Introduction (MIT). He is an authority in the field of supramolecular chemistry and materials science. Fortunately, his reply said In May 1997, I was thinking “Should I change my “when could you come here?” And I started my study at MIT. chemistry?” I had been doing projects in organic chemistry On the first day, Prof. Swager gave me a sheet of paper on from my student days, and at that time I was a 35 years old- which a simple figure was written (Figure 1). There was an assistant professor. I could not stop thinking about that idea. arrow at the center of a bent rod in the lateral direction. And Then, to expand the scale of my chemistry, I was thinking that he said “if you synthesize these kinds of molecules, interesting I have to start a chemistry which was different from what I was phenomena are observed.” It seemed to be a study on “liquid studying. Then, I decided to go the USA or Europe to learn crystals”. Later, I checked the words “liquid crystal” with my supramolec
