Synthetic Molecular Sequences in Materials Science

Kentaro Tashiro received his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 2000 and is currently working as a principal researcher in the National Institute for Materials Science, where he is pursuing the study of sequence structures in the intra- and intermolecular level. Part of his work along with this concept is summarized in a chapter contributed to Chemical Science of π-Electron Systems (Springer 2015), and has been published in internationally renowned journals such as JACS, ACIE, and ChemCommun. The author won the Chemical Society of Japan Award for Young Chemists in 2007.
