Preface
I am not a specialist in studies on carbon-related materials. I attended the International
Conference on Composites/Nano Engineering (ICCE), 23 July 2015, in Chengdu,
China, on the invitation of Professor David Hui, University of New Orleans. I delivered
a Nobel Lecture on “Cross-Coupling Reactions of Organoboranes: An Easy Way for
Carbon-Carbon Bonding.” There I made many friends, including Professor Tamio
Endo, Sagamihara Surface Lab, and he asked me to write the preface for this book.
In 1963 I joined the research group of Professor Herbert C. Brown, who received
the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1997, at Purdue University, Indiana, US, as a postdoc-
toral associate, fascinated by the interesting new reaction of hydroboration. After a
2-year stay at Purdue, I returned to Hokkaido University, where I began studying
organic synthesis using organoboron compounds. We recognized the potential of
organoboranes as intermediates in organic synthesis. Our discoveries of halobora-
tion and cross-coupling reactions are fundamental contributions to the organic
chemistry of boron and synthetic methodology.
The cross-coupling reaction is widely used for the stereodefined construction of
carbon–carbon bonding in multifunctional systems. I have retired from the univer-
sity, but I am very happy to have a chance to meet many young researchers at inter-
national meetings to discuss this chemistry. I hope this book is useful for such young
chemists.

Introduction
This book is published in recognition of Nobel Lectures delivered by Akira Suzuki
(Emeritus Professor of Hokkaido University, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010) and the
Special Symposia on Carbon-Related Materials in ICCE-23 (2015) and 24 (2016).
The International Conference on Composites/Nano Engineering (ICCE) <http://
www.icce-nano.org/> was established by David Hui (University of New Orleans) in
1994 in New Orleans (USA). Subsequently, this Conference has been held every
year, initially in the US but latterly all over the world. A few tens of participants
attended at the beginning, but recently their numbers have increased to 400-600.
In this way, ICCE has been greatly developed and extended throughout the world
because of the great efforts of David Hui and major committees. This year (2017)
we celebrated the silver jubilee of ICCE, ICCE-25 (2017), in Rome.
The Special Symposium “Oxide Nanocomposites and Heterostructures” was
founded in New Orleans for ICCE-10 (2003) by Tamio Endo (Mie University,
Japan), Kazuhiro Endo (AIST, Japan), and Team Harmonized Oxides (THO)
<http://www.nims.go.jp/nqe/sa/tho/>. THO is a Japanese non-profit association, set
up by T. Endo and K. Endo to organize various international activities. We had only
one THO Special Symposium in ICCE-10, but the numbers increased to around
20 in the subsequent 14 years. In the last 4 years THO have organized a few Special
Symposia in ICCE such as “Materials Chemistry” and “Materials for Sustainable
Energy.” This is also a feature of the progress of ICCE.
In this development of ICCE, we (THO) invited Prof. Akira Suzuki to ICCE-
23 (2015) in Chengdu (China) to deliver the Nobel Lecture in Organic Chemistry
on “Cross-Coupling Reactions of Organoboranes: An Easy Way for Carbon-
Carbon Bonding.” The lecture was very interesting and instructive, inspiring all
the participants. Most of them working in the field of inorganic materials were
inspired to make use of C–C bonding approaches in their work on inorganic mate-
rials. This strong impact induced us to invite him again in ICCE-24 (2016) in
Haikou (China), and he kindly accepted our invitation. He presented the second
Nobel Lecture in the same field, and we again spent very valuable time together.
These two Nobel Lectures by Prof. Suzuki drove THO to arrange the “Suzuki
Special Symposium on Carbon-Related Materials” in ICCE-23 (2015) and
vii
viii Introduction
ICCE-24 (2016). Many outstanding presentations were given during these two
Special Symposia. The symposium organizers (T. Endo, S. Kaneko, P. Mele,
K. Tanaka, T. Tsuchiya, M. Yoshimura, and K. Yasui) were pleased by the disclo-
sure of such excellent papers to such a wide scientific community. This is why we
invited our distinguished colleagues to share their results, and why we publish this
book entitled “Carbon-Related Materials in Recognition of Nobel Lectures by
Prof. Akira Suzuki in ICCE.”
Commemorative photographs taken during ICCE-23(2015) in Chengdu, China
and ICCE-25 (2016) in Haikou (China) are shown here. Figure 1 shows Prof. Akira
Suzuki giving his Nobel Lecture. Figure 2 shows THO organizers, some of the edi-
tors of this book, and Prof. Suzuki after his Nobel Lecture. Figure 3 shows a dinner
scene during the Conference, with THO organizers, editors of this book, and Ms.
Shun Ying Hui (wife of Prof. David Hui, a Manager of ICCE). At every ICCE
Conference we have had very enjoyable mealtimes with representative guests.
Figure 4 shows a typical scene at the Conference banquet. On every occasion the
singing of the traditional Japanese song “Sakura Sakura” took place, led by Japanese
delegates but warmly including foreign delegates. We consider these events of
singalongs, dinners, and banquets with the participants of ICCE as very important
in the acquisition of international friendship and world peace. This is another purpose
and policy of the THO team and ICCE Conferences.
We are planning to publish books relating to the best Special Symposia held in
ICCE and aspire to the further development of ICCE.
