounds, structures of macrocyclic compounds with diacetylene linkers were investigated. Features of this anthracene-based molecular design are revealed from the relation between molecular structures of properties of the above cyclic compounds.
