About HN

Solving problems related to organic/organometallic chemistry and catalysis. In particular,

1. Homogeneous/heterogeneous catalysis using simple substances (H2, H2O and CO2) for selective organic synthesis.

2. Photocatalytic conversion of alcohols for fine chemical synthesis.

3. Chemical biology based on transition metal complexes.
