Pacifichem 2025
Prof. Matsumoto attended Pacifichem 2025 (Dec. 17-20, Honolulu, Hawai) and presented our research progress at two symposia. One presentation is “Intermolecular structures of jet-cooled molecular large clusters in gas-phase studied by two-dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy” at the symposium “Horizon of 2D Correlation Spectroscopy”. The other presentation is “Chirality recognition of propylene oxide dimer induced by hydrogen bond with pyrrole as an achiral tag” at the symposium “Synergy of Theory and Experiments in Exploring Molecular Functionality in Supramolecules and Molecular Clusters in the Gas Phase”.
Intensive lecture
Prof. Matsumoto had an opportunity to give an intensive lecture at Kyushu University in Dec. 4-5. The title of this lecture is “Molecular Science in an Optical Cavity”.
annual meeting of japan society for molecular science
We attended the 19th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society for Molecular Science at Hiroshima on September 9-12. Mr. Eiyu Mitsukawa and Kaichi Miyashita gave their poster presentations titled “Precise control of an optical cavity to observe gas-phase vibrational polaritons” and “Measurement of cavity transmission spectra to study on gas-phase vibrational polaritons”, respectively.
Our article was published
Our paper “Solvent-dimer-mediated clusters as a microscopic model of solution: IR spectroscopy and density functional theory of jet-cooled pyrrole-tetrahydrofuran clusters” was published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.
40th Symposium on Chemical Kinetics and Dynamics
We participated the 40th Symposium on Chemical Kinetics and Dynamics, held at Kobe University on June 4-6. Mr. Eiyu Mitsukawa (M2) gave a poster presentation “Precise control of an optical cavity to observe gas-phase vibrational polaritons”.
Laboratory tour and banquet
In the Department of Chemistry, we provided the laboratory tour and banquet inviting B3 students on May 30. This is an opportunity to encourage students to consider a laboratory assignment in the future.
Laser spectroscopy workshop
Our laboratory members participated “Laser Spectroscopy Workshop” at Gotemba on May 23-24. This workshop is annual meeting jointly by five laboratories from Science Tokyo, Kitasato University, and Shizuoka University. We enjoyed oral and poster presentations with beer, wine, and sake.
Starting the spring-summer semester of 2025
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.
