In the Suginome group, a variety of research projects are pursued on the basis of synthetic organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, main group metal chemistry, transition metal chemistry, polymer chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, etc. We always try to pursue innovative molecular and reaction design for establishing new synthetic methods, new molecular functions, new concept, new phenomena, new principles, etc.
We are interested in development of new catalytic reactions for molecular synthesis, utilizing transition metal catalysts and organosemimetallic reagents. Boron and silicon are particularly interesting, serving as key elements in our chemistry.
We are also interested in the synthesis and new molecular functions of single-handed helical polymers, particularly poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)s.
Main parts of our research projects are shown below. Links to each of these project areas will lead you to detailed information on the topic.
