Ishida Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that synthesizes and studies organic-based and molecule-based magnetic materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Making and studying magnets built from molecules.
The Ishida Lab studies organic-based magnetic materials and magnetic materials whose building blocks are molecules.
The lab synthesizes compounds in which magnetic switching is expected to accompany structural changes.
One type of molecule-based magnet is the single-molecule magnet, in which a single molecule behaves as a magnet.
The lab also develops spin-crossover complexes, organic conducting magnetic materials, and magnetically detected ion-analysis reagents.
Key terms
- Single-molecule magnet
- A single molecule that behaves as a magnet. It is expected to improve storage density compared with conventional magnetic materials.
- Spin-crossover complex
- A complex that can reversibly switch between spin states.
- Switching
- The change in magnetism that accompanies a change in structure.

ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies organic-based magnetic materials and magnetic materials whose building blocks are molecules. It focuses on changes in magnetism that accompany structural changes, and on the property of a single molecule behaving as a magnet.
*Illustrative imageMagnetic Materials Made from Organic Compounds
Organic-based magnetic materials offer freedom in structure and combination and respond easily to external stimuli, and they are expected to serve as "sustainable magnetic materials" to replace inorganic materials based on metals. MeBPBN, synthesized in the lab, is one example of a compound whose structure changes with temperature and in which magnetic switching is expected.
*Illustrative imageMagnetic Materials with Molecules as Their Units
Magnetic materials whose building blocks are molecules are characterized by low dimensionality and low symmetry, and they are expected to be next-generation materials because combining organic and inorganic components can yield a wide variety of dimensions and symmetries. Single-molecule magnets are expected to improve storage density compared with conventional magnetic materials, and the lab also develops spin-crossover complexes, organic conducting magnetic materials, and magnetically detected ion-analysis reagents.
