Tadokoro Lab

AboutAbout the lab

Using hydrogen bonds to build functional molecular assemblies.

The Tadokoro Lab studies "functional synthetic chemistry," which uses hydrogen bonds that link molecules together to build useful molecular assemblies.
The lab controls self-assembly, the "force of spontaneous gathering" at work when crystals and similar structures form, to build molecules up.
The lab also works on mimicking the proton and electron transfer functions of living organisms, synthesizing electrically conductive complexes, and studying the structures of water clusters that conduct electricity easily.
Lab visits are accepted at any time.

ResearchResearch themes

The Tadokoro Lab builds useful molecular assemblies by gathering molecules with weak forces such as hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds. The lab mimics the proton and electron transfer functions of living organisms, synthesizes electrically conductive complexes, and studies which structures of water clusters conduct electricity easily.

The lab gathers molecules using weak forces such as hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds, mimicking the proton and electron transfer functions of living organisms and synthesizing electrically conductive complexes. It also investigates which structures of water clusters conduct electricity easily.
