Overview of Research
Our research projects are focusing on the creation of new compounds involving heavier main group elements such as Si, Ge, Sn, P, and B to discover the unique structural characteristics and electronic properties that can be applied as new functional materials for the next generation. Recent progress in our group includes the development of unique silicon-based sigma and pi-electron systems, isolable dialkylphosphinyl radical, and triarylphosphine-based redox systems. In our laboratory, we aim to build the systematic view in bonding, structure, reactions, and properties covering the chemistry of all main group elements.
