Kenichi Fukui unity real earth I was also interested in formulating the path of chemical reactions. Kenichi Fukui chemical-reactions chemicals path We think that it is the best scientists working in the frontier fields of science who are best able to judge what is good and what is bad - if any - in the application of their scientific research. Kenichi Fukui research judging thinking We pray that every field of science may contribute in bringing happiness - not disaster - to human beings. Kenichi Fukui fields praying may In particular, for younger researchers on whom the future of mankind may depend. We believe that they are working with all the scientific wisdom at their disposal for the preservation of the inheritance of the earth and for the lasting survival of mankind. Kenichi Fukui inheritance survival believe The frontier orbital approach was further developed in various directions by my own group and many other scientists, both theoretical and experimental. Kenichi Fukui scientist groups approach But the nature of my main work in chemistry can be better represented by more than 280 English publications, of which roughly 200 concern the theory of chemical reactions and related subjects. Kenichi Fukui chemical-reactions chemicals chemistry This simple idea served to provide information on the geometrical shape of reacting molecules, and I was able to make the role of the frontier orbitals in chemical reactions more distinct through visualization, by drawing their diagrams. Kenichi Fukui more drawing information simple This success led my theoretical group to the chemical reactivity theory, extending more and more widely the range of compound and reactions that were discussed.
