ABOUT
We aim to synthesize new molecules, explore the unknown properties of the molecules, and develop the functions that emerge when these molecules are assembled. We aim to develop "Full-Spectrum Chemistry" that can contribute widely to science and technology. We will thoroughly pursue the possibilities of our original organic molecules.
Our strategy is as follows:
- Precise molecular design using computational science
- Organic synthesis incorporating state-of-the-art reactions
- Development of novel skeletons utilizing the characteristics of heteroatoms
- Structural analysis and spectroscopic characterization using a variety of instruments
- Bottom-up synthesis of nanocarbon materials and substrate surface-assisted synthesis
- Orientation control of organic molecules and their application to organic electronic devices
