The primary focus of our research group is studying the reactions and kinetics of metal coordination compounds in their excited states.

Our methods include selecting and synthesizing ligands, synthesizing and characterizing metal coordination compounds (through spectroscopic and magnetic measurements), investigating photochemical reaction mechanisms, measuring quantum yields, and using ligand field theory models to explain experimental results.

We aim to understand the interactions between metals and ligands in metal coordination compounds by corroborating theoretical calculations with experimental results. Specifically, we investigate how ligands affect the chemical properties of these compounds in their excited states. The ultimate goal is to design practical photocatalytic systems. We have achieved significant results in the photocatalytic reactions of cage-like trivalent cobalt compounds.
