The Tateishi Group at FRIS is recruiting new members. Our research activities are mainly carried out in the Coordination Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University. As of May 2026, we are conducting research together with 5 students affiliated with the Coordination Chemistry Laboratory. For both undergraduate and graduate students, joining the Tateishi Group generally follows the laboratory assignment procedures of the Departm

It's great honor to announce that I have launched my own research group at Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences (FRIS), Tohoku University. Our group explores how precisely designed molecules can be assembled into functional materials, with a particular focus on porous and soft molecular systems based on organic/coordination/supramolecular chemistry. Pores surrounded by molecules offer powerful opportunities for separating, capturing, transporting, and re
