Ryosuke’s PhD defense wrapped up successfully yesterday. As the first doctoral student in the Fukazawa Group at Kyoto University, he gave a fantastic presentation that really reflected five years of hard work here. Great job, Ryosuke👏 I’m proud of you!

Modular Synthesis of Benzothiophene-Fused Pentalene Reveals Substituent-Dependent Antiaromaticity
Antiaromatic π-electron systems provide unique electronic features arising from the cyclic conjugation of 4n π-electrons, yet synthetic access to strongly antiaromatic heteroarene-fused scaffolds rema...

Excited to share our latest work on antiaromatic hydrocarbons, now up on ChemRxiv👩🔬 What happens when a physical organic chemist takes a closer look at transition metal complexes...? We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

For 70 years, researchers have struggled to find an efficient way to produce ortho-quinodimethane. A new method uses a palladium-catalysed multi-component reaction to make this reactive intermediate from readily available chemicals.

Check out our latest paper that presents a great example of how something we've qualitatively understood as "gaining aromaticity" turns out to be not quite the case when you actually dig into the details. Enjoy it along with some fun artwork of sushi plates🍣

Spent an amazing week completely immersed in great chemistry with old friends and new ones in Mérida for Aromaticity 2025. Now, time to head back to mid-winter Japan on the other side of the world❄️

It’s really unusual that maple trees still have leaves in late December…🍁 I love the scenery though!
