Abstract:

In our laboratory, we are mainly studying on Schiff base metal complexes which are composed of various metal ions and organic ligand components. They are designed and synthesized skillfully, and are elucidating structures and electronic properties by using various methods such as X-ray crystallography, (spectroscopic) measurements of physical properties and theoretical calculations. Basic research works of an investigation of knowledge about  principle of structures and electronic state (physical inorganic chemistry) and are our core competence. Interpretation of electronic absorption and circular dichroism (ABCD) spectra and determination of absotute structure of optically active complexes by X-ray crystallography are historically important issues in the field of coordination chemistry especially in Japan. Recently, as the application of such fundermentals, we are dealing with  hybrid functional materials of supramolecular complexes exhibiting  multiple physical properties aiming at environmental or energy materials such as DSSC, light-driven biofuel cells, and photocatalysts. Our reserch concept of ”hybrid systems of chiral metal complexes” were proposed by combination of chiral metal complexes having sufficient accumulation
and new  functional nano-materials (metal complexes, magnetic materials, semiconductors, metallic nanoparticles, catalysts, optical function pigments, synthetic polymers and metalloproteins, etc.). As for physical measruemets, we are using “topological lights” such as linearly and circular polarized light, optical vortex, and free electron laser for both optical illumination and spectral interpretation of these inorganic hybrid materials. In this planary lecture, I will present both our concept (including a wide element of an inorganic chemistry from solid state chemistry to bioinorganic chemistry) and some our recent results
