Summary:Ion-pairing assemblies consisting of appropriately designed charged π-electronic species afford various functional supramolecular assemblies, including crystals and soft materials; they are formed by the anisotropic arrangement of charged π-electronic species through electrostatic and other weak noncovalent interactions. The design, synthesis and combination of charged π-electronic species (ion-pair formation) are crucial for the preparation of functional dimension-controlled assemblies. This article includes the prologue and progress of ion-pairing assemblies comprising π-electronic ions. Synthesis of π-electronic ions, preparation of ion pairs, fabrication of assemblies as crystals, gels and liquid crystals and their characteristic properties are summarized. The prologue and progress of π-electronic ion-pairing assemblies, including synthesis of π-electronic ions, preparation of ion pairs, fabrication of assemblies as crystals, gels and liquid crystals and their characteristic properties, are summarized.
Bibliography:Kazuki Urakawa received his Ph.D. degree in 2018 from Kumamoto University, under the guidance of Prof. Hayato Ishikawa, focusing on the synthesis of π-conjugated systems. He was selected as a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in 2017-2018. After working in Adeka Corporation as a researcher for half a year, he joined the group of Prof. Hiromitsu Maeda as a postdoctoral fellow in October 2018 and will start an academic career as an assistant professor in April 2020.
Hiromitsu Maeda received his Ph.D. degree in 2004 from Kyoto University, under the guidance of Prof. Hiroyuki Furuta (Kyushu University) and Prof. Atsuhiro Osuka, after spending three months in the Sessler group, the University of Texas at Austin, in 2001. In 2004, he started an academic career in the Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Ritsumeikan University. In 2008, he was transferred to the College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, wherein he was promoted to a professor in 2014. In 2016, he moved to the Department of Applied Chemistry, College of Life Sciences. He has been awarded several prizes, including ChemComm Emerging Investigator Lectureship (2012) and Fellow of the RSC (2015).
Yohei Haketa received his Ph.D. degree in 2011 from Ritsumeikan University, under the guidance of Prof. Hiromitsu Maeda, focusing on the assemblies of π-conjugated anion receptors. He was selected as a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in 2009-2012. After working in Asahi Kasei Corporation as a researcher (2012-2015), he joined the group of Prof. Hiromitsu Maeda at Ritsumeikan University as a postdoctoral fellow in 2015 and started an academic career as an assistant professor in 2017, and, in 2019, he became a lecturer.
