金属多核錯体の固体物性化学に関する先駆的研究

Abstract

A metal complex may have flexible structure and electronic state which can be artificially modified and easily controlled. Such flexibilities can be useful tools for constructing functional moleclues. Since the discovery of metal-metal bonds in dinuclear metal complexes, multinuclear metal complexes have attracted intense research interests not only from syntheses but also chemical and physical properties. Such a complex shows more functions expected from just sum of components, one plus one can be more than 2. Our research has concerned with molecular magnetism of multinuclear complexes. In this article, chemistry of high spin molecules, quantum magnets, and switchable molecules is discussed.
