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…
