Coordination compounds, being
composed of metal ions andorganic/inorganic ligands, havehuge diversity and potential. In
this laboratory, coordination
compounds with novel structuresand properties are being
prepared. Our interests are
divided into three areas:
1. emissive coordination
complexes;
2. multinuclear complexes that
respond to external stimuli; and3. functional complexes, inspiredby renewable energy conversion
in nature, which exhibit catalytic
activity toward the reduction ofCO₂, O₂, and N₂.
We synthesize numerous
compounds with new, hitherto
unknown properties, and theninvestigate the intricacies of theirstructures. Some of thecompounds we have createdinclude fragrant compounds andemerald crystals. The nature ofsuch compounds and theirmolecular structure are intimately
related. Currently, we aredeveloping compounds that arehighly responsive to heat, light,
and magnetic fields.
Numerous bioactive organic
compounds occur in nature, manyof which possess complex
