Imahori Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An organic synthesis lab developing molecular catalysts that switch their reactions in response to external stimuli.
AboutAbout the lab
Controlling chemical reactions by building molecular machines.
The Imahori Lab develops molecular machines (molecular catalysts) that control chemical reactions by changing the reaction environment in response to external stimuli.
Stimuli such as light, heat, concentration, and ions dynamically change the reaction space and switch the catalyst's function.
The lab aims to realize environmentally friendly chemical transformations that reduce waste and make effective use of resources.
It is also extending this work to organic synthesis in a variety of fields, such as pharmaceuticals and materials.
Key terms
- Molecular catalyst
- A molecule that promotes a reaction. This lab develops molecular catalysts whose function changes in response to external stimuli.
- Stimuli-responsive catalyst
- A catalyst whose reaction space changes, and whose reactivity switches, in response to external stimuli such as light, heat, concentration, and ions.
- One-pot multistep organic synthesis
- A synthesis method in which multiple reactions proceed in sequence within a single reaction system.
ResearchResearch themes
Chemical reactions proceed within a reaction space assembled by molecules. The lab develops molecular machines that freely change that space with external stimuli to control reactions, and aims to realize environmentally friendly chemical transformations.
