Akitsu Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores how the structure and properties of metal complexes are connected.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the link between structure and properties in metal complexes
The Akitsu Lab studies the synthesis of metal complexes, organic-inorganic hybrid materials, metalloproteins, and related compounds, as well as their structure-property relationships.
The lab designs and synthesizes metal complexes built from metal ions and organic ligands, and investigates them using X-ray crystallography, measurements of physical properties, theoretical calculations, and other methods.
The lab also applies this work to solid-state physical properties, organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials, and bioinorganic chemistry.
Key terms
- Metal complex
- A compound formed when a metal ion is bonded to ligands such as organic molecules
- X-ray crystallography
- A method that shines X-rays on a crystal to determine how the atoms are arranged within a molecule
- Structure-property relationship
- The relationship between the structure of a molecule or solid and the properties it shows
ResearchResearch themes
The Akitsu Lab investigates the connection between structure and properties, focusing on functional metal complexes. It also applies this work to solid-state physical properties, organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials, and bioinorganic chemistry, aiming to bring out new properties and functions.
