Gabriel J. Lovinger Harvard University Abstract The discovery of fundamental reactivity and the development of selective catalytic methods to precisely construct functional molecules and chiral motifs is essential for the development of the natural sciences. This seminar will cover several cases in which the exploration of how catalysts interact with reactive intermediates has led to the discovery of new manifolds of reactivity and modes of selective catalysis. The first part of the seminar will discuss the development of enantioselective transition…

Prof. Yoshiyuki Kageyama Hokkaido University Abstract: The construction of life-like molecular-based robots is currently an attractive research target in supramolecular chemistry. For this purpose, "autonomy in chemical system" is a key concept. Similar to engines, which are self-sustaining energy converters that have replaced the work of humans and animals, molecular-based engines are expected to operate autonomously with an energy supply. However, it has not been established how to assemble molecular-based engines with practical functions. In general, a molecular system tends…
