Organic Chemistry II Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An organic chemistry lab that creates organic semiconductors starting from molecular synthesis.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating function through synthetic chemistry
Building on synthetic organic chemistry, the Organic Chemistry II Lab researches structural organic chemistry, organic functional materials, and organic semiconductor devices.
The lab's motto is "Creating function through synthetic chemistry."
Within the lab, researchers cover everything from synthesizing new molecules and studying their properties to fabricating thin films and transistors and evaluating the flow of electricity.
Established in 2017, the lab belongs to the Division of Interdisciplinary Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University.
Key terms
- Synthetic organic chemistry
- The field of chemistry that builds carbon-containing molecules into targeted structures by combining chemical reactions.
- Organic semiconductor
- A semiconductor material made of organic compounds with a carbon backbone.
- Transistor
- A device that switches an electric current on and off or amplifies it. It is a basic component of electronic circuits.

ResearchResearch themes
Building on synthetic organic chemistry, the lab creates molecules for new organic semiconductors and investigates their properties and how they function as semiconductors. Research themes include developing high-mobility organic semiconductors, controlling the crystal structure of organic semiconductors, developing near-infrared organic semiconductors, and creating n-type dopant materials.
