Outline of Chair

Fundamental studies on structure,property,and function of molecules and their assemblies,and on molecular responses and reactivity due to stimulation.
Research Fields
- Structure and molecular dynamics of the condensed phase as influenced by various kinds of external field
- Chemistry and Physics on Isotope Effects
- Microscopic structure of materials studied in detail by various methods to realize the functionality of substances
- Structure and molecular dynamics of the condensed phase as influenced by various kinds of external field
- Design, synthesis, and properties of novel advanced functionalized compounds based on
pi-electronic systems - Electroanalytical chemistry in nonaqueous solutions including the emphasis of the environmental view point
- Analytical application of photothermal spectroscopy and reflection spectroscopy to the trace determination and separation of substances in the environment
- Fundamental concepts and experimental techniques for separation and determination of trace constituents in biochemical and environmental samples
- Development of a synthetic method of novel aromatic compounds and their application as advanced functionalized materials will be discussed
- Synthesis of biofunctional molecules and study on basic concept and method for selective functionality of the compounds
- Study on molecular properties by use of quantum chemistry
- Development of a synthetic method of novel amphiphilic polymers and their application as advanced functionalized materials will be discussed
- Studies on molecular designs of functionalized molecules and their aggregates, based on quantum chemistry or molecular dynamics theory.
- Structure and physical property of molecules at interfaces.
- For the purpose of fostering advanced but fundamental scholarship and profound expert
knowledge, this seminar will be held to carry out exercises concerning the field directly
related to the tasks for study. - In order to make students participate in seminars with attendance of teaching staff and
students of the different but related major fields of study invited from the other chairs or other fields so that respective own research can be developed to the other fields other than the particular major field, this seminar will be held to foster abilities to extend to develop or challenge to the other field. - Under the Chief Guidance Teaching Staff and Vise-Guidance Teaching Staffs, to actively
make research on the theme of study which is decided through discussion with the Chief
Guidance Teaching Staff and to make publication (doctoral thesis). - Students may be trained practically in any public agency and business enterprise if effectiveness on education is recognized.
