Endo Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An organic chemistry lab that creates molecules and investigates their reactions and properties.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to create new standards of value
The Endo Lab uses synthetic organic chemistry to make molecules and investigates their reactions, catalysis, and physical properties.
As its research direction, the lab aims to create new standards of value.
The lab works on polynuclear metal complex catalysts, properties that arise when molecules assemble, the design of molecular orbitals, and the development of reactions using light.
Key terms
- Synthetic organic chemistry
- A field that makes target molecules using chemical reactions. This lab investigates the reactions and properties of the molecules it makes.
- Polynuclear metal complex catalyst
- A complex containing several metal atoms, used as a catalyst to drive reactions.
- Molecular aggregate
- An assembly formed by molecules gathering together. New properties emerge from this assembly.
- Molecular orbital
- An orbital occupied by electrons in a molecule. The lab aims for new reactivity and functions by designing the interactions between them.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab synthesizes molecules using synthetic organic chemistry and investigates their reactions, catalysis, and physical properties. Aiming to create new standards of value, it advances its research from the directions of catalysts, molecular assembly, molecular orbitals, and photoreactions.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of Polynuclear Metal Complex Catalysts
The lab develops reactions catalyzed by complexes containing several metal atoms. This research has continued for more than 10 years and is still being pursued.
*Illustrative imageProperties of Molecular Aggregates
The lab develops new properties that emerge when molecules gather, as well as methods for constructing such aggregates. The work is divided into areas such as the development of compounds with unique optical properties and of porous materials.
*Illustrative imageDesign of Molecular Orbital Interactions
The lab designs molecular orbitals to bring about new reactivity and functions. This theme is also related to the research on polynuclear metal complex catalysts and molecular aggregates.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of Reactions Using Light
This theme is led by the assistant professor. The lab develops reactions that use intermediates generated by irradiation with light.
