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.

Grant-in-aid for scientific research
Our research proposal, “Study on the state of vibrational strong coupling in gas-phase molecules by IR spectroscopy and cavity-QED theory“, has been adopted for Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B).
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).

International Symposium
Prof. Matsumoto presented the oral talk on “Charge resonance interaction in pyrrole dimer cation and its solvated clusters probed by IR spectroscopy” in 2nd International Symposium of JSPS Core-to-Core Program on “Molecular Recognition Mechanism between Flexible Molecules”. This symposium has been held on 10-11 March 2022, via zoom online.
JSPS Core-to-Core Program on “Molecular Recognition Mechanism between Flexible Molecules”
Prof. Matsumoto has joined as a research member in the JSPS Core-to-Core Program on “Molecular Recognition Mechanism between Flexible Molecules”. This project consists of Japanese, German and French molecular cluster research teams. The team is coordinated by Prof. Masaaki Fujii (Tokyo Tech., Japan), Prof. Otto Dopfer (TU Berlin, Germany) and Prof. Anne Zehnacker-Rentien (U. Paris-Saclay). We proceed IR spectroscopy of charge resonance aromatic dimers and clusters together with Prof. Otto Dopfer, Berlin.
