Many branches of chemistry and materials science now interface with organometallic chemistry and heteroatom chemistry - the study of compounds containing carbon-metal and carbon-heteroatom bonds, which display diverse functions of interest in modern technology. Environmental protection, health of human beings and safety are major contemporary concerns these days.  With these scientific interests and social needs in mind, recent studies in this division have focused on following subjects:

1 Development of environmentally-benign and atom-economical homogeneous catalytic processes for heteroatom compounds with emphasis on Si, P, S, B and halogen.
2 Creation of well-defined polymeric and supramolecular materials
3 Chemical, biochemical, medical, photophysical and thermomechanical properties and functions of heteroatom-containing materials

Hybrid Chemistry Based on Atomic-level Programming for Advanced Metallo-nanomaterials

Metal-organic hybrid nanomaterials have a limitless potential for synergistic functions like metalloproteins, because the organic frameworks have a significant diversity for design and synthesis and there are almost 110 inorganic elements as a substrates. However, we cannot yet freely assemble and hybridize their elements at the atomic level. The methodology for building fine-controlled nanostructures using the large variety of inorganic elements as raw materials will surely lead to the generation of yet unknown next-generation functional nano-materials. That is, the approach through “Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Based on Atomic-level Programming” is one of the most important general strategy for the next-generation nanotechnology.
Our research aims to explore the methodology for the design and construction of fine-controlled hybrid materials through “Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Based on Atomic-level Programming”, in which the chemical bonds and arrangements of metal atoms and ions are reversibly and precisely controlled. Our group is also striving to open up new field to create innovative future nano-materials, which will have an impact on the environmental, biomimetic, and energy sciences.

Materials Chemistry Integrating Molecules through Metals with Interfacial Functions

An evolutional breakthrough is being expected in materials science in all areas of our activities, such as information, environments, medical, energy, and so on. Individual molecules and materials which have been developed separately should be assembled into integrated molecular or materials systems such as moleculardevices and molecular machines. The objective of this division has been set to develop a new evolved materials chemistry and engineering to integrate molecular arrangements and assembling of functional molecules as ultimate functional elements and mesoscopic materials exhibiting exotic properties specific to their nanostructures. Our targets are placed on macromolecules, metal complexes, molecular crystals, nanostructured metals and semiconductors and so on. Both "molecular circuitry"and "nanostructured hybrid materials (metamaterials in a wide sense)" are set as our "integrated" and symbolic keywords which have high potentials for the next generation materials science.

Our research group try to understand the regulatory mechanism of the energy conversion apparatus in the photosynthetic organisms. They are the most important organisms as an energy resource on the earth since they directly convert the solar energy to the chemical energy. We study the new way for the application of the capability of the various enzyme function of the microbes as well.
