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
