Development, analysis, and evaluation of substances with various new functions.

Compounds formed by the combination of metal ions with various organic or inorganic compounds are generally referred to as "metal complexes" (or "complex ions" in high school textbooks). The properties of a complex are determined by the structure surrounding the metal ion (what is bonded and what shape it takes) and the state of its electrons. Even with the same metal ion, completely different colors and properties can be obtained depending on the environment. In particular, the differences in color are vivid and are a very intriguing phenomenon. Moreover, these compounds are not only visually appealing but also highly functional, existing in both industrial products and natural substances. While it is enjoyable to develop methods for designing compounds that exhibit desired properties and synthesizing them as intended, I am also interested in the unexpected new properties that can sometimes be discovered, which drives my research. Through these studies, I am also working on improving various analytical techniques that can accommodate a wide range of applications.
