Current Research Interests
My research group is currently interested in the transition
metal-catalyzed organic transformations. Especially, we are interested in the
development of environmentally benign processes which will provide complex
organic compounds. These reactions will provide alternative methods for the
synthesis of useful organic compounds, which are essential to our daily life.
We are also extending our research to the synthesis of supramolecules catalyzed
by transition metal catalysts. These new and interesting compounds may function
as molcular switches etc.
