Organoelement Chemistry

About us

By combining a wide variety of elements with organic synthesis techniques, our laboratory is pioneering completely new materials that have never existed before. The power of elements is so great that it is possible to realize structures, functions, and properties that could not be achieved in conventional organic chemistry, which is composed of a limited number of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.

Research

theme 1

Organic chemistry and molecular structure based on pnictogens

Group 15 elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth) are essential to various chemical reactions in nature, and we explore the properties of these elements.

theme 2

Functionalization of Polyhedral Oligomeric SilSesquioxanes

We are exploring the unique properties and functions of caged silsesquioxanes, which have a three-dimensional structure composed of silicon and oxygen.
