    s-pi半結合のモデル系となる(benzene-H2S)+ラジカルクラスターカチオンに対し、水1または2分子およびメタノール1分子によるミクロ溶媒和を行い、これまで全く情報が無かったs-pi半結合のミクロ溶媒和への安定性を赤外分光により調べた。OHおよびSH伸縮振動領域の実測スペクトルと量子化学計算による安定構造探索と赤外スペクトルシミュレーション結果を比較して、ミクロ溶媒和した(benzene-H2S)+ラジカルクラスターカチオンの構造を決定した。その結果、水1分子の付加まではs-pi半結合が保持されるが、水2分子あるいはメタノール1分子の付加により、半結合が切断され、水素結合による構造へと変化することが分かった。これにより、s-pi半結合の溶媒和に対する安定性の初めての知見が得られた。また、この結果により、半結合形成の有無を電子遷移で判定する上での有効な参照系が新たに得られ、次年度以降に予定している電子遷移観測対象の有力な候補を増すことが出来た。 また、本研究の最終的な目標のひとつである水分子の半結合形成能力の解明に関連して、(H2O-Krn)+, (n =1-3)ラジカルクラスターカチオンの赤外分光を行った。OH伸縮振動領域の観測を行い、高精度の非調和振動計算の結果と実測スペクトルを比較することにより、このクラスターにおいては水素結合に優先してH2O+カチオンとKr原子の間に半結合が形成されることを明らかにした。本研究により、水分子が形成する半結合の実験的確証が初めて得られた。

    The hemibond is a nonclassical covalent bond, in which three electrons are shared by two centers (atoms). Roles of the hemibond in radiation chemistry and biochemistry have attracted much interest. In the present study, microsolvation effects on the hemibond between hydrogen sulfide were investigated by infrared spectroscopy of model clusters in the gas phase. It was shown that the hemibond is stable to microsolvation by a single water molecules, but solvation by a single alcohol molecule easily breaks the hemibond. In addition, a new type of hemibond was found between hydrogen sulfide and pi electrons of benzene. This hemibond is a good benchmark to test the validity of density functionals to simulate hemibonds.

    Water cluster anions are a model system of the solvated electron. They have two isomer types; one is the interior type, in which the excess electron is trapped in the cavity of the cluster. Another is the surface type, in which the excess electron is bound on the surface. Though the assignment of the isomer types has been performed by infrared and photoelectron spectroscopies, their conclusions have been inconsistent. In the present study, we carried out infrared spectroscopy of large water clusters which hold a cation on their surface through a single contact water molecule. Their hydrogen bond networks are expected to be similar to those of the surface type water cluster anions. In these clusters, the hydrogen bond networks are strongly polarized to stabilize the cation. We discuss the influence of the water network polarization on the infrared spectra. In addition, we try to extend infrared spectroscopy of water cluster anions to the larger size region.

    Infrared spectroscopy was applied to methanol-water mixed clusters to probe microscopic picture of water-alcohol mixture. At the first stage, we studied neutral and protonated methanol clusters, of which structures have not been well established in large sizes. We demonstrated that the clusters form simple cyclic structures (or bicyclic structures in the protonated clusters) in the size range of 10 - 50. At the second stage, we studied structures of methanol-water mixed clusters and confirmed that clathlate structures in which a water molecule is surrounded by methanol molecules are formed at specific sizes.

    We have studied development of hydrogen bond networks in protic solvents such as water and methanol by using molecular clusters as microscopic model systems of their condensed phases, and following results have been obtained. 1.Infrared spectroscopy of size-selected protonated water H^+(H_2O)_n was carried out up to n=100. It showed that a single excess proton totally changes the hydrogen bond structure of surrounding 100 water molecules. 2.Infrared spectroscopy of protonated methanol H^+(MeOH)_n was also performed up to n=15. We demonstrated that the hydrogen bond network structure of protonated methanol is very different from that of protonated water, and it has much simpler structure, of which geometrical development is terminated by formation of the bicyclic structures. 3.Infrared spectra of size-selected methanol-water mixed protonated clusters H^+(MeOH)_2(H_2O)_n were observed. In the two extreme cases, nm and n<<m, were studied, and the following features of the hydrogen bond network were shown. a)In the case of m<<n, a few methanol molecules are compatible with water in the hydrogen bond network, and the same three-dimensional cage structure as that in the protonated water cluster is formed. b)When a small number of water molecules are added to the hydrogen bond network of protonated methanol, structural changes of the network occur, and the proton is transferred from the methanol site to the water site. 4.We also performed infrared spectroscopy of benzene cation clusters solvated by protic solvents such as water, methanol, and ammonia. We observed the solvation structure changes correlated to the proton affinity of the solvent molecule, and we found an intermolecular covalent bond formation between the benzene cation moiety and solvent molecule moiety, which can be regarded as an intermediate in the nucleophilic substitution reaction.

    In this project, we have been intended to develop a new experimental setup for laser spectroscopic investigation of size-selected hydrogen-bonded clusters, and have been aiming for the molecular-level investigation on structures of water-solvated systems. In this year, we have mostly performed the followings: 1. Instrumental Development : We have established a new instrument for IR dissociation spectroscopy combined with a tandem Q-pole mass analyzer with an Octapole ion guide. The instrument allows us to size-selected spectroscopy of cluster species with mass size of 2000 amu. We also have developed another new spectroscopic method involving laser double resonance techniques combined with IR and the vacuum ultraviolet light. This allows us to perform spectroscopic investigation of cluster structure of fundamental chemical compounds, such as NH_3. 2. Studies on Hydrogen-Bond-Network Structures : By using the new tandem mass analyzer, we have performed the size-selected IR spectroscopy on the hydrogen-bonding network structures of protonated water clusters with the size upto 100-mer. The results represent that the characteristic spectral feature continues even at 100-mer, exhibiting the network structure characterized by the proton core in the clusters. The resulthas been published in an international journal, as a communication paper. Also the spectroscopic studies on network formations of the water/methanol mixture systems have been performed and the results have been published. By using IR-VUV double resonance spectroscopic method, we have investigated cluster structures of non-protonated NH3 as well as the neutrals, which is the first spectroscopic investigation of the species, so that the result has been published as a letter paper. 3. Spectroscopic Investigations on Novel and/or Extremely Week Hydrogen Bonded Systems : We have found a novel hydrogen-bonded clusters involving a compound with a Si-H group for the first time, and the IR spectroscopic investigation combined with theoretical calculations has revealed the clusters are really formed by the di-hydrogen bond, which is known to occur between two hydrogen sites. The result has been published in an international journal.

    There are two isomeric forms in naphthol, depending on the orientation of hydroxyl group with respect to the naphthalene ring, which are called cis and trans. The existence of the two rotational isomers was first proposed by Ito and coworkers by uses of laser spectroscopic technique combined with a supersonic jet. Later, Pratt and coworkers assigned them by analyzing rotationally resolved electronic spectrum of jet cooled naphthol. Since then, the possibility of the laser manipulation of cis【tautomer】trans isomerization has been discussed by several researchers. Up to now, however, it has not been realized yet. In this research, we aimed to manipulate the cis【tautomer】trans isomerization for electronically excited by use of UV-IR stepwise excitation in a supersonic jet. First, a specific isomer was selectively excited to the S_1 state with a tunable UV laser pulse. The molecule or cluster in S_1 is further excited to its X-H stretching vibration by the IR laser pulse, where X refers to the C,O or N atom. The energy put in to the X-H stretching vibration is immediately redistributed into other vibrartional modes by IVR, and part of them will flow into the iromerization coordinate. If the energy is large enough to overcome the isomerization barrier, the reaction will occur and the product emits fluorescence. We investigated not only bare molecule but also the hydrogen-bonded clusters and found that the reaction does not occur for bare molecule within the examined energy region up to 3510 cm^<-1>. On the other hand, the reaction occurred at 2900 cm^<-1> for hydrogen-bonded clusters. Such a larger reduction indicates that H-bond acts as a catalyst for the reaction. Furthermore, we fond in the clusters the cis-trans isomerization occurs very efficiently at low IR frequency but the yield decrease rapidly with the energy due to the competition with the dissociation of H-bond within the same isomer. The isomerization occurred both 1- and 2-napthol H-bonded clusters and the barrier height seems to be similar between them. Parallel to the experiments, we performed DFT and time-dependent DFT calculation to obtain the isomerization barrier height and to investigate the effect of H-bond in S_0, S_1 and S_2 states. Thought the calculation predicted large increase of the barrier height in S_1, it failed the decrease of the height upon the H-bond formation. Further calcuation is in progress.

    1.Geometric structures and the excited-state proton-dislocation in size-selected clusters of salicylic acids (salicylic acid and 5-methoxysalicylic acid) with water or methanol were studied by using laser spectroscopic techniques. Fluorescence excitation, dispersed fluorescence, and infrared (IR) spectra of those clusters in supersonic jets were examined for both the electronic ground and first excited states. The geometric structures of the clusters were determined on the basis of the IR spectra of the OH stretch region with a help of quantum chemical calculations. The hydroxyl group of the water or methanol moiety in the clusters forms a ring involving the carboxylic group of the salicylic acid moiety. The intramolecular hydrogen bond in the salicylic acid moiety is still held upon the cluster formation. The puzzling IR spectra in the electronic excited state were analyzed in combination with a partial deuteration study. The IR spectra in the excited state and dispersed fluorescence spectra indicated that the intramolecular excited state proton dislocation is hardly affected by the microsolvation with water or methanol, in contrast with the strong suppression of the dislocation in the self-salvation. A drastic reduction of the acidity of the carboxylic OH upon the electronic excitation was also found. 2.Substitution effects on the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in the salicylic acid (SA) frame were studied by electronic and infrared spectroscopy of jet-cooled 5-methoxylsalicylic acid (5-McOSA), 5-methylsalicylic acid (5-MeSA), 5-fluorosalicylic acid (5-FSA), 6-fluorosalicylie acid (6-FSA), and methyl salicylate (MS). Infrared spectra were measured in the 3 mm region for both the electronic ground (S_0) and first excited (S_1) states. The electronic excitation/emission spectra of 5-MeSA and 6-FSA showed the typical spectral features of ESIPT, which have been found in the spectra of SA. On the other hand, 5-MeOSA and 5-FSA exhibit a mirror-image relation between their excitation and emission spectra, which has been regarded as a result of the suppression of ESIPT. Despite of such a remarkable difference among the electronic spectra, IR spectroscopy exhibits that a drastic change of the phenolic OH stretching vibration does occur upon the electronic excitation of all the substituted SAs, that is, the phenolic OH band of all the SAs disappears from the 3 mm region, indicating a large elongation of the phenolic O-H bond (over 0.1 Å) in S_1. This result represents that the intramolecular hydrogen-bond strength is remarkably enhanced upon the electronic excitation in all the substituted SAs. Substitution effects on ESIPT in dimers are also discussed.

    CH stretching vibrations of jet-cooled benzene-acetylene and several aromatics-acetylene clusters were observed for the characterization of the intermolecular interaction, so-called activated CH/π interaction between the acidic CH group and π-electrons, under the well-defined condition. The infrared-ultraviolet double resonance spectroscopic techniques were used to measure Infrared spectra of the jet-cooled clusters. The antisymmetric CH stretching vibration of the acetylene moiety exhibits substantial low-frequency shifts upon the cluster formation with the aromatic molecules, indicating such cluster structures that acetylenic CH Is bound to the π-electrons of the aromatic ring. The magnitude of the low-frequency shifts Increased with increase of the π-electron density of the ring, as expected for an ordinary π-hydrogen bond. On the other hand, the polarizability of the proton accepting molecules showed a weakly negative correlation with the CN frequency shifts.

    We have developed a new equipment for spectroscopic measurements of size-selected molecular cluster ions, as well as molecular fragment ions. The setup consists of a supersonic molecular beam source, and ionization section, a Q-pole mass filter for size-selection, an ion trap cell combined with laser photodissociation section, and a second Q-pole mass analyzer with a ion detector. With this setup, spectroscopic measurements for electronic and vibrational transitions of cations can be performed. Major results at the present stage of the project are the following : 1. A new infrared (IR) spectroscopic technique for jet-cooled molecular cations is developed. The method involves two-color laser excitation via neural excited state to high Rydberg states, vibrational excitation of its ion core with IR light, and vibrational autoionization of the ion core. It has been applied for the several compounds ; (1) Observation of OH stretching vibrations of substituted phenol cations to investigate intramolecular hydrogen bonds in ionic states. (2) Observation of CH stretching vibrations of aromatic hydrocarbon cations to study the inaccessible vibrational levels with conventional methods. 2. IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy of size-selected molecular clusters is established for the investigation of their intermolecular binding structures in combination with ab initio quantum mechanical calculations.

    An experimental setup for the picosecond IR-UV double resonance spectroscopy has been constructed. The setup was developed to study the vibrational relaxation of molecular clusters formed in a supersonic beam. The setup consists of a mode-locked picosecond Nd:YAG laser and an opto-parametric system. A fundamental of the Nd:YAG laser is converted to 3 μm by OPG with the use of nonlinear crystal, which is used to pump the clusters to the CH or OH stretching vibration. A picosecond tunable UV light was also generated by the OPG system, which is used to monitor the vibratinally excited clusters by resonant enhance ionization. The two laser pulses were irradiated to the clusters in the supersonic beam. By changing the delay time between the IR and the UV pulses, the time profiles of the vibratinally excited states were monitored. It was found that the OH stretching vibration of phenol is 15 picoseconds and those its clusters are much faster.

    A new technique for infrared spectroscopy of isolated bare molecular ions in a supersonic jet was developed. High Rydberg states, of which ion core has the same structure as the corresponding bare ion, were state-selectively pumped by two-color double resonance excitation. Infrared absorption of the ion core was measured by detecting molecular ions produced by vibrational autoionization. By using this technique, which is called "autoionization-detected infrared (ADIR) spectroscopy", the following results have been obtained ; (a) The OH stretching vibrations of fluorophenol and methoxyphenol cations were observed, providing the first direct evidence for intramolecular hydrogen bonds in molecular cations. (b) The OH stretching vibration of the cresol cation was observed, and it was found that the OH frequency showed clear dependence on the orientation to the neighboring methyl group. This result indicates the presence of a new type of intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl and methyl groups. (c) The first observation of CH stretching vibrations in aromatic cations were performed. The aromatic and alkyl CH stretches in the ethyiphenol cation were observed, and the aromatic CH showed high-frequency shifts upon the ionization.

    本研究の目的は近年開発された孤立気相分子・クラスターに対する赤外分光法を分子内水素結合を持つ化合物に適用し、OH伸縮振動の観測により孤立条件下における分子内水素結合の様相を明らかにするとともに、クラスター形成によるその変化を溶媒和との関連において微視的に理解することである。研究対象には分子内水素結合をもつ代表的な分子であるトロポロンを選び、単体に加えてトロポロン-水、-メタノールクラスターのOH振動領域赤外スペクトルを超音速ジェット中の孤立気相状態で観測した。 トロポロン単体の赤外スペクトルにはOH振動は観測されず、これは分子内水素結合の影響であると考えられる。水及びメタノールとのクラスターはともに溶媒分子による強いOH振動バンドを示すが、小サイズのクラスターでは依然としてトロポロンのOH振動はスペクトルに現れず、溶媒分子との水素結合形成にも関わらず、分子内水素結合が保持されているものと解釈された。水が3分子、メタノールでは2分子が付着すると、トロポロンのOH振動バンドが現れ始め、分子内水素結合が切れて分子間のそれへと変化していることが分かった。これは水溶液中におけるトロポロンの弱酸性がこのサイズの溶媒和で発現し始めていることを示している。

    分子クラスターイオンは、イオンの溶媒和を分子レベルで理解する上で重要な情報を与えるものであり、その構造の解明が期待されている。分子構造の研究においては、赤外分光法が最も強力な手段の一つである。しかし、クラスターイオンへの適用は、クラスターイオンの生成とサイズ選別、そして微弱な赤外吸収の検出等の様々な困難のため、非常に研究例が少ない。そこで本研究では、新たな高感度赤外分光法の開発を行った。 クラスターイオンは、従来の様に中性クラスターを光イオン化させるのではなく、単分子をイオン化した後に、細管中で溶媒分子と衝突させることにより生成させた。この方法により、クラスターイオンの生成量を従来より一桁以上増加させた。クラスターイオンのサイズを選択するために、イオントラップ法を用いた。クラスターイオンはかご型のセルに導入され、ラジオ周波数の交流電場をセルに印加する。電場の強度を調整することにより、特定のサイズのクラスターイオンのみを選択してトラップ中に封じ込めた。差周波法により発生させた波長可変赤外レーザー光をイオントラップセル入射し、多光子吸収による解離フラグメントを検出した。この方法により、ごくわずかな赤外吸収を感度良く捉えることが出来、クラスターイオンの赤外吸収スペクトルの観測が可能となった。 具体的な系としては、「フェノール・水」水素結合クラスターイオンを選び、そのOH伸縮振動の赤外分光を行った。フェノールイオンに付着する水分子の数を1-4個と変化させて、それぞれの赤外吸収スペクトルを観測した。スペクトルの解析から、付着する水分子の数が3個以上となると、フェノールイオンから水クラスターヘプロトンが移動反応が起きることが分かった。

    レーザー多光子イオン化分光法により、NO分子の高電子軌道角運動量状態、ngリドベルグ状態(n=11-67,v=0,1)を観測することに成功した。電子雲の重なりがないため基底状態からの遷移確率が全くない高電子角軌道運動量状態を励起するため、三波長三重共鳴法を用いた。具体的には、まず第1のレーザー光によりNO分子を基底状態からA状態へ励起し、続いて第2のレーザー光により4fリドベルグ状態へと励起する。そして第3のレーザー光により4f状態からngリドベルグ状態へと励起を行った。ng←4f遷移はリドベルグ状態間での遷移であるので、フランク・コンドン因子によりDELTAv=0の振動選択則が厳しく働く。これに4f状態で単一回転準位を選んでることから角運動量選択則による制限が加わり、状態密度が非常に高いエネルギー領域であるにも関わらず、単一回転準位まで分離して観測することが可能になった。 観測されたエネルギー準位は長距離力モデルを用いた理論計算により実験誤差の範囲内で完全に再現され、このモデルの高軌道角運動量状態に対する有効性を実証した。 高軌道角運動量状態の動力学に関して、理論的予測が為されていた高速自動イオン化過程の存在が、初めて実証的に確認された。イオン化強度の時間変化から自動イオン化速度が見積もられ、理論値と良い一致をみた。また、今まで全く予想されていなかった前期解離過程の存在が発見され、高電子軌道角運動量状態においても前期解離の果たす役割が無視し得ないことが分かった。 本研究は高い主量子数の高電子軌道角運動量状態を状態選択的に調べた初めての例であり、ゼロ運動エネルギー光電子分光法や星間化学的、高電子軌道角運動量状態が重要な役割を果たしている諸分野に基礎的な情報を与えた。

    Experiments on laser resonance spectroscopy on metastable antiprotonic atoms were carried out at CERN. When a pulsed laser with an energy matched to a transition from a metastable state to a short lived state is fired after the arrival of an antiproton, a sharp spike is expected to appear on a delayed part of the antiproton annihilation time spectrum. We used the antiproton beam of 200MeV/c from the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) of CERN. We discovered a sharp spike at a laser wave length of 597.26nm which was assigned to a resonance transition from the (n, iota) =(39, 35) to the (38, 34) state. Thus, we have established that the metastability of antiprotons in helium arises from the metastable states of the neutral antiprotonic helium atomcule. Regarding the search for deeply-bound pionic atoms we prepared an experiment to be done at GSI in collaboration with a group in Germany. Various experiments were carried out at the TRIUMF muon facilities. One of the purposes of this project is to obtain the basic understanding of high Tc superconductors, especially the role of the copper-oxide layer structure and the contribution of oxygen to the superconductivity. Since the intense negative muon channel at TRIUMF was built by the collaboration between UTMSL and TRIUMF, the negative muon spin rotation method (mu^-SR) has been intensively applied to this subject. By using a single crystal of good quality, precise paramagnetic shift was obtained on the LaSrCuO system with its dependence on temperature, on dopant concentration and on magnetic field direction with respect to the crystal axis. The relaxation of negative muonic oxygen (mu^-O) has also been studied to get the dynamic aspect of the electron spin. One remarkable achievement is the success of the separation of mu^-O signals for different oxygen sites, which gives the hints for the role of oxygen. Also for water knowledge of chemical state of mu^-O can be obtained. For the basic understanding of mu^-O in metal oxides, the study of mu^-O in 3d transition metal oxides is inevitable. The study is performed on various 3d-transition metal oxides, especially the precise measurement of temperature dependence of paramagnetic shift in MnO reveals an interesting local magnetic ordering. Some of these achievements were reported at the muSR international conference in Maui.
