R1: Chiral Material Synthesis Group

This area establishes the foundation of the project by focusing on the design and engineering of chiral materials across different scales.

• R1-1 (Small Molecules): Focuses on establishing comprehensive synthesis guidelines for chiral organic small molecules. The goal is to design and create substances where chirality is induced or transmitted through interactions with light, electron spin, or electron chirality.

• R1-2 (Nano-Structures): Focuses on building hierarchical nano-chiral structures by precisely controlling the self-assembly and interaction of molecules and nanoparticles. This work tackles the challenging intermediate size domain to understand how complex structures influence physical and chemical phenomena, especially chirality.
