Diarylethene is a photochromic molecule, which is potentially applicable to various optoelectronic devices. In diarylethenes the pai-system of the two aryl rings is separated in the open-ring isomer, while the -system is delocalized throughout the molecule in the closed-ring isomer. Based on this idea the exchange interaction between two nitronyl nitroxide radicals connected by a diarylethene unit was photocontrolled reversibly along with photochromism. The switching efficiency is more than 150-fold. Magnetochemical and photochemical behavior of the radical-substituted diarylethene is described extensively.

NMR chemical shifts reflect the molecular structure. Hence, variation in local environment affects chemical shielding and the change in chemical shifts of nuclei provides valuable information about the relative arrangement of the nuclei with respect to the substituents. The chemical shift changes caused by the nearby substituents can thus be applicable to the conformational analysis. Here, the details of the conformational analysis of highly flexible compounds, the configurational assignment of chiral secondary alcohols, and the elucidation of the structures of supramolecular complexes in solution will be discussed.

The microscopic structures in binary liquid mixtures and in alkali metal chloride solutions were examined by analyzing the mass spectra of clusters isolated through fragmentation of liquid droplets. The cluster formation was controlled by not only the interaction energies but also their relative relationship. For the binary liquid mixtures, 1-pentanol (PeOH) was used as one component, and various organic liquid compounds were used as the other component. When the organic compounds interacting with PeOH more weakly coexist, the PeOH self-association was found to be remarkably promoted. The relative intensity of the PeOH-PeOH interaction against the PeOH–(the other component) interaction works as a key factor for the clustering. The same kind of relationship was true in the solvation for ions. The relative intensity of the ion-solvant interaction against the ion-counterion interaction works as a key factor for the solvation of ions.

The basic research on the generation and reactivity of short-lived intermediates, e.g. cations, anions, radicals, carbenes, etc., has greatly contributed to the construction of chemical reaction theories and the development of the synthetic reaction of functional materials. We have focused our interest on biradical chemistry. We found long-live singlet 1,3-diradicals. The ground state spin-multiplicity is controlled by the substituents at C2 position. The long-lived singlet diradicals was found to react intermolecularly with oxygen to produce an endoperoxide. In triplet biradical chemistry, the regio- and stereoselective formation of oxetanes were found in the Paternò-Büchi reaction.

Ladder-type pi-conjugated molecules bearing azaborine or thiaborin frameworks were synthesized, and the structures of some molecules were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The UV-vis absorption maxima of the ladder-type molecules were red-shifted in accordance with the molecular size, indicating the enhancement of pi-conjugation through the heteraborin units. The ladder-type molecules exhibited moderately strong fluorescence emission with small Stokes shifts, reflecting the rigid framework of these molecules. Theoretical calculations were carried out to elucidate the electronic effect on the electronic structure of the ladder molecules by the difference in bridging main group elements. Complex formation study with fluoride ion revealed that the nature of the bridging elements as well as the elongation of the pi-conjugation affect the Lewis acidity of the triarylborane moieties.

Porphyrin has a rigid skeleton and it is generally difficult to deform its planar structure. Confusion of one pyrrole ring causes drastic change in such situation. In N-confused porphyrin, energy barrier for rotation of the confused pyrrole ring is quite low relative to that in normal porphyrin and deformation of the macrocycle would occur more easily, which can afford a wide variety of molecular architectures. Here the rotation of pyrrole rings in porphyrins was investigated theoretically and porphyrin derivatives bearing unique structures were synthesized by utilizing pyrrole ring rotation.

Core-modified porphyrins are one of the porphyrin analogues, in which at least one core nitrogen atom is replaced by another atom. Although the chemistry of core-modified porphyrins has attracted much attention, phosphorous-containing porphyrins, namely "phosphaporphyrins", have not been prepared. Here we report the first synthesis of phosphaporphyrin and its aromaticity as well as optical and electrochemical properties. A phosphaporphyrin was synthesized via acid-promoted condensation of phosphatripyrrane with 2,5-bis[hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]thiophene. The NMR and UV-vis absorption spectra, and CV has revealed that the phosphaporphyrin possesses a considerable aromaticity and a relatively narrow HOMO-LUMO energy gap.

In organic medium, bis-prophyrins 1-4 connected by aromatic linkers self-assemble via subtle forces such as van der Waals, stacking, and CH/pai to form supramolecular dimers. The structures of bis-porphyrin dimer 1_1 were discussed using our chemical shift simulation, revealing that 1_1 mainly adopts the self-complementary structure. The binding studies of bis-porphyrin 1 with electron deficient aromatic guest 5 were carried out in chloroform. Soret and Q bands of 1 showed the characteristic changes when the addition of 5, and the large upfield shifts of its protons were observed in their complexation studies using 1H NMR spectroscopy. These results suggested that the electron deficient aromatic guests bound within the cleft of bis-porphyrin 1 via charge transfer as well as stacking interactions between the guests and the porphyrin rings. The addition of 5 into the solution of 1_1 resulted in the quick dissociation of the dimer and the formation of 1_5.

Oligoacetylene (OA) is one of the most simple expanded -electron system, which is expected to produce enhanced physical properties. However, the stability of OAs suddenly decreases with increasing of the numbers of acetylenes. The main reason for this instability is proposed to be due to the intermolecular bond-formation reactions. To avoid these reactions, the introduction of bulky substituents on the terminal carbons is useful. Using this guideline, we systematically designed, synthesized, and characterized the properties of porphyrin substituted OAs.

Stabilization of reaction intermediates is a characteristic property of enzymes, and widely regarded as an essential feature of catalytic activity. Reactive molecules can also be stabilized by encapsulation, a process that involves completely surrounding and isolating the reactive species within synthetic receptors. Here, we show that self-assembled capsules can amplify and stabilize molecules that are present in only trace concentrations in solution. Evidence is given that reversible chemical reactions take place within the capsule. Reversible encapsulation allows the direct observation of the stabilized molecules under ambient conditions, at equilibrium in the liquid phase. The system promises applications in amplification of high-energy species with reduced entropies.

Porphyrin and perinaphthothioindigo parts, conveying respectively the role of two photon absorption and molecular memory, were connected through an ethynyl linkage to extend fully the -electronic conjugation. Cis and trans pure isomers were isolated and found to be stable at room temperature under dark. Irradiation of the trans isomer at wavelength longer than 680 nm induced trans to cis isomerization with a change of the absorption spectrum. On the other hand, the cis isomer was isomerized back to the trans by irradiating at 500 nm. Two photon absorption characteristics will also be discussed.

Thiacalix[4]arenes (1), in which methylene bridges of calix[4]arenes (2) are replaced with sulfides, have revealed themselves to be not a simple substitute for the "classical" 2 but a new molecular scaffold with intrinsic characteristic features originating from the bridging sulfur. One of the most note worthy features of 1 and its derivatives is their coordination ability toward metal ions to form not only mono- but also polynuclear metal complexes by virtue of the heterogeneous coordination site. It implies us to design polynuclear metal complexes of thiacalix[4]arenes, which should be suitable for metal catalysts. Herein we report the synthesis and catalytic applications of dinuclear titanium(IV) complexes of 1 and stereocontrolled synthesis of dinuclear borane complexes of 3.

Cinchona alkaloids were mixed with metal salts, respectively, and recrystalixed, affording three single crystals of quinidine and dihydroquinidine with Cu(II) and quinine with Zn(II) suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis. As a result of analysis, copper(II) complexes show a dinuclear copper center with double oxygen brides, while zinc(II) complex shows mononuclear metal center to which two molecules of quinine coordinate as ligands. Moreover, to understand the construction processes of the crystal structures, we performed the hierarchical analysis we proposed before.

The self-assembly of triangular hexadehydrotribenzo[12]annulene (DBA) derivatives has been scrutinized by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at the liquid - solid interface. The effect of solvent on the structure of the nonpolar DBA networks was investigated in four different solvents: 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) as a polar aromatic solvent, 1-phenyloctane as a solvent having both aromatic and aliphatic moieties, n-tetradecane as an aliphatic solvent, and octanoic acid as a polar alkylated solvent. A solvent dramatically changes the structure of the DBA networks. In TCB and tetradecane, honeycomb structures with large voids were formed. The trimer structure was found in octanoic acid. In phenyloctane, triangular DBA forms a zigzag network with co-adsorbed phenyloctane. The solvent effects are discussed in terms of factors that influence the mobility of molecules at the liquid - solid interface such as solvation.

The structure of another type of cyclic tetramer with two diacetylene linkers was constructed by a combination of coupling reactions. This compound underwent spontaneous resolution to give enantiopure samples upon crystallization. The cyclic trimers with diacetylene and acetylene linkers have strained structures as revealed by X-ray analysis and DFT calculation. Molecular design toward chiral structures with the trimeric structures is proposed.

Combined experimental and computational studies were performed to obtain the mechanistic information on the selective formation of methylenecyclobutanes in the thermal denitrogenation of 3-carbomethoxy-substituted 4-spirocyclopropane-1-pyrazolines. An unprecedented mechanism involving a [2+2+2] cycloreversion denitrogenation is proposed, which is proved by the stereospecific formation methylenecyclobutanes and by trajectory calculations. The notable effect of carbomethoxy substituent on the reaction mechanism is rationalized by a hyperconjugative interaction in the transition state in the denitrogenation step.

Direct one-step hydrogen transfer occurs from an NADH analog, 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrH
2) to the triplet excited state of 3,6-diphenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine without formation of the radical cation. On the other hand, hydrogen transfer from 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH) to the triplet excited state of Ph2Tz occurs via sequential electron and proton transfer processes, when both the radical cation of BNAH and deprotonated radical are detected by the laser flash photolysis measurements. Mechanistic borderline between one-step and multistep proton-coupled electron-transfer reaction pathways in hydride-transfer reactions of NADH analogs were also examined in scandium ion (Sc
3+)-promoted hydride transfer from AcrH
2 to 1-(p-tolylsulfinyl)-2,5-benzoquinone (TolSQ).

In order to clarify the origin of the alfa-effect in SN2 reactions at saturated carbon centers, 28 gas-phase reactions have been examined computationally by using the high level G2(+) method. The reactions include: Nu- + CH3X -> CH3Nu + X- [X = F and Cl; Nu- = HO-, HS-, CH3O-, Cl-, Br-, HOO-, HSO-, FO-, ClO-, BrO-, NH2O-, and HC(=O)OO-]. It was found that all alfa-nucleophiles examined exhibit downward deviations from the correlation line between the overall barriers and proton affinities for normal nucleophiles, indicating the existence of the alfa-effect in the gas phase. The transition state (TS) for the alfa-nucleophiles are characterized by less advanced C-X bond cleavages than the normal nucleophiles, leading to smaller deformation energies and overall barriers. The size of the alfa-effect is related to the electron density on the alfa-atom, and increases when the position of alfa-atom is changed from left to right and from bottom to top in the periodic table.

Richard et al have determined the lifetime of ring-substituted 1-phenylethyl cations in 50/50 water/trifluoroethanol (
I = 0.5, NaClO
4) by use of azid clock, and discussed the mechanistic transition from S
N1 to S
N2 based on the lifetime of these cations. The 1-phenylethyl cation having nitro group has very short lifetime. We are interested in the existence of such an unstable carbocation. Then, we have discussed the solvolysis mechanism of 1-phenylethyl tosylates having electron-withdrawing substituents based on
-18O-scrambling of starting tosylate during solvolysis.

Ab initio MO calculations were carried out, at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p)//MP2/6-311G(d,p) level, to investigate the conformational Gibbs energy of 2-substituted oxanes and 1,3-dioxanes (Z = OCH3, F, Cl, Br). It has been found that the Gibbs energy of axial conformers is smaller than that of corresponding equatorial conformers in every case. In the axial conformers, the interatomic distance between Z and an axial C-H separated by four covalent bonds has been found appreciably shorter than the van der Waals distance, suggesting the importance of 5-member CH/n hydrogen bonds. NBO charges of the relevant protons and carbons have been shown noticeably different. In view of these findings, the CH/n hydrogen bonding has been suggested to play an important part in stabilizing the axial conformers; this may be a cause of the anomeric effect.

The electronic absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectra of a blue flower pigment of Commelina Communis, commelinin, have been studied theoretically in order to understand the origin of the blue color. The UV-visible absorption and CD spectra of the anthocyanin units in commelinin were calculated on the basis of the exciton coupling theory. The calculated spectra reproduced split absorption bands and intense CD couplets observed within commelinin. The red shifted absorption band observed at 645 nm in aqueous solution of commelinin can be attributed to the electronic excitation from the ground state to the exciton state, which is polarized to the D3 axis. These spectral properties were also supported by time-dependent density functional theory (DFT).
