Hideaki Takano was born in 1992 in Saitama, Japan. He received his BS (2015) and MS (2017) from Waseda University. Supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Overseas Challenge Program for Young Researchers, he joined the group of Dr. Robert. J. Phipps at University of Cambridge as a visiting student. His current research focuses on C-C bond activation reaction by transition metal catalysts for his PhD. degree in the group of Prof. Shibata with a Research Fellowship for Young Scientists (DC2) by JSPS.

N2 - Biphenylene is an antiaromatic compound that has a strained butadiene skeleton that joins two benzene rings. Various methods for synthesizing the biphenylene core have been developed. In addition, the reactivity of biphenylene has attracted much attention because C–C bonds of biphenylene can be cleaved by various organometallic species. Furthermore, the biphenylene motif not only acts as a spacer in a variety of functional molecules, but also serves as a backbone for catalysts and ligands. This minireview summarizes how to construct the biphenylene structure, how to react biphenylene, and how to use the biphenylene skeleton in functional materials.
