The Analytical Chemistry Lab develops separation and measurement methods based on new principles, with the aim of opening new frontiers in analytical chemistry. In living organisms and the environment, most molecules exist as aggregates or microparticles, and the major reactions take place at interfaces. The lab aims to develop microspectroscopy to study these interfacial reactions and methods that use electric and magnetic fields to separate microparticles one by one, and to establish methods for investigating the structure of chiral molecules.

The Radiochemistry Lab studies the chemistry of heavy elements such as the actinides, and the effect that the state of electrons has on the decay of atomic nuclei. To observe the peculiarities of electrons in heavy elements, the lab also carries out relativistic quantum chemical calculations. It also investigates the production of radioisotopes used in cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as the fundamental properties of the elements involved. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kasamatsu Lab."

The Inorganic Chemistry Lab aims to open up a new research field: molecular magnetic materials with diverse forms of spin. Compounds containing metal ions, such as metal complexes, can have unpaired electrons within the molecule, and these unpaired electrons carry magnetic moments that give rise to magnetism. Atomic nuclei also each have their own characteristic magnetic moment, and these interact with one another to create complex quantum states. By controlling these interactions, the lab aims to create compounds with new functions and properties.

The Bioinorganic Chemistry Lab (Funahashi Lab) aims to investigate the structures and properties of the active sites of metalloenzymes and to elucidate chemically the reactions that take place in living organisms. The research proceeds along two approaches, model synthesis using coordination chemistry and X-ray structure analysis and spectroscopic measurements of proteins, with the findings from each fed back to the other. Another goal is to create new complex molecules and reaction systems inspired by the structures and reactions of metalloenzymes. Lab visits are accepted at any time, whether you are from inside or outside the university.

The Coordination Chemistry Lab's main research themes are the synthesis of novel metal complexes, the determination of their structures, and the elucidation of their various physical properties. Using the "complex ligand method," which allows elaborate metal complexes to be assembled at will, the lab develops metal complex materials with beautiful structures and unique functions. The lab's research takes all elements of the periodic table into view. Coordination chemistry has a wide range of applications, including catalysts, liquid crystals, and pharmaceuticals, and the lab continues its research in the hope that its results will be put to use as an unsung hero behind them.

The Physical Chemistry of Condensed Matter Lab studies a wide range of properties of materials made up of assemblies of molecules (molecular materials) and searches for new properties. Researchers place materials at extremely low temperatures or apply strong magnetic fields, and examine how their properties change. Using calorimetry equipment that the lab built in-house for tiny single crystals, it works from a thermodynamic perspective to understand changes in properties such as superconductivity and ferromagnetism and to search for new phenomena. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Nakazawa Lab."

The Surface Chemistry Lab studies chemical reactions of molecules on solid surfaces and in devices with nanoscale metal electrodes. Combining analytical methods such as scanning probe microscopy and surface spectroscopy with device fabrication through microfabrication, the lab aims to discover new functions of molecules. Alongside investigating the fundamental reaction mechanisms and properties through which molecules perform their functions, the lab also works on applications to information processing, such as neural networks. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Akai Lab."

The Quantum Chemistry Lab is the only group among the chemistry labs that conducts research using theory and computation. Building on quantum theory, condensed matter physics, chemical reaction theory, and information theory, the lab theoretically elucidates chemical phenomena from the standpoint of electrons and molecules and interprets them by computer. Currently, through work such as nanocluster catalysts and the elucidation of life phenomena, it aims to propose new properties and materials in the mesoscopic regime. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Okumura Lab."

The Reaction Physical Chemistry Lab aims to build systems that work like the brain, using chemical reactions of single molecules or small numbers of molecules. The lab uses molecular self-assembly to build networks of molecules that process information like neurons, and studies their electrical properties. Electrical conduction and charge movement in molecules are examined at the nanoscale with instruments such as scanning probe microscopes and electrostatic force microscopes. The lab's website introduces it under the name "Matsumoto Lab."

The Adsorption Chemistry Lab aims to clarify, at the molecular level, how molecules behave when they are confined in tiny spaces. As a space becomes smaller, even familiar substances such as water can show structures and properties different from those we normally know. The lab studies molecular motion mainly through experiments using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The lab also aims to create materials with new functions, such as proton conduction, electron conduction, and one-dimensional spin chains, by controlling how molecules are arranged in the space.
