Master's Program in Chemistry Course

The chemistry course consists of four divisions: Physical Chemistry of Condensed Matter, Chemistry for Molecular Design, Functional Chemistry in Life Science and Functional Chemistry for Materials. Researches in the division of Physical Chemistry of Condensed Matter include investigation of the physicochemical properties of the soft matter such as surfactants, amphiphilic polymers, and ionic liquids. We also aim at dynamical properties of low-temperature quantum molecular systems containing light mass atoms by means of quantum dynamical simulations. In the division of Chemistry for Molecular Design, we investigate the creation of innovative functional molecules by fabricating various metals and organic molecules as "metal complexes", aiming for the realization of sustainable human society in accordance with precious nature. In the division of Functional Chemistry in Life science, we aim to elucidate the structure and function of biomolecules involved in the mechanism of life, using many high-technology facilities including mass spectrometer, optical, nuclear magnetic resonance, and other spectroscopic instruments. In the division of Functional Chemistry for Materials, we engage in the development of new functional materials through the study of optical and magnetic properties of molecules, while being conscious about their practicability and applicability.
