Iwamatsu Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that makes organic compounds while reducing wasted resources and effort.

AboutAbout the lab
Sustainable manufacturing, starting from chemistry
The Iwamatsu Lab studies synthetic organic chemistry and the chemistry of carbon-based materials, aiming at sustainable manufacturing.
Aiming to make organic chemicals with less environmental burden and less effort, the lab repeats experiments that gradually reduce the wasted resources and cumbersomeness of organic synthesis.
The lab also develops efficient methods for making poorly soluble heterocyclic compounds and applies them to environmental problems, and works on the chemical modification of nanocarbon materials such as fullerenes.
Key terms
- Organic synthesis
- Making organic compounds, which have a carbon backbone, into target structures by combining chemical reactions
- Heterocyclic compound
- A compound that contains atoms other than carbon, such as nitrogen or sulfur, in its ring structure
- Fullerene
- A molecule in which carbon atoms are joined in a spherical shape like a soccer ball
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to develop technologies for resource use and chemical transformation for a sustainable urban society, the lab studies methods of making organic chemicals with less environmental burden and effort. Its work includes efficient synthesis of poorly soluble heterocyclic compounds, chemical transformation and exploration of functions of nanocarbon materials such as fullerenes, and dehydrogenation catalysts immobilized as solids.
