Coordination Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A coordination chemistry lab exploring the functions and properties created by multiple metal ions.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the functions and properties that arise from organizing metal ions
The Coordination Chemistry Lab studies polynuclear metal complexes, focusing on the functions and properties that emerge when multiple metal ions organize together.
Research subjects include the relationship between metal–metal interactions and chemical reactivity, molecular photodevices capable of generating hydrogen using light, and molecular catalysts that produce oxygen and reduce carbon dioxide.
Aiming to develop practical functional metal complexes, the lab carries out the synthesis, structural analysis, and functional evaluation of new polynuclear complexes.
Key terms
- polynuclear metal complex
- A complex that has multiple metal ions within a single molecule.
- molecular catalyst
- A catalyst in which a molecule of defined structure itself acts as the catalyst.
- molecular photoelectrochemical cell
- A device that uses molecules as components and triggers electrochemical reactions when illuminated.
ResearchResearch themes
In metalloenzymes that carry out chemical conversion of substances in living organisms, polynuclear metal complexes often play important roles. This lab focuses on the functions and properties that multiple metal ions bring about, and aims to develop practical functional metal complexes.
