MOLFEX provides contract-based molecular design services and analysis software for functional materials using a new method.
In conventional material development, the relationship between desired function and molecular structure was not evident, making trial and error through experimentation necessary. Materials informatics, which is based on vast amounts of experimental data, has become popular in recent years. On the other hand, the Vibronic Coupling Density (VCD) theory developed at Kyoto University, which involves electron and molecular vibrations, clarifies the relationship between structure and function involving light and electrons without requiring large amounts of data, explains why certain structures are superior, and allows for the precise design of materials with desirable functionality.
This molecular design method is now applicable to real-world materials, which is why this Kyoto University start-up was founded.
MOLFEX will contribute to material development by implementing our material design technology throughout society via our services.

MOLFEX has focused on the Vibronic Coupling Density theory as a technology for designing functional molecules and has also developed proprietary software based on this theory. We design molecules using theory, software, and expertise. Vibronic coupling is the interaction between molecular vibrations and electrons—an interaction that exists in all molecules. While vibronic coupling has not been considered very important in the past, it is essential for precise molecular design. We carefully analyze each molecule and design molecules based on the findings. MOLFEX’s molecular design technology can provide a “why” that cannot be provided by Material Informatics (MI), which is based on large amounts of experimental data, and can also complement MI.
