Chemistry continues to be a fundamental field of science, which is indispensable to create materials with new functions or better performance, and is getting more and more important with the advances in all fields of science and technology. Moreover, its role in the 21st century will be tremendous as a key technology to solve such important problems as those concerning environment, resources and energy. The research in the Course of Chemistry includes important topics of fundamental and applied chemistry, such as the development of environmentally benign chemical reactions, creation and development of functions of intelligent materials based organic molecules, polymers, and organometallic compounds and nano-particles that sustain the bottom-up approach of nanotechnology, elucidation and application of the biological functions of key molecules involved in heredity and photosynthesis. Moreover, in close collaboration with Research Center for Solar Energy Chemistry, investigations on chemical utilization of solar energy are keenly conducted. Accordingly, the education in this course is mainly focused in the basics of chemical bonding and chemical reactions, but also on the related area in physics and biology, to promote self-established graduates who are capable of developing new fields of chemistry and its interdisciplinary area.
