Department of Theoretical and Computational Molecular Science
It is our ultimate goal to develop theoretical and computational methodologies that include quantum
mechanics, statistical mechanics, and molecular simulations in order to understand the structures and
functions of molecules in gasses and condensed phases, as well as in bio and nano systems.
Department of Photo-Molecular Science
Molecules respond to photon irradiation in a variety of ways, including photo-induced transitions and photochemical reactions.
We have employed various light sources to elucidate molecular structures and properties and to control chemical reactions and molecular functions.
We have slso developed new and advanced light sources for molecular science.
Department of Materials Molecular Science
Extensive development of new molecules, molecular systems and their higher-order assemblies is being conducted.
Their electric, photonic and magnetic properties, reactivities, and catalytic activities are being examined
in an attempt to discover new phenomena and useful functionalities.
Department of Life and Coordination-Complex Molecular Science
We are undertaking researches to elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible for various biological functions
and to develop new molecular devices using biological molecules. We are also working on energy-material conversion,
organic molecules transformation in water, and activation of small inorganic molecules with high efficiencies
by using metal complexes aimed for the reduction of environmental burdens.
