Integration of the frontiers of molecular design, synthesis and analysis is the foremost goal of this COE. In this way, we will construct a new paradigm for research and training in the chemical sciences. Five REC units will be constructed as illustrated below. Experienced faculty members at the forefront of synthetic and analytic chemical research will attract young talented chemists to these REC units, producing an atmosphere of free discussion and collaboration in research and graduate education. Targets of the respective REC units are as follows:
01 Biofunctional molecules Cluster
Research and development for biofunctional molecules
02 Photofunctional molecules Cluster
Efficient Photo-energy Conversion for Transformation and Control of Properties of Molecular Systems
03 Environmentally benign catalysis Cluster
Development of Innovative Catalysts for Perfect Chemical Reactions
04 Innovative chemical processes Cluster
Jump out of conventional reactions
05 Nano-functional molecules Cluster
Functional supermolecular assemblies
