Tsubomura's reserch interest is in the fields of Luminescence and photochemistry of Coordination compounds.  In recent years, our group has been studying mainly d10 metal complexes and their photophysics and photochemistry.  One of our goals is to construct a new photochemical system using metal complexes.

Undergoing research projects:

1) Synthesis of new luminescent metal complexes.  Metal species used are Cu(I), Ag(I), Pd(0), Pt(0), Pt(II) and rare earthes.

2) Development of new photochemical catalytic reactions for degradation of toxic organic halides.

3) Study of the chemistry of the coordination compounds in ionic liquids.

My hobby is to walk around the Musashi-Itsukaichi area and climb low-mountains in the west part of tokyo.  A photograph site of mine is here.
