Our laboratory is dedicated to tackling challenges in catalysis with inorganic and organometallic approaches. Achieving sustainability in the chemical industry is of significant importance in addressing global climate change and energy crisis. To address these issues, we focus on developing novel catalysts and reactions that enable the conversion of CO2 and renewable feedstocks using earth-abundant metals. Our approaches are based on a fundamental understanding of catalysts and their mechanisms, while employing modern concepts of coordination chemistry such as metal-ligand coopertivity, second coordination sphere interaction and metal-metal bonding. Through these efforts, our ultimate goal is to make contributions to carbon neutrality and sustainability in the chemical industry.
