Our research is focused on the development of new synthetic methods and strategies using transition metal catalyst and novel organometallics. For example, we developed a new class catalyst bearing multinuclear metal centers, which can serve as an effective catalyst for water oxidation reaction. We also targets the novel Lewis acid catalyst. Metal complexes having cage-shaped ligands are synthesized and used for new types of selective reactions for organic synthesis. These reactive transition metal and organometallics species have been highly demanded for developing new functionalized materials and pharmaceutical compounds. All projects are supported by organic synthetic approaches that expands to various filed of chemistry.

Preparation and characterization of organic-inorganic hybrid compounds using a biomolecule or bio-related molecule are an attractive research subject to provide various functional materials. Our group has focused on structures, reactivities and physicochemical properties of the hybrids such as metalloproteins, organometallic complexes, π-conjugated materials, metal nanomaterials, and carbon nanomaterials. In addition, we now work on the development of direct functionalization methods of organic compounds using a metal catalyst and its application for the diversification of biomolecules and functional materials.
