| Current Research | The world of molecules is full of beautiful and attractive structures, as represented by soccer ball-shaped fullerenes and double-helical DNA. On the other hand, there are many cases in which such beautiful molecules exhibit unexpected and surprising functions, and I believe the phrase "function in beauty” in the field of chemistry. Our goal is to design and synthesize such "attractive" molecules by ourselves. Our current research focuses on ?-conjugated molecules which exhibit functions based on their molecular structure and electronic properties. We are working on the creation of ?-conjugated molecules with unexplored structural motifs in order to elicit their unique functions. | |
