Molecular Ensemble Development Research Team
Research Areas
The objective of research in this team is to explore and develop molecular functions based on the design and control of local electronic states and intermolecular interactions. The tasks to be carried out are focused on basic science for development of molecular devices and development of molecular catalyses (organometallic compounds and proteins).
