Hiroo Inokuchi (23 Feb 1927 – 20 March 2014) was a Japanese chemist who did pioneering work in electronic processes in organic materials, for which he received the 2007 Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology. Since 2006, he was the chairman of the Japan Space Forum.

Career[edit]

Inokuchi contributed to many branches of the field of electronic processes in organic materials, including luminescence, photoemission, and spectroscopy.[4]

Honors[edit]

Inokuchi was a member of the Japan Academy and the Chinese Academy of Science. In 1965, the Japan Academy awarded him the Japan Academy Prize. In 1978 he received the Chemical Society of Japan Award from the Chemical Society of Japan. In 1994, the Japanese government recognized him as a Person of Cultural Merit and in 2001 they awarded him the Order of Culture.[5] In 2007 he received the Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology.[1]

The asteroid 32270 Inokuchihiroo, discovered in 2000, was named after Inokuchi.[6] In May, 2018, the Tokyo Physical and Chemical Research Institute opended the Hiroo Inokuchi Hall.[7][8]
