POLYMERIZABLE SPHERICAL TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES, SPHERICAL TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES, AND PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BOTH

摘要

[PROBLEMS] To provide a polymerizable spherical transition metal complex which has a hollow shell structure composed of transition metal atoms and bidentate organic ligands having substituents having polymerizable groups at the end, wherein the substituents are arrayed in the interior of the shell; a spherical transition metal complex as described above wherein the polymerizable groups are polymerized in the interior of the shell; and processes for the production of both. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A polymerizable spherical transition metal complex having a hollow shell structure, characterized in that the shell is composed of a transition metal atoms (wherein a is an integer of 6 to 60) and 2a bidentate organic ligands having substituents each having one or more polymerizable groups at the end and that the substituents are arrayed in the interior of the shell; a spherical transition metal complex as described above wherein the polymerizable groups are polymerized in the interior of the shell; and processes for the production of both.
