(Kyosei 16) Molecular Structure Analysis Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab makes molecules and confirms their structures with large-scale analytical instruments.

AboutAbout the lab
Making (synthesis) and seeing (instrumental analysis).
The Molecular Structure Analysis Chemistry Lab combines organic chemistry-based molecular design and synthesis with precise structural analysis.
The lab began in the 2012 academic year as a lab housed within Chiba University's Center for Analytical Instrumentation.
Using small organic molecules with distinctive structures as building blocks, the lab aims to create assemblies with chirality or porosity through non-covalent bonds.
The properties of the resulting assemblies are investigated through multifaceted instrumental analysis.
Key terms
- Non-covalent bond
- Not a strong bond joining atoms together, but a weak force of attraction between molecules
- Chirality
- The property of an object that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image, like a right hand and a left hand
- Porosity
- The property of a material having many tiny gaps inside through which molecules can enter and exit
ResearchResearch themes
The lab combines molecular design and synthesis based on organic chemistry with precise structural analysis using the large analytical instruments of the Center for Analytical Instrumentation. It aims to develop new functional molecules and to elucidate physicochemical phenomena.
