Abstract

It is well known that metal clusters are in possession of both solution dispersibility and high functionality, and that their functions can be controlled by molecular design. Therefore, they are drawing attention as advanced materials that can replace the bulk inorganic materials. However, refined synthesis of metal clusters that contain multiple metal centers is generally not an easy process. This constitutes the bottleneck in the development of the relevant research area.

This symposium invites researchers who handle metal clusters in a way of coordination chemistry, setting their targets at catalysts, liquid crystals, models of active site of metalloenzymes, conductive materials, and molecular inorganic materials. They will lecture on the results of frontline research, hot topics of their respective research areas, and unexplored synthetic targets. The symposium focuses on the synthetic methodology of metal clusters defined by complicated structure and functions. It aims to provide an opportunity to inspire students and young researchers on the frontline of the synthesis of coordination materials.
