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”.

Open Seminar
We had a great open seminar on September 8, which was given by Prof. Naresh Patwari from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. The title of his talk was “Glimps of Roaming Radical Reaction”.
Defense of Master thesis
Ms. Reza Aulia (M2) had the defense of her master’s thesis on August 9. The title of her thesis is “Structural analysis of alcohol – alkylsilane dihydrogen-bonded clusters probed by IR cavity ringdown spectroscopy”.
Paper accepted
Our paper on “IR cavity ringdown spectroscopy and density functional theory calculation of pyrrole – diethyl ketone clusters: Impacts of carbon-chain flexibility on the diversity of N-H…O=C hydrogen bond” was accepted in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (DOI: 10.1039/d3cp01466e).
Visiting Ito Campus of Kyushu University
Prof. Matsumoto has visited Prof. Terasaki (Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Kyushu University) on June 30. I excitedly enjoyed the laboratory tours of Terasaki Laboratory and Onda Laboratory. Surprisingly on that day, I was so happy to have an opportunity to participate in the special lecture by Prof. Tatsuya Tsukuda (Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo).
