Outline of Final Research Achievements

Photoredox catalysis using transition metal polypyridyl complexes has provided useful synthetic methods, because reactive radical species can be generated effectively. Our group have succeeded in application of this method toward syntheses of nitrogen-containing compounds.
In this research project, we have envisaged this method is applicable to functionalization of nano carbons. Nano carbons are attractive motifs because of their unique propeties, therefore, introduction of amine moieties to these motifs is interesting. In fact, we have succeeded in the functionalization of fullerene and corannulene. We have also succeeded in carbon-carbon bond cleavage of dihydropyridines based on a similar method.
