6th International Symposium of JSPS Core-to-Core Program

6th International Symposium of JSPS Core-to-Core Program on “Molecular Recognition Mechanism between Flexible Molecules” was held on October 16-20 at Technical University Berlin, Germany. Prof. Matsumoto had an opportunity of the oral presentation “Hydration switching on the intermolecular orientation of pyrrole dimer cations probed by IR photodissociation spectroscopy”. In addition, Mr. Yuki Hayano (M1) presented his poster “Hydrogen bonding structures of propargyl alcohol clusters probed by IR cavity ringdown spectroscopy”.

8th Asian Spectroscopy Conference 2023

8th Asian Spectroscopy Conference was held at “Atema-Kogen Highland Resort Hotel Bernatio” at Tokamachi, Niigata on September 4-7. Prof. Matsumoto participated this conference as a member of the local organizing committee. In addition, he had an opportunity of the invited oral presentation “Microscopic preference for hetero-chiral propylene oxide dimer induced by H-bond of an achiral pyrrole molecule”.

The 16th Annual Meeting of Japan Society for Molecular Science

We had the 16th Annual Meeting of Japan Society for Molecular Science on 19-22 September at Keio University (Yokohama). Ms. Arisu Hirota (M2) and Mr. Yusuke Ishihara (M2) have provided their oral and poster presentations, in which their titles are “Dual dihydrogen-bond formations of jet-cooled acetylene-alkylsilane clusters studied by IR spectroscopy” and “Study on 13C6H6 large clusters by IR spectroscopy”, respectively. Prof. Matsumoto has also presented an oral talk about “Charge resonance interactions in pyrrole dimer cations and its hydrated clusters probed by IR spectroscopy”.
