Using non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and Lewis acid-base interaction, as one keyword, we are creating catalysts that can express high activity and selectivity. We are also developing highly efficient and practical synthetic organic reactions, such as carbon-hydrogen bond transformations. In addition, by utilizing the developed reactions, we are investigating the projects with the aim of creating high performance organic functional materials, such as -conjugated molecules and polymers. Through these researches, we aim to solve energy and environmental problems.
