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.

Tetsuya Sato, Professor

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.

Kentaro Teramura, Professor

The Catalytic Reaction Chemistry Lab (Teramura Lab) aims to reduce environmental impact and realize a circular society, guided by precise design at the molecular and nano levels based on a deep understanding of reaction mechanisms. The lab works on developing next-generation catalysts, electrocatalysts, and photocatalysts and on building catalytic chemical processes, following the principle of 'no applied research without an understanding of fundamental properties.'

Hiroshi Imahori, Professor

The Photoorganic Chemistry Lab (Imahori Lab) works on building artificial photosynthesis systems using organic materials, creating nanocarbon composite materials and elucidating their optical and electronic functions, and developing new π-conjugated compounds that make use of heteroatoms. The lab also studies the mechanisms of light-induced charge separation and develops dyes and materials for dye-sensitized solar cells and organic thin-film solar cells.

Norikazu Mizuochi, Professor

The Quantum Materials Science Lab (Mizuochi Lab) conducts research using diamond. Diamond contains defects called NV centers, each consisting of a vacancy (a missing carbon atom) paired with a nitrogen atom. Individual NV centers can be observed optically at room temperature, and their spins can be manipulated and read out at room temperature. They are therefore expected to find applications in ultrasensitive sensors, quantum information devices, and biomarkers.

Ryohei Ishige, Professor

The Molecular Rheology Lab (Ishige Lab) combines methods for controlling the higher-order structure of polymers by exploiting self-assembly, such as liquid crystals and microphase separation, with precise structural analysis methods, aiming to clarify the relationship between polymer structure and properties. The main targets are rigid-rod polymers, which have extremely high heat resistance and are expected to serve as high-performance film materials.

Hironori Kaji, Professor
0 student voices
The Organic Molecular Materials Lab (Kaji Lab) develops light-emitting materials for organic EL and organic semiconductor materials. The lab is also developing methods for investigating how materials work, such as analyzing molecular orientation in organic thin films by solid-state NMR and analyzing charge transport in organic thin films by multiscale calculations.
