Chemistry across multiple length scales
Our research on the reversible self-gelation of ruthenium-based metal-organic polyhedra has been published in Chemical Science!! This work was led by our former postdoctoral researcher Dr. Javier Troyano, and it was finalized into a paper by the huge contributions from our Ph.D. candidates Fuerkaiti Tayier and Phitchayapha "Tang" Phattharaphhuti. Collaborations with Dr. Takuma Aoyama and…
Our master students, Shun Tokuda and Ayana Miyata, joined the 2023 Summer School of Young Coordination Chemists Association of Japan. Shun got the Outstanding Presentation Award (oral), and Ayana got the Chemistry Letters Young Researcher Award (poster)! Our students showed high research performances. We are proud of you!! 修士課程の徳田君と宮田さんが錯体化学若手の会夏の学校2023に参加し、優秀講演賞とChem. Lett. Young Researcher Awardを受賞しました！おめでとうございます！
Po-Chun Han, who was coming to our group as a visiting student from National Taiwan University (Prof. Kevin Wu's Group), has returned to Taiwan after completing his second endeavor with us. During Po-Chun's year-long participation in our group, he was always an integral part of us. His tremendous effort yielded so many impressive results that…
Our new paper on the fabrication of pore-networked porous gels is finally on JACS!! This work was made by the amazing leadership of our postdoc fellow Zaoming Wang, who pushed powerful collaborations with Dr. Aydin Ozcan, Prof. Guillaume Maurin and Prof. Rocio Semino for computational simulations, Prof. Cara M Doherty for PALS, Prof. Kenji Urayama…
In this September, we welcomed three new members to the group!! We hope all of them will enjoy science and great life in Kyoto. Dr. David Burke joined as a JSPS postdoc from the Will Dichtel group at Northwestern University, USA. David used to work on COFs and their membranes. Here, David will develop responsive…
Tomoki kindly invited us to his wedding party!! We can just say, congratulations!!! It was really a gorgeous party at Heian Shrine!!
Alex and Shuhei traveled to Dresden for participating MOF2022 as a first conference after the pandemic.

Our master student, Shun Tokuda, joined the summer school of the Coordination Chemistry Society and got a BCSJ oral presentation award!! Kotoha Kageyama from the Horike group also got a ChemLett poster presentation award as well!! Our students from iCeMS showed high research performances. We are proud of you!!
This summer, we welcomed three undergraduates for their internship. Michel Lu from Harvard joined us as an Amgen Scholar, Mathew Cao from Toronto as an internship student supported by Mitacs Globalink Research Award, and Nicholas Wiesner from Michigan as an iCeMS Summer Internship Student. Michel worked with Idaira for new material fabrication toward environmental analysis,…
At the beginning of the new academic year, we farewelled and welcomed group members. Sakura aka cherry blossom season bloom in such a season. Dr.Yosuke Hara worked in our group as a visiting student left the group and started working in the chemical industry. He worked on the hierarchical porous system based on metal-organic frameworks…
