Research Field
Bioinorganic Chemistry, Supramolecular Chemistry
Research Subject
Array, Space, and Motion Control with Programmable Self-Assembled Molecules, Discovery of New Structures and Functions
Current Research
What we are aiming now is to control metal complex array and motion and create new functional molecules using purposely-designed functional programmable molecules. In particular, we have been working on metal array control with artificial metallo-DNA and syntheses of metal-mediated motion devices that move like a ball-bearing. With a view to a wide range of fields such as bioinorganic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and materials science, we have been searching for new principles of synthetic molecular architectures.
