Synthetic Organic Chemistry

We develop catalysts and catalytic reactions for the chemical fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is not only a greenhouse gas but also a renewable carbon source, and CO2 fixation is an important technology for the creation of carbon-neutral societies based on circular economy. On the other hand, fluorescent dyes and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) dyes are expected to find various applications such as organic functional materials. We study these subjects taking advantage of organic synthesis.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is a chiroptical phenomenon associated with right- and left-handed circularly polarized light emissions with different intensities. CPL is potentially useful for 3D displays, security inks, and so on. Luminescent organic dyes in the solid state are expected to find applications such as organic materials including organic electroluminescence (EL).。
