| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We designed hexasila[6]circulene, which is composed of six annulated siloles of importance in the field of materials science, and hexathia[6]circulene, which has a bowl-shaped structure with six annulated thiophenes. According to theoretical calculations, they are predicted to have low-lying LUMOs and small HOMO-LUMO gaps, compared to those of trisilasumanenes that we have already reported, being envisioned to be useful building blocks for important functional molecules. We tried to prepare the designed molecules and succeeded in the synthesis of their promising precursors.
