To overcome multiple complexities in catalytic mechanisms, we are developing QM/MM method, AIMD method, and analytical methods based on quantum and statistical mechanics. These methods are applied to the catalytic reactions of organic catalysts, transition-metal reagents, and heterogeneous catalysts.
