Coordination Chemistry

Pioneering the next generation through hybrid inorganic/organic systems that control photo, energy, and reactions

The construction of light energy-chemical energy conversion systems that create hydrogen and hydrocarbons from solar energy and water is also known as “artificial photosynthesis” and is a promising approach to solve environmental and energy problems. To realize this artificial photosynthesis, it is necessary to rationally collaborate photosensitizers, oxidation catalysts, and reduction catalysts. Our laboratory aims to realize artificial photosynthesis by utilizing the self-assembly ability of metal complexes in conjunction with various material systems.
