The substances that make hydrogenation reactions more efficient are searched for at once in an automated flow reactor.

Using our originally developed automated flow reactor, we verified the performance changes of 21 additives in hydrogenation reactions and elucidated promising additives and their mechanisms of action.

AI will explain how the chemical reaction goes!

AI will explain how the chemical reaction goes!

XAI, an artificial intelligence technology known as "explainable AI," has revealed for the first time in the world that it can explain molecular structures in the transition state of an activated state in a chemical reaction.

Successful ring-opening of propeller-shaped molecular triptycene by acid!

Successful ring-opening of propeller-shaped molecular triptycene by acid!

By simply mixing acid with triptycene, a propeller-shaped molecule with three blades of benzene rings, he discovered a reaction that removes only one of the three seams of the blades, and he successfully applied this reaction to the synthesis of acenes.

Also used in ECMO! Elucidating the Mechanism of Functional Expression of Antithrombogenic Polymers

Also used in ECMO! Elucidating the Mechanism of Functional Expression of Antithrombogenic Polymers

We have succeeded in elucidating the mechanism by which the antithrombotic properties of poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA), which is actually used in the inner wall coating of ECMO circuits, develop.
