Research summary
Microwave-assisted Organic Reaction, Novel Ferrocene Derivatives 　Organic compounds consist of only several kinds of elements. However, these combinations are infinite; so that numerous compounds with various structures can be created, which depends on how the atoms are aligned with each other and what type of bonds are formed. Organic chemistry plays a role in creating novel substances with new functions through changing the combination of atoms and providing materials for use in various scientific fields. 　I am developing organic reactions using microwave irradiation in the aim of utilizing "Green Chemistry," which is the technique used in the sustainable and environment-friendly method of "Creation". I am also attempting to synthesize novel compounds possessing excellent properties and functions through use of these methods. I am now carrying out "Molecule Design" of ferrocene-containing compounds that should be stable organo-iron compounds, and are studying their physical properties and functions.
