| The main purpose of our research is to elucidate the state of inter- and intramolecular bonds and their electronic structures of various inorganic and inorganic coordination compounds by using Mossbauer spectroscopy. In addition, we are also
conducting research into the electronic structures of lanthanide and actinide
metallofullerenes. Mossbauer spectroscopy is spectroscopy utilizing a
phenomenon whereby γ-rays emitted from the source atom are absorbed to the absorber
atom by the recoilless nuclear resonance absorption, and in this way,
information such as the chemical state, lattice dynamical property, magnetic
behavior and phase transition of resonance nuclides (Mossbauer nuclides: 57Fe)
can be obtained. The specific research
themes are as follows: 1. The synthesis and electron transfer mechanism of mixed-valence trinuclear iron carboxylates 2. The synthesis and electronic structures of rare earth-iron complexes 3. The synthesis, electronic structures and molecular motion of alkylammonium iron complexes 4. The lattice dynamical behavior of iron complexes 5. The radiation induced synthesis of new iron complexes 6. The electronic structures of metallofullerenes containing rare-earth elements |
