Synthesis of Optically Active Oxymethylenehelicene Oligomers and Self-assembly Phenomena at a Liquid Solid Interface

In this book, the author demonstrates that double-helix formation and fibril film formation occur on solid surfaces as a result of the catalytic effect of the liquidsolid interface of the newly synthesized helicene oligomer. In addition, he shows that the double helix produced at the liquidsolid interface can be diffused into a solution to form a self-assembling material by means of mechanical stirring. Both types of formation are new chemical phenomena unique to liquidsolid interfaces not found in solutions.
Detailed results are provided for new chemical reactions at liquidsolid interfaces, and gleaned from experiments performed using synthetic organic molecules. The book offers a useful reference guide to elucidating reaction mechanisms for researchers whose work involves chemical phenomena at a liquidsolid interface.

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by Tohoku University Highlights new chemical phenomena unique to liquidsolid interfaces Shares detailed information on various experimental operations and results for chemical reactions at liquidsolid interfaces
