Structural Organic Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that synthesizes molecules with organic π-electron systems and studies their structures and properties.
AboutAbout the lab
Making organic π-electron molecules and studying their structures and properties.
The Structural Organic Chemistry Lab synthesizes organic π-electron compounds of structural, theoretical, and physical interest, and aims to clarify the relationship between their structures and their properties and functions.
Its research targets extend beyond molecules to supramolecules, molecular assemblies, and metal complexes.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Tani-Goto Lab."
The website encourages people interested in the research or wishing to visit the lab to get in touch freely.
Key terms
- π-electron system
- The part of a molecule where electrons can move over a wide range. It underlies properties such as absorbing light and conducting electricity.
- Azulene
- A cyclic organic molecule that is a structural isomer of naphthalene: it has the same atomic composition but a different way of connecting the atoms.
- Helicene
- A molecule in which aromatic rings are joined in a helical structure.
- Fullerene
- A molecule in which carbon atoms are gathered into a spherical shape.
ResearchResearch themes
Building on the chemistry of organic π-electron compounds, the lab investigates the structures and physical properties of molecules, supramolecules, molecular assemblies, and self-assembled systems, aiming to bring about new phenomena, elucidate their principles, and create new functional materials. Using methods that design, synthesize, and evaluate the properties of molecules, together with methods that control how molecules are arranged, it aims to produce molecules and assemblies that are interesting structurally, theoretically, and physically.
*Illustrative imageSynthesis of fused π-electron compounds
The lab fuses various aromatic rings to synthesize new organic compounds with unusual π-electron systems. Azulene-fused tetracene diimide absorbs light in the near-infrared region, and an azulene-containing helicene gives a cation radical that remains stable in air even after one electron is removed.
*Illustrative imageAssemblies of porphyrins and fullerenes
The lab builds tube-shaped assemblies made of porphyrins and studies lining up fullerenes in a straight line inside them. In crystals, the fullerenes are arranged in a highly ordered way, and photoinduced electron transfer from porphyrin to fullerene has also been observed.
