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).

Research proposal is accepted

Our research proposal “Study on aromatic charge resonance complex probed by IR spectroscopy” has been accepted by the Network Joint Research Center for Materials and Devices. This study will collaborate with Prof. Shun-ichi Ishiuchi at Tokyo Institute of Technology. We will study IR spectroscopy of solvated clusters with pyrrole dimer cations to investigate the relationship between solvated structures and intra-cluster charge distribution.

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).

5th Joint Research Prize

Prof. Matsumoto won the 5th Joint Research Prize from “Network Joint Research Center for Materials and Devices”. He attended the award ceremony in Centennial Hall of Kyushu University School of Medicine on June 29. The research topic for this prize is “Infrared Study on Aromatic Charge Resonance Complex”, which was collaborated with Prof. Masaaki Fujii (Director of Laboratory for Chemistry and Life Science, Institute of Innovative Research, Tokyo Institute of Technology).
