Functional Organic Chemistry Laboratory
Creating new organic materials
Do you know what the world’s smallest necklace is? The answer is a molecular string of bundled molecular beads. This is possible in the tiny molecular world, which cannot be seen with the naked eyes. Molecules combined together are called supramolecules. Our laboratory uses organic chemistry and supramolecular technologies to produce materials with novel functions. It is still a new area, and hence, it has many potentialities to tap into.
