Research Project

Electrochemical anisotropic transformation of redox-active molecular assemblies

Co-Investigator

Akinobu Nakada (Assistant Professor, Department of Applied Chemistry, Chuo University)

Abstract

This project aims to synthesize chiral molecular assemblies with well-defined electrochemical activity towards the dynamic control of chiral structures and their functionality by means of electrochemical methods.  In particular, we will try to make molecular crystal, liquid crystal, and liquid composed of new redox-active modules with octahedral-, tetrahedral-, and helical structures.  The induction of redox processes on such molecular assemblies would afford dynamic transformation of not only supramolecular chirality but also assembled properties derived from their anisotropic arrangements.  The present targets would therefore provide new opportunity to realize ON/OFF, propagation, amplification, and memory function based on tunable molecular chirality.
