Research Project Outline
Synthesis of hoop-shaped π-conjugated molecules as exemplified in cycloparaphenylenes, which possess simplest structural unit of arm-chair carbon nanotube, will be investigated through the supramolecular chemical approach. Applications of these molecules to organoelectronic device materials and elucidation of their functions by forming higher-order structures will be also studied. We will develop the science and technology of hoop-shaped π-conjugated molecules through this study.
