We start our laboratory activity in the spring-summer semester of 2025 today.
Farewell & welcome party
We had the farewell and welcome party at our familiar beer restaurant “Grow Stock” on Mar. 3. We enjoyed nice beer, food, and conversation with a lot of smile.
Research presentation
The research presentation in the Department of Chemistry was held on Feb. 27-28. Four students in our laboratory, Mr. Miyashita, Ms. Hara, Mr. Hayashi, and Mr. Fukui, gave their presentations of “Cavity transmission for polaritonic chemistry”, “Chirality recognition of molecular dimer”, “IR spectroscopy of dihydrogen-bonded clusters”, and “Dependence of dihydrogen bond strength on its angle”, respectively. We were pleased to enjoy nice presentations.
Defense of master’s thesis
Three students in our laboratory, Mr. Oyaide, Hayano, and Furukawa, gave their presentations to show fruitful results in defending the master’s thesis.
Workshop on “Molecular Science in Optical Cavity”
The research center of “Molecular Science in Optical Cavity,” which is organized by Prof. Matsumoto, was supported by the Center of Interdisciplinary Domain Research at Shizuoka University. On Dec. 10, we had the opportunity to open the workshop at our research center. The members of this center are Prof. Bando (Shizuoka U.), Prof. Katsuki (NAIST), Prof. Yasuike (OUJ), and Prof. Sakota (OMU).
International Symposium of JSPS Core-to-Core Program on “Elucidation of solvation effect on molecular recognition”
International Symposium of JSPS Core-to-Core Program on “Elucidation of solvation effect on molecular recognition” was held on Oct. 21-24 at Marseille, France.
Start autumn-winter semester in 2024
We start our laboratory activity in the autumn-winter semester in 2024 today.
6th Workshop on Laser Spectroscopy
18th Annual Meeting of Molecular Science
18th Annual Meeting of Molecular Science was held on September 18-21 at Kyoto University. Prof. Matsumoto and Mr. Hayano (M2) gave oral presentations “Effect on the pi electrons on an achiral aromatic molecule on chirality recognition of propylene oxide” and “Study on hydrogen-bonded structures of propargyl alcohol clusters: diversity due to pi electron”, respectively. In addition, Mr. Oyaide, Mr. Furukawa, and Ms. Nishimura gave poster presentation “Development of the optical cavity for observation of gas-phase vibrational polaritons”, “Development of the gas cell for observation of gas-phase vibrational polaritons”, and “Chiral recognition of 2,5,-dimethylpyrrole-propylene oxide clusters by IR spectroscopy”, respectively.
International Congress on Pure and Applied Chemistry
International Congress on Pure and Applied Chemistry (ICPAC) Mongolia 2024 was held on August 28-31 at Holiday Inn Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Prof. Matsumoto had an opportunity to give an invited presentation “Chirality Recognition of Propylene Oxide Dimer induced by Hydrogen bond of Achiral Pyrrole”.
