Joint research with Prof. Otto Dopfer

Prof. Matsumoto visited the laboratory of Prof. Otto Dopfer at Technical University Berlin on March 18 – 25, 2024. This was the opportunity for our joint research supported by the JSPS Bilateral Exchange Program between Japan and Germany. We proceeded to write our manuscript on IR photodissociation spectroscopy of the hydrated clusters of pyrrole dimer cations (Py2+(H2O)n).

Research presentation by undergraduate students

Three undergraduate students in our laboratory, Mr. Eiyu Mitsukawa, Ms. Haruka Nishimura, and Mr. Shintaro Koakutsu, had a research presentation for the Department of Chemistry. Their talk titles are “Simulation study on controlling optical cavity for vibrational strong coupling”, “Structural analysis of 2,5-dimethylpyrrole – water clusters by IR spectroscopy”, and “Structural analysis of 2,5-dimethylpyrrole – propylene oxide clusters by IR spectroscopy” by EM, HN, and SK, respectively.
