Abstract: The present invention provides a light-emitting organic platinum complex, a light-emitting material containing this complex, and a functional device containing this complex. The light-emitting organic platinum complex is represented by any one of the following structural formulae: where: Z represents either —(CH2)n— or —CH2(CH2OCH2)mCH2—, where n represents 7 to 14, and m represents 3 to 4; A represents either an optionally condensed aromatic hydrocarbon ring or an optionally condensed heteroaromatic ring; R is a substituent group for A and represents H (unless n of Z in the structural formula (1) is 7 to 13), a halogen, a C1-C6 alkyl group, a C1-C6 alkenyl group, a C1-C6 alkynyl group, a C1-C6 alkoxy group or the like.

Abstract: Polyamides are prepared from a carbonitrile and an amine by reacting by heating a mixture of a carbonitrile which is a dinitrile, an equivalent amount of a primary or secondary amine which is a diamine, and at least a stoichiometric amount of water in the presence of an effective amount of a catalyst. The catalyst is a complex containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, rhodium and molybdenum, and at least one group selected from the group consisting of hydride, phosphine, carbonyl, ammonia, and hydroxyl.

Abstract: Amide compounds are efficiently prepared directly from nitriles, amines and water, using a reaction catalyst. The invention also can applied to the manufacture of polyamides, thereby realizing a simplified and rationalized process for polyamide synthesis. The catalyst employable is at least one metallic compound selected from the group consisting of Ru- Rh-, Zn-, Ni-, Mo-, Cu-, Co-, Ti-, Cr-, Zr-, Os-, Rd-, Se-, Fe-, Pb-, Hg-, V-, Cd-, Ir- and Pt-compounds.
