Our Research

We are aiming to elucidate the basic principle in order to synthesize novel compounds efficiently and selectively based on the chemical and physical properties of organic molecular. For this purpose, we are performing systematic studies of substittuent and solvent effects of novel reactions to propose the mechanism, considering the steric and electronic factor governing the reaction. It is necessary to investigate molecular orbital theoretically and kinetically to this goal.

about Fullerene

Kinetic Study of Fullerene Reactions

By kinetic comparison of reactivity of C60 and C70, the correlation between molecular structure and the reactivity was governed by FMO theory.
