Research Project	Innovative asymmetric chemistry of organoarsenic compounds toward higher-ordered structures and highly-functionalized materials
Abstract	In this project, we are challenging for the development of practical synthetic methods for asymmetric organoarsenic compounds, which remain to be examined. Moreover, the higher-ordered structures and high functions will be investigated in detail. An arsenic atom has advantages in organic chemistry over other pnictogens because of its high steric and chemical stability. Additionally, the design of asymmetrical coordination spheres is simplified by utilizing arsenic-stereogenic compounds, in which the stereo-center itself has coordination ability. The precisely designed higher-ordered structure and versatile functions of transition metals will open new avenue toward further advancement of the science of coordination asymmetry.
