HONDA Kento, a second-year master student at the Physical Organic Chemistry Group (Tahara Laboratory) in the Applied Chemistry Program, Graduate School of Science and Technology, received the CSJ Poster Presentation Award 2023 for Excellent Research at the 13th CSJ Chemistry Festa 2023, held from October 17 to 19 as an autumn project of the Chemical Society of Japan. In this event, 1,002 student poster presentations were held, and 182 of them were selected to receive the CSJ Poster Presentation Award 2023 for Excellent Research.
Winner: HONDA Kento (Physical Organic Chemistry Group (Tahara Laboratory), second-year master student)
Presentation title: Two-dimensional self-assembly of tetragonal, pentagonal, hexagonal, and heptagonal macrocycles at solid-liquid interfaces
Presentation content: Molecular assemblies formed by self-assembly of organic molecules on solid surfaces have a periodicity of several nanometers and are expected to be applied to surface modification, micro-reaction fields, molecular sensors, and electronic circuits. Therefore, basic research toward the establishment of structural control methods is being actively conducted. The presentation reported the results of a systematic investigation of the two-dimensional self-assembly of tetragonal, pentagonal, hexagonal, and heptagonal macrocycles by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In particular, this research shed light on the surface packing structure of heptagonal molecules, which was heretofore unknown. The content of this presentation is expected to serve as important fundamental knowledge relevant to the applications mentioned above.
