“Molecular systems chemistry” is the study of pioneering methodologies to realize “useful functions (molecular systems functions)” by harnessing designed molecular interactions and self-assembly, and is expected to be the foundation of the next generation of science.
Our laboratory is developing new molecular systems that exhibit photon energy conversion, such as molecularly organized photon upconversion, molecularly organized singlet fission, and molecular photothermal storage systems. Recent focus has also been placed on research on creating photofunctions based on strong coupling between light and matter. We are working on the creation of molecular systems chemistry through the development of next-generation photofunctional molecular systems.
