Yamaguchi Lab

AboutAbout the lab

Designing and making molecules that emit light

The Yamaguchi Lab focuses on creating functional π-electron system molecules with unusual optical and electronic properties.
In the fields of organic element chemistry and physical organic chemistry, Prof. Yamaguchi works both on designing molecules that take advantage of the characteristics of main-group elements and on developing new synthetic methods.
A representative example of the molecules Prof. Yamaguchi has created is a compound that has been put to practical use in organic EL displays.
At ITbM, Prof. Yamaguchi collaborates with other researchers, mainly on developing innovative bioimaging molecules.

Creating Functional π-Electron System Molecules↗

The lab creates functional π-electron system molecules with unusual optical and electronic properties, both by proposing guidelines for molecular design that take advantage of the characteristics of main-group elements and by developing new synthetic methods.
