The Catalyst Design Engineering Lab aims to contribute, from the standpoint of materials science, to future energy conversion technologies and environmental problems. Many of the materials it handles are inorganic compounds and ceramics, which it combines or composites with metals and polymer materials to build devices such as fuel cells and catalysts for hydrogen production.
Tetsuo Sakka, Professor

The research introduction of the Functional Materials Chemistry Lab (Sakka Lab) lists four topics: structure formation by solid fine particles at interfaces, in situ elemental analysis in water using laser plasma emission spectra, the structure and dynamics of ionic liquid interfaces, and measurement theory for liquid structure. Focusing on solid–liquid and liquid–liquid interfaces, the lab combines laser spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements with molecular simulation and integral equation theory.

The Fundamental Hydrocarbon Chemistry Lab works on methods for synthesizing heterocyclic compounds using transition metal complexes as catalysts, and on creating complexes with bent alkyne ligands. The lab also develops functional molecules for medicine, including molecular machines that deliver drugs only to cells exposed to light, molecular probes that track enzyme activity and pH changes inside cells, and contrast agents for cancer.
Teruyuki Kondo, Professor

The Advanced Biomedical Engineering Lab (Kondo Lab) designs and synthesizes molecular probes that combine the ability to accumulate at specific disease sites such as cancer with the ability to generate the signals needed for imaging, in order to enable early detection of disease and improve diagnostic accuracy. The lab carries out the full research sequence, through to evaluating function and efficacy in cell and animal experiments, and also works on organometallic chemistry centered on ruthenium complex catalysts.

The Catalytic Organic Chemistry Lab (Fujihara Lab) uses transition metal complex catalysts to develop a variety of organic synthesis reactions that use carbon dioxide as a carbon source. The lab also aims to pioneer new catalytic reactions that form the basis of chemical transformation and the development of new materials, to develop catalytic reactions with higher efficiency and selectivity than existing reactions, and to improve catalyst function by modifying the periphery of ligands.

The Organic Molecular Transformation Lab (Nakamura Lab) develops efficient and sustainable synthetic reactions under the keyword "advanced utilization of underused chemical resources." Using metal elements that are abundant in the Earth's crust and found everywhere on the planet as catalysts, the lab synthesizes useful, highly functional molecules through practical synthetic reactions with a low environmental impact.
Yasujiro Murata, Professor

The Structural Organic Chemistry Lab (Murata Lab) designs and synthesizes molecules whose structures are expected to yield new properties, closely investigates their structures and properties, and feeds theoretical interpretations back into the design of new molecules. Through this research cycle, the lab creates materials with properties never seen before. Targeting molecules with new π-conjugated structures, the lab develops functional organic materials from the perspectives of structural organic chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and main-group element chemistry.

The Isotope Utilization Chemistry research group belongs to the Division of Particle Beam Fundamental Properties at the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science. The lab studies the chemical properties of the elements at the end of the actinide series and of the transactinide elements beyond them.
Aiko Fukazawa, Professor

The Organic Functional Chemistry Lab (Fukazawa Lab) aims to create organic materials with excellent optical and electronic functions, and conducts comprehensive research from molecular design to the development of synthetic methods and the elucidation of physical properties. The lab designs and synthesizes, from its own original ideas, new π-conjugated molecules with unusual structures and modes of electronic conjugation. It then feeds their properties and functions back into the rational molecular design of photofunctional materials, aiming to advance fundamental organic chemistry and materials science.
Hirofumi Sato, Professor

The Quantum Theoretical Chemistry Lab develops and extends its own highly general molecular theories, aiming to establish a universal understanding of processes and chemical phenomena involving molecules. Even if individual molecules can be understood through quantum chemistry, collective properties emerge when countless molecules come together. With a comprehensive perspective that takes the hierarchical structure of nature into view, the lab works to understand chemical phenomena.
