Designed Molecular Space in Material Science and Catalysis

by Seiji Shirakawa

Overview

This book focuses on molecular space chemistry, which is recognized as an important concept for the design of novel functional materials and catalysts. A wide variety of topics and ideas included in this book are based on that concept. The book showcases recent representative examples of molecular space design to create functional materials and catalysts possessing unique properties. This unique volume will be of great interest to chemists in a wide variety of research fields, including organic, inorganic, biological, polymer, and supramolecular chemistry. Readers will obtain new ideas and directions to create novel functional molecules, and those ideas will lead to innovative views of science.

About the Author

Seiji Shirakawa graduated from Nihon University (1997) and received his Ph.D. (2004) from Kyoto University under the supervision of Professor Keiji Maruoka. He worked with Professor James L. Leighton at Columbia University (2004–2005) and Professor Shū Kobayashi at University of Tokyo (2005–2007) as a postdoctoral fellow. He was appointed as an assistant professor at Nihon University in 2007, and moved to Kyoto University as an associate professor (2009). He is currently an associate professor in Nagasaki University since 2014. He has received The Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, The Young Scientists’ Prize (2013), Incentive Award in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan (2014), and Nagase Foundation Award (2015). His research interests include supramolecular catalysis and onium salt catalysis.
