The most interesting application of chiral Fumio Toda received his B.Sc, (1956), M.Sc. (1958), and D.Sc. (1962 from Osaka University, where he worked with Masazumi Nakagawa. After postdoctoral work at the University of Illinois with Nelson J. Leonard, he joined the faculty of Ehime University as associate professor and was promoted to professor in 1970. His research interests are focused on strained small ring compounds, aliene-acetylene chemistry, solid state chemistry, and inclusion chemistry.

We demonstrate that significant improvements in kinetics of co-crystal formation by grinding can be achieved by the addition of minor amounts of appropriate solvent.

Some host-guest complexes have been formed by mixing the components in the solid state, and complexation has been shown to proceed with some selectivity.
