    Cyclopentane‐1,3‐diyl diradicals (DRs) provide excellent opportunities to study the properties of diradicals because their lifetimes can be significantly lengthened to up to milliseconds with the introduction of proper substituents. This study investigated the bonding characteristics of singlet and triplet DRs having C=O and p‐cyanophenyl groups (S‐DR3 and T‐DR3) by monitoring the photo‐induced formation of the diradicals from their precursor azo compounds using time‐resolved IR (TR‐IR) spectroscopy. Upon the formation of S‐DR3, a C=O stretching wavenumber was upshifted by 22 cm−1, whereas a C≡N stretching one was downshifted by 12 cm−1. The observed shifts indicate that the unpaired electrons increase and decrease the C=O and C≡N bond orders, respectively. The effects of the unpaired electrons in S‐DR3 were similar to those observed in our previous TR‐IR studies on a singlet cyclopentane‐1,3‐diyl diradical having C=O but no C≡N groups (S‐DR2) and on that having C≡N but no C=O groups (S‐DR1), respectively. Contrastingly, upon the formation of T‐DR3, the C=O wavenumber was downshifted by 16 cm−1, indicating that the unpaired electrons decrease the C=O bond order. More notably, no detectable shifts were observed in the C≡N stretching wavenumber. These observations are not clearly explained by a model suggested in the previous studies on S‐DRs. Here, we discuss and propose a more elaborated resonance hybrid of DRs that can explain the directions and relative magnitudes of the observed wavenumber shifts irrespective of spin multiplicities. We expect that the findings and suggestions presented here will stimulate research in both organic and theoretical chemistry., 11 Oct. 2023, 37, 2, Scientific journal, 10.1002/poc.4575

    time-resolved infrared (TR-IR) spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. Here, the
    photo-induced ring-opening reaction from flav-3-en-2-ol to trans-2-hydroxychalcone is
    discussed. A vibrational band due to a C=O stretching mode of an intermediate species, enol
    form of 2-hydroxychalcone, was detected at 1632 cm-1 in TR-IR spectra obtained after
    photoexcitation of flav-3-en-2-ol. We also found that a vibrational band at 1664 cm-1, where a
    C=O stretching mode of trans-2-hydroxychalcone appears, appeared immediately after the
    photoexcitation and increased in intensity upon depletion of the enol intermediate. The DFT
    calculation showed that the enol intermediate has no vibrational modes at around the 1664
    cm-1. These findings indicate that trans-2-hydroxychalcone is produced not only via the enol
    intermediate but also directly from flav-3-en2-ol without via the enol intermediate., False

    まず,ゾルゲル法によってCaF2(Φ20×t5)上にシリカ薄膜(厚み~100 nm)をコートした.この基板上の有機単分子膜を内部反射配置でHD-VSFG測定するには,試料と同じ面に,参照試料を準備する必要がある.そこでシリカコート面の一部に,スパッタ法で銀薄膜を蒸着した.試料の絶対配向の情報を含んだ量である絶対的な非線形感受率を得るには,その基準となる銀の絶対的な感受率が必要である.そこで,リン脂質DPPCの脂質膜を用いて銀の絶対的な感受率を決定した.DPPCのアルキル鎖が上を向けた脂質膜の絶対的な感受率と,下を向けた膜のものでは,その符号が反転する.このことを利用して,それぞれの膜を,外部および内部反射配置でHD-VSFG測定した結果から,シリカコートCaF2に蒸着した銀薄膜の感受率の値を決定した., Competitive research funding, kaken

In this study, we constructed a TIR-TG apparatus and applied it to diffusion coefficient measurements of stilbene in a dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) lipid bilayer membrane at a silica/water interface. As a result, we found that the stilbene molecules in the DMPC bilayer membrane show two different diffusion coefficients. This result indicates that the DMPC membrane is an inhomogeneous environment that can be described with two different effective viscosities., Competitive research funding, url

First, we performed the steady-state THz spectroscopy on aqueous ionic solutions. As a result, we successfully obtained an experimental evidence for the existence of the ion effects that weaken hydrogen bonding structure in solution, demonstrating the effectiveness of THz spectroscopy for studies on a solution sample. Second, a window-less method using a liquid sheet was developed. This method salves the problem of damaging windows due to a strong pump laser pulse in the conventional method using a solution sample cell. Here, a nozzle which can produce a liquid sheet with controllable thickness from 50 to 120 micrometer has been developed and optimized to THz spectroscopy., url
