报告摘要：Complex systems consisting of transition metal elements play important roles in modern chemistry as industrial catalysts, catalysts for organic synthesis, functional materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and so on. Also, the complex systems exhibit unprecedented chemical bonding, variety of new geometry, rich reactivity, and molecular properties. All those are important research targets for theoretical/computational chemistry. Our group is theoretically/computationally investigating these complex systems consisting of transition metal elements. Our recent targets are chemical bonding with strong electron correlation effects, molecular properties of transition metal complexes in crystal, catalysis of transition metal complexes, electronic structure and catalysis of metal clusters/particles, and gas adsorption to MOFs. The talk will focus on Pro.Shigeyoshi Sakaki’s several recent works of catalysis of these complex systems and gas adsorption to MOFs.
报告人简介： Professor Shigeyoshi Sakaki received his doctoral degree from Kyoto University in 1974 and was appointed as an honorary professor by Kyoto University in 2011.
