Research

The mission of the Ito group is to develop new organic reactions, catalytic reactions, and functional materials through understanding and utilizing the characteristics of various elements. The research involves organoelement chemistry, which is a new field that conbines organometallic chemistry, heteroelement chemistry, and coordination chemistry. Through advancing this research, we are also aiming to develop cutting edge human resources.
