Outline of Final Research Achievements

Immobilized multinuclear metal complex catalysts are successfully developed by using the nanospaces of structurally-ordered materials, such as inorganic layered silicate and polyamine dendrimer. The regularly-arranged coordination sites of these nanospaces play important roles to synthesize multinuclear metal species and retain the structures during the catalytic reactions, which enables selective molecular transformations including aerobic regioselective coupling reaction of phenols and chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds.
