Size-selected linear sp-carbon chain molecules of hydrogen-capped polyyne C12H2 are dispersed in stretched polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films to align them along the direction of stretching of the film. The order parameter for anisotropic molecular orientation is determined from the angular dependence of UV absorption band intensities using linearly polarized incident light. Phosphorescence spectra at cryogenic temperature of 20 K of aligned C12H2 polyyne molecules in the stretched PVA film exhibit anisotropic properties, namely linearly polarized luminescence (LPL). Molecular orientation is modeled by the |cosθ|N distribution of linear molecules to simulate angle-dependent polarized optical emission intensities. The ensemble of aligned polyyne molecules is demonstrated to be an ideal molecular system for consideration of linear dichroism in LPL as well as in photo absorption. - Ryoma Ohno; Kei Ota; Nagisa Nishimura; Kanta Taniguchi; Shuma Kurokawa; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Miho Hatanaka; Alfredo Rosas-Sánchez; Daisuke Hashizume; Tsukasa MatsuoJournal of the American Chemical Society American Chemical Society (ACS) 0002-7863 2024/08 [Refereed]

A differential scanning calorimeter equipped with a shearing system (shear rate of < 400 s-1) was developed to elucidate the thermodynamic properties of liquid crystalline phase transitions under shear flow. An analytical method was proposed to accurately estimate the heat flow caused by shear friction to evaluate the transition entropies. The phase transitions of 4'-n-octyl-4-cyano-biphenyl (8CB) under shear flow were investigated using the developed calorimeter. Although several shear-induced transitions for 8CB have been reported in the past using viscosity and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements, only the nematic-isotropic (N-I) and smectic-A-nematic (SA-N) transitions were detected as heat flow peaks. The N-I transition temperature was almost independent of the shear rate. The SA-N transition temperature was also independent of the shear rate, but the transition peak was broadened by applying shear flow. For both transitions, the transition entropies were independent of the shear rate. These results suggest that the thermodynamic properties were not considerably changed by shearing because the molecular alignments in the domains were not substantially changed, whereas shearing changed the LC domain directions, which can be detected by viscosity and SAXS measurements. - M.

Laser-ablated polyyne molecules, H(C≡C)nH, were separated by size in solutions and co-condensed with excess hexane molecules at a cryogenic temperature of 20 K in a vacuum system. The solid matrix samples containing C8H2, C10H2, and C12H2 molecules were irradiated with UV laser pulses and the phosphorescence 0–0 band was observed at 532, 605, and 659 nm, respectively. Vibrational progression was observed for the symmetric stretching mode of the carbon chain in the ground state with increments of ~2190 cm−1 for C8H2, ~2120 cm−1 for C10H2, and ~2090 cm−1 for C12H2. Temporal decay analysis of the phosphorescence intensity revealed the lifetimes of the triplet state as ~30 ms for C8H2, ~8 ms for C10H2, and ~4 ms for C12H2. The phosphorescence excitation spectrum reproduces UV absorption spectra in the hexane solution and in the gas phase at ambient temperature, although the excitation energy was redshifted. The symmetry-forbidden vibronic transitions were observed for C10H2 by lower excitation energies of 25,500–31,000 cm−1 (320–390 nm). Detailed phosphorescence excitation patterns are discussed along the interaction of the polyyne molecule and solvent molecules of hexane. - Taro Yamamoto; Yusuke Yagi; Toshimitsu Hatakeyama; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Tadashi Kamiyama; Hal SuzukiColloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects 625 0927-7757 2021/09 [Refereed]
The thermodynamic properties of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/water system were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (235–395 K) and adiabatic calorimetry (78–320 K), and the stable phase diagram was established, in which the locations of phase boundaries were precisely determined. The micellar phase and the lyotropic liquid crystalline (LC) phases were found to transform into a metastable gel phase via rapid cooling, and a metastable phase diagram was also constructed. The hexagonal LC phase was found to consist of two types of phases with different thermodynamic characteristics. The transitions from the separated two-phase “CTAB crystal + solution” to the micellar and LC phases were also investigated, and it was found that the transition occurs in a two-step manner, wherein the transitions at lower temperatures depended on the thermal history. The enthalpy of fusion of the ice that coexisted with the CTAB crystal did not provide any evidence for the CTAB crystal being hydrated by non-freezing water. - Urszula Szczepaniak; Kazunori Ozaki; Kaito Tanaka; Yuma Ohnishi; Yoriko Wada; Jean Claude Guillemin; Claudine Crépin; Robert Kołos; Yusuke Morisawa; Hal Suzuki; Tomonari WakabayashiJournal of Molecular Structure 1214 0022-2860 2020/08 [Refereed]
© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Cyanopolyyne molecules, HC9N and HC11N, were isolated in solutions and UV, IR, and resonance Raman spectra were measured for the study of their electronic and vibrational properties. Strong signals were observed both in the IR and resonance Raman spectra for the stretching vibrational mode of the sp-hybridized linear carbon chain in the electronic ground state, i.e., σ4 at 2141 cm−1 for HC9N and σ6 at 2105 cm−1 for HC11N. Trapped in cryogenic solid acetonitrile matrix hosts at 20 K, transitions in phosphorescence, a˜3Σ+ → X˜1Σ+, were observed for HC9N at 582.3 nm (0–0) and longer wavelengths and for HC11N at 643.7 nm (0–0) and longer wavelengths. Electronic transitions in the UV, 1Σ+ ← X˜1Σ+, were elucidated by phosphorescence excitation mapping to observe asymmetric patterns with sharp emission-absorption features explainable by Shpolsky effects. For HC9N, three distinct trapping sites were discernible in solid acetonitrile, while the phosphorescence spectra were blurred in solid n-hexane. The observed phosphorescence lifetime of HC9N was longer than that of HC11N, comparable to the trend reported for the series of cyanopolyyne molecules in solid krypton matrix hosts. - Tomonari Wakabayashi; Takamasa Momose; Mario E.

Attenuated total reflectance–far ultraviolet (ATR-FUV) spectra of Li+ and polyether ligands, such as glymes and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), in solution give information about changes in the electronic states of the ligands. From the ATR-FUV spectra, the coordination numbers between Li+ and monoglyme, diglyme, triglyme, and PEG400 were determined to be 4, 5, 6, and 5, respectively. Our results indicate that Li+ is coordinated only by the ligands rather than its counter-ions. - Nami Ueno; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Harumi Sato; Yusuke MorisawaJOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A AMER CHEMICAL SOC 123 (50) 10746 - 10756 1089-5639 2019/12 [Refereed]
This study investigates the electronic transitions of complexes of lithium with polyethylene glycol (PEG) by the absorption bands of solvent molecules via attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy in the far-UV region (ATR-FUV). Alkali-metal complexes are interesting materials because of their functional characteristics such as good ionic conductivity. These complexes are used as polymer electrolytes for Li batteries and as one of the new types of room-temperature ionic liquids, termed solvation ionic liquids. Considering these applications, alkali-metal complexes have been studied mainly for their electrochemical characteristics; there is no fundamental study providing a clear understanding of electronic states in terms of electronic structures for the ground and excitation states near the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest occupied molecular orbital transitions. This study explores the electronic transitions of ligand molecules in alkali-metal complexes. In the ATR-FUV spectra of the Li-PEG complex, a decrease in intensity and a large blue shift (over 4 nm) were observed to result from an increase in the concentration of Li salts. This observation suggests the formation of a complex, with coordinate bonding between Li+ and the O atoms in PEG. Comparison of the experimental spectrum with a simulated spectrum of the Li-PEG complex calculated by time-dependent density functional theory indicated that changes in the intensities and peak positions of bands at approximately 155 and 177 nm (pure PEG shows bands at 155, 163, and 177 nm) are due to the formation of coordinate bonding between Li+ and the O atoms in the ether molecule. The intensity of the 177 nm band depends on the number of residual free O atoms in the ether, and the peak wavelength at approximately 177 nm changes with the expansion of the electron clouds of PEG. We assign a band in the 145-155 nm region to the alkali-metal complex because we observed a new band at approximately 150 nm in the ATR-FUV spectra of very highly concentrated binary mixtures. - Takizawa, N.; Kodama, T.; Shiromaru, H.; Wakabayashi, T.; Al-Tuairqi, S.; Wang, Q.; Zhang, H.; S; erson, J.H.Carbon 152 372 - 375 0008-6223 2019/11 [Refereed]
© 2019 Elsevier Ltd We studied polyyne formation by gas phase laser-induced breakdown in ethylene and acetylene gas flow using ns and fs lasers. The results show that acetylene is the most efficient target molecule for generating polyynes with high selectivity. Of the two lasers, the fs laser achieved higher selectivity for the production of hydrogen-capped polyynes. We also confirmed strong correlations between C2 radical and polyyne production, which have already been observed for larger hydrocarbon targets. In terms of the polyyne formation mechanism, we suggest decomposition of irradiated soot to be a possible pathway, in addition to carbon chain growth by binary collisions. - Asuka Endo; Miho Hatanaka; Nami Ueno; Yusuke Morisawa; Tomonari WakabayashiLOW TEMPERATURE PHYSICS AMER INST PHYSICS 45 (7) 689 - 696 1063-777X 2019/07 [Refereed][Invited]
The A-X transition of diatomic bismuth, Bi-2, was revisited by laser induced fluorescence in solid Ne at 3K. Molecular constants, i.e., vibrational frequencies of 137cm(-1) and 174cm(-1), were reproduced for the upper and lower electronic states as reported by Bondybey et al. [Chem. Phys. Lett. 76, 30 (1980)]. Two-dimensional mapping of emission spectra confirmed satellite bands in higher and lower excitation/emission energies for each of the major bands in the vibrational progression of v '-v '' (v '=0-5, v ''=5-12). Based on the molecular orbital calculations, presence of clusters, Bi2Nen (n=1-6), is proposed for possible carriers of the observed satellites. For the relatively large matrix shift of similar to 67cm(-1) in solid Ne for the term energy of the A state, the diatomic bismuth is supposed to exist as a linearly coordinated cluster of Bi2Ne in the matrix. - R.

© 2019 Chinese Physical Society. Electronic absorption bands of conjugated linear carbon chain molecules, namely polyynes H(CC) n H (n=5-7), are exploited to devise light-polarizing films applicable to the UV. Laser ablated polyynes are separated in size and dispersed in a film of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which is stretched to align the trapped linear polyyne molecules inside. As a nature of the structural anisotropy, transition dipole of the UV absorption for polyyne molecules is in parallel with the molecular axis and the absorption occurs only for the electromagnetic wave having the amplitude of its electric vector along the molecular axis. Aligned and fixed orientationally in the solid PVA film, polyyne molecules act as selective absorbers of one of the polarization components of incident light at particular wavelength. Using a light source of linearly polarized UV light, whose direction of polarization is rotatable, angular dependence of the absorption intensity is investigated for the stretched PVA film containing aligned polyyne molecules and analyzed in terms of an order parameter in the theory of linear dichroism. - Hatanaka M; Wakabayashi TJournal of computational chemistry 40 (2) 500 - 506 0192-8651 2019/01 [Refereed]

We measured the attenuated total reflectance-far ultraviolet (ATR-FUV) spectra of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG; average molecular weights of 200, 300, and 400) and related materials in the liquid state in the 145-200-nm wavelength region. For appropriately assigning the absorption bands, we also performed theoretical simulation of the unit-number dependent electronic spectra. The FUV spectra of PEGs contain three bands, which are assigned to the transitions between n(CH2OCH2)-3s Rydberg state (176 nm), n(CH2OCH2)-3p Rydberg state (163 nm), and n(OH)-3p Rydberg state (153 nm). Since the contribution of n(OH) decreases compared to n (CH2OCH2) with increase in the number of units, the ratios of the molar absorption coefficients, epsilon, at 153 nm relative to 163 nm, decrease. On the other hand, the ratio of epsilon at 176 nm to that at 163 nm increases with increase in the number of units, because of the difference in the number of unoccupied orbitals in the transitions. The calculated results suggest that n orbitals form two electronic bands. In the upper band, the electrons expand over the ether chain, whereas in the lower band, the electrons are localized in the terminal OH in the PEGs. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.

Terbium complexes are widely used as luminescent materials because of their bright green emission and sharp emission spectra and the independence of their emission wavelengths from the surrounding environment. The luminescence quantum yield (LQY), however, heavily depends on the surroundings, and an appropriate ligand design is indispensable. In this study, we focus on a Tb3+ complex coordinated by a 2,2′-bipyridine derivative ligand (L1), whose LQY is almost zero at room temperature [M. Hasegawa et al., New. J. Chem. 2014, 38, 1225] and compare it with a Tb3+ complex with a bipyridine ligand, which is widely used as a photo-antenna ligand. To discuss the LQYs of the complexes, we computed their energy profiles, i.e. the energetic and structural changes during the emission and quenching processes. The low LQY of the TbL1(NO3)2 complex was explained by the stability of the minimum energy crossing point between the potential energy surfaces of the ligand-centered lowest triplet state and the ground state, which was induced by the out-of-plane bending of the azomethine moiety. The most efficient way to improve the LQY by modification of the ligand is to replace the azomethine moieties by other functional groups, such as ether or reduced azomethine groups, whose minimum energy crossing points are unstable enough to reduce the rate of the quenching processes. - Akihiro Shimizu; Shun Horiuchi; Ryutaro Hayashi; Kouichi Matsumoto; Yu Miyamoto; Yusuke Morisawa; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Jun-ichi YoshidaARKIVOC ARKAT USA INC 2018 97 - 113 1551-7004 2018 [Refereed]
Thiirenium ions generated and accumulated by low-temperature electrochemical oxidation of disulfides in the presence of alkynes were successfully observed by low-temperature NMR, Raman, and mass spectroscopies and were found to be stable at temperatures below -40 degrees C.

Hydrogen- and methyl-capped polyynes have been synthesized by irradiating pure liquid toluene with 35 fs, 300 mu J laser pulses having a central wavelength of 800 nm, generated by a regeneratively amplified Ti: sapphire tabletop laser at a repetition rate of 1 kHz. Raman spectroscopy was used to confirm the presence of polyynes in the irradiated samples while high-performance liquid chromatography was used to separate hydrogen-capped polyynes up to C18H2 and methyl-capped polyynes up to HC14CH3. These represent the first such methyl-capped polyynes and the longest hydrogen capped chains synthesized to date by the ultrafast laser based method. Furthermore our results show that choice of the starting solvent molecule directly influences the end caps of the polyynes which can be produced. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

The reaction of the bulky diphosphenes (Rind) P=P(Rind) (1; Rind = 1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-R-substituted s-hydrindacen-4-yl) with two molecules of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC; 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) resulted in the quantitative formation of the NHC-bound phosphinidenes NHC -> P(Rind) (2), along with the cleavage of the P=P double bond. The reaction times are dependent on the steric size of the Rind groups (11 days for 2a (R=Et) and 2 h for 2b (R=Et, Me) at room temperature). The mechanism for the double bond-breaking is proposed to proceed via the formation of the NHC-coordinated, highly polarized diphospehenes 3 as an intermediate. Approach of a second NHC to 3 induces P-P bond cleavage and P-C bond formation, which proceeds through a transition state with a large negative Gibbs energy change to afford the two molecules of 2, thus being the rate-determining step of the overall reaction with the activation barriers of 80.4 for 2a and 29.1 kJ mol(-1) for 2b. - Y.

Flowing gases of hydrocarbon molecules were irradiated by tightly focused ns and fs laser, and the products were captured" in hexane solution. In the case of ns laser irradiation, short polyynes up to C12H2 were produced efficiently from all the hydrocarbons, propane, hexane, octane, benzene, and toluene. The yields vary significantly among the products from different target molecules, extending beyond the effects of difference in the vapor pressures. With an aid of the visible emission spectra" of the focused spot, polyyne forming reaction is discussed. In the case of fs laser irradiation of hexane, polyynes were produced efficiently much more than the ns-laser case, whereas for the toluene target, polyynes were not produced. Such a variation in the polyyne yield suggests there would be more suitable molecules for formation of polyynes, or any other carbon-rich materials, by gas-phase laser irradiation method.

Previous experimental studies of superradiance (SR) in multi-level systems have been explainable using the predictions of the well-known simple two-level SR model. However our recent study [K. Nakajima et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 84, 054301 (2015)] using EUV free-electron laser excitation of helium atoms, where SR was observed at wavelengths of 502, 668, and 728 nm, revealed behaviour which necessitates a full multi-level treatment of the SR development. In this paper, we report simulations of the initial excitation by the FEL pulses, and the subsequent development of multi-level SR. The results of the simulation reproduce the experimental findings, and reveal that competitive SR on two transitions with a common upper level plays an important role in the development of the system. - H.

Soluble fullerenes were produced with a somewhat unexpectedly high yield (10(-2) wt% of the evaporated carbons) by laser ablation of graphite in a 'room-temperature' argon gas flow. The high yield was likely due to the high temperature of the graphite after heating by the ablation laser. Laser ablation experiments using argon-diluted propane gas showed that fullerene formation was strongly inhibited by the addition of propane, while the formation of hydrogen-terminated, chain-form carbon molecules (polyynes) was enhanced. The reactivities of the fullerene precursors and chain-form carbon clusters are discussed based on the anticorrelation of the yields of fullerenes and polyynes. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Laser ablation of graphite in argon/propane mixed gases was performed to elucidate the process of carbon cluster growth and hydrogen termination to form polyynes. The carbon-rich materials ejected by ablation were carried by the gas flow and captured by a cooled organic solvent, and then, the soluble products were analyzed by UV absorption. The yield of polyyne increased drastically with the increase of the propane ratios. The propane-ratio-dependent yields for polyynes of various lengths are consistent with a polyyne formation model based on H-abstraction reactions of carbon clusters. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Laser-induced near-infrared (NIR) emission spectra of neutral bismuth timer, Bi-3, embedded in solid neon matrixes at 3 K were recorded in a range 870-1670 nm. Using photoexcitation with low energy photons at 1064 nm, two emission band systems were newly identified by their origin bands at T-0 = 6600 and 8470 cm(-1). Accordingly, spectral assignment for three NIR emission band systems reported recently was partly revised for the one with its origin band at T-0 = 7755 cm(-1) and reconfirmed for the others at T-0 = 9625 and 11 395 cm(-1). Energy splitting by spin-orbit coupling between the pair of electronic energy levels in the ground state of bismuth trimer, Bi-3, both having a totally symmetric vibrational mode of frequency at omega"(e) = 150 cm(-1), was determined to be 1870 +/- 1.5 cm(-1). Transitions from the pair of electronically excited states, locating at T-0 = 8470 and 9625 cm(-1) above the ground state and separated by spin-orbit coupling of 1155 cm(-1), have relatively long decay constants of tau similar to 0.2 and similar to 0.1 ms, respectively. - Ohae Chiaki; HARRIES James R.; Iwayama Hiroshi; Kuma Susumu; Miyamoto Yuki; Nggasono Mitsuru; Nakajima Kyo; Shigemasa Eiji; Wakabayashi Tomonari; Sasao NoboruMeeting Abstracts of the Physical Society of Japan The Physical Society of Japan (JPS) 70 772 - 772 2189-079X 2015

A low temperature in situ Raman spectroscopic method was developed for the detection of unstable intermediates in electro-organic chemistry. It was effective for monitoring the generation of ArS(ArSSAr)(+) by the electrochemical oxidation of ArSSAr (Ar = p-FC6H4) in Bu4NBF4/CH2Cl2 at 195 K. The intensity of a Raman band at 427 cm(-1), which is attributable to the S-S vibration of ArS(ArSSAr)(+), increased with an increase in the electricity until 2/3 F of the electricity was consumed, whereas decreased with a further increase in the electricity indicating the decomposition of ArS(ArSSAr)(+). - Chiaki Ohae; Atsushi Fukumi; Susumu Kuma; Yuki Miyamoto; Kyo Nakajima; Itsuo Nakano; Hajime Nanjo; Noboru Sasao; Satoshi Uetake; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Akihiro Yoshimi; Koji Yoshimura; Motohiko YoshimuraJOURNAL OF THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN PHYSICAL SOC JAPAN 83 (4) 0031-9015 2014/04 [Refereed]
We describe in this paper a fast and efficient method of producing a high density of barium (Ba) atoms in the D-1(2) metastable state, which is a candidate initial state for a new class of cooperative and coherent optical process called paired superradiance (PSR). In the experiment, Ba atoms are excited first by laser light to the P-1(1) state and then brought to the desired state D-1(2) via radiative transition in the superradiance (SR) mode. It is found that a production efficiency (from S-1(0) to D-1(2)) of more than similar to 30% is achieved within a time interval of a few nanoseconds for a Ba density n > 10(19) m(-3). Several key features of SR important for future PSR experiments are also studied. - Prasenjit Maity; Shinjiro Takano; Seiji Yamazoe; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Tatsuya TsukudaJOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY AMER CHEMICAL SOC 135 (25) 9450 - 9457 0002-7863 2013/06 [Refereed]
Gold clusters protected by terminal alkynes (1-octyne (OC-H), phenyl acetylene (PA-H) and 9-ethynyl-phenanthrene (EPT-H)) were prepared by the ligand exchange of small (diameter <2 nm) Au clusters stabilized by polyvinylpyrrolidone. The bonding motif of these alkynes on Au clusters was investigated using various spectroscopic methods. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy revealed that terminal hydrogen is lost during the ligand exchange and that the C C bond of the alkynyl group is weakened upon attachment to the Au clusters. Acidification of the water phase after the ligand exchange indicated that the ligation of alkynyl groups to the Au clusters proceeds via deprotonation of the alkynes. A series of precisely defined Au clusters, Au-34(PA)(16), Au-54(PA)(26), AU(30)(EPT)(13), AU(35)(EPT)(18), and Au41-43(EPT)(21-23), were synthesized and characterized in detail to obtain further insight into the interfacial structures. Careful mass analysis confirmed the ligation of the alkynes in the dehydrogenated form. An upright configuration of the alkynes on Au clusters was suggested from the Au to alkyne ratios and photoluminescence from the excimer of the EPT ligands. EXAFS analysis implied that the alkynyl carbon is bound to bridged or hollow sites on the cluster surface. - Tomonari Wakabayashi; Makiko Tomioka; Yoriko Wada; Yuki Miyamoto; Jian Tang; Kentarou Kawaguchi; Susumu Kuma; Noboru Sasao; Hajime Nanjo; Satoshi Uetake; Motohiko Yoshimura; Itsuo NakanoEUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL D SPRINGER 67 (2) 1434-6060 2013/02 [Refereed]
Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy was applied to small bismuth clusters embedded in a solid neon matrix at 3 K. Near infrared (NIR) optical emission spectra were recorded in a range of 6200-11 600 cm(-1) by an excitation with 1.79 eV photons using a pulsed dye laser system. Three new NIR band systems were identified by their origin bands at 8207, 9625 and 11 395 cm(-1). Each of the NIR systems exhibited the vibrational progression with a common lower state frequency at 151 cm(-1). Temporal decay profiles for selected NIR emission bands showed upper state lifetimes on the order of a hundred of microseconds, explainable by the transition between mixed spin states. Low-lying electronic states for small bismuth clusters, Bi-n (n = 2-4), are discussed along the theory and experiment reported so far. - Susumu Kuma; Yuki Miyamoto; Kyo Nakajima; Atsushi Fukumi; Kentarou Kawaguchi; Itsuo Nakano; Noboru Sasao; Minoru Tanaka; Jian Tang; Takashi Taniguchi; Satoshi Uetake; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Akihiro Yoshimi; Motohiko YoshimuraJOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS AMER INST PHYSICS 138 (2) 024507 0021-9606 2013/01 [Refereed]
The coherence decay of the v = 2 vibrational state (vibrons) of solid parahydrogen was measured via time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy. We found that the decay curve has a non-exponential time profile in the time scale of 200 ns at a low temperature below 5 K and a low orthohydrogen impurity concentration (similar to 0.01%). This behavior, as also observed in the case of the v = 1 vibrons, represents a signature of band structure of the v = 2 state in the solid phase. The maximum coherence decay time of 50 ns in an exponential part was achieved, which shows excellence of the v = 2 state for coherent processes. We also found that finite temperatures, orthohydrogen impurities, and other structural inhomogeneity accelerate the decay, hiding the non-exponential feature of the vibron band.

Hydrogen-capped linear carbon chain molecules, namely polyynes H(C=C)(n)H (n >= 2), give rise to three excited states in the HOMO-LUMO excitation. Electric dipole transition from the ground state is fully allowed to one of the three excited states, while forbidden for the other two low-lying excited states. In addition to the strong absorption bands in the UV for the allowed transition, the molecules exhibit weak absorption and emission bands in the near UV and visible wavelength regions. The weak features are the vibronic bands in the forbidden transition. In this article, symmetry considerations are presented for the optical transitions in the centrosymmetric linear polyyne molecule. The argument includes Herzberg-Teller expansion for the state mixing induced by nuclear displacements along the normal coordinate of the molecule, intensity borrowing from fully allowed transitions, and inducing vibrational modes excited in the vibronic transition. The vibronic coupling considered here includes off-diagonal matrix elements for second derivatives along the normal coordinate. The vibronic selection rule for the forbidden transition is derived and associated with the transition moment with respect to the molecular axis. Experimental approaches are proposed for the assignment of the observed vibronic bands. - Y. Wada; K. Koma; Y. Ohnishi; Y. Sasaki; T.

Methylpolyynes, H(C=C)(n)CH3 (n = 5-7), were photo-irradiated under the presence of iodine molecules in hexane to confirm the formation of a series of molecular complexes, H(C=C)(n)CH3(I-6) (n = 5-7), by systematic changes in their UV absorption spectra. In order to investigate the reaction mechanism, solutions of hydrogen-capped polyyne, H(C=C)(5)H, and I-2 molecules in hexane were irradiated with a cw-laser beam at 532 nm, then their UV absorption spectra were recorded to obtain temporal decay profiles for the polyyne C10H2. At C10H2 concentrations of about 7 mu mol L-1, the rate of reaction in the decay profile for C10H2 increased with increasing I-2 concentration (8.2-126 mu mol L-1) as well as with increasing laser power (0.34-6.2 mW). Based on a kinetic model, the degradation of C10H2 was shown to compete with the formation of the polyyne-iodine molecular complex, H(C=C)(5)H(I-6). The formation of the complex was found to be efficient under the condition that the I-2 concentration is orders of magnitude higher than the C10H2 concentration as this suppresses the degradation process. - Yoriko Wada; Yusuke Morisawa; Tomonari WakabayashiCHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV 541 54 - 59 0009-2614 2012/07 [Refereed]
A series of molecular complexes, C2nH2I6 (n = 5-9), formed from size-selected hydrogen-end-capped polyyne, H(C C)(n)H, and iodine molecules was characterized by UV-vis and IR absorption spectroscopy for elucidating location and geometry of iodine atoms in the complex. The IR lines for the CH-stretching sigma(u) fundamental at 3305 cm (1) and CH-bending pi(u) fundamental at 625 cm (1) for C2nH2 (n = 5-7) in CCl4 were red-shifted by 220 and 15 cm (1), respectively, for its complex of C2nH2I6. A few lines were intensified in the low-frequency region of 850-1450 cm (1) for CC-stretching sigma(u) modes of polyynes in the complex. (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V.

We systematically investigate the new experimental method of using atoms or molecules to measure the important parameters of neutrinos that are still to be determined: the absolute mass scale, the mass hierarchy pattern (normal or inverted), the neutrino mass type (Majorana or Dirac), and the CP-violating phases, including Majorana phases. Most of these observables are difficult to measure in neutrino oscillation experiments. There are advantages to using atomic targets, such as the closeness of available atomic energies to anticipated neutrino masses, over nuclear target experiments such as the end point spectrum of beta decay and two-electron line spectrum in the neutrinoless double beta decay, both of which address some of the overlapping objectives with atomic/molecular experiments. A disadvantage of using atomic targets, the smallness of rates, is overcome by the macro-coherent amplification mechanism. The atomic or molecular process we use is a cooperative deexcitation of a collective body of atoms in a metastable level vertical bar e > emitting a neutrino pair and a photon: vertical bar e > -> vertical bar g > + gamma + nu(i)nu(j), where nu(i)s are neutrino mass eigenstates. The macro-coherence is developed by trigger-laser irradiation of two colors, which frequently causes the two-photon process vertical bar e > <-> vertical bar g > + gamma + gamma, vertical bar e > + gamma <-> vertical bar g > + gamma inside the target. We discuss important aspects of the macro-coherence development in detail, by setting up the master equation for the target Bloch vector (whose components are population difference and medium polarization) and the propagating electric field. Our master equation includes the effects of phase decoherence of medium polarization and decay of population difference. The spectral rate (the number of events per unit time) of macro-coherent radiative emission of a neutrino pair has three parts, and is given by a factorized formula of the form (overall omega-independent rate denoted by Gamma(0)) x (spectral shape function denoted by I (omega)) x (time-evolving dynamical factor), where omega is the photon energy. The constant factor Gamma(0) determines the overall rate in the unit of 1/time, and for Xe it is of the order of 1Hz(n/10(22) cm(-3))(3) (V/10(2) cm(3)). The dynamical factor is time dependent and is given by the space integrated quantity, over the entire target, of the product of the magnitude squared of the coherent polarization and the field strength (in the units of the maximally extractable energy density) stored inside the target. The asymptotic value of the time-evolving dynamical factor is given by the contribution of the field condensate accompanied by macroscopic coherence, which is calculated using the static limit of the master equation. With an appropriate choice of heavy target atoms or molecules such as Xe and I-2 that have a large M1 x E1 matrix element between vertical bar e > and vertical bar g >, we show that one can determine three neutrino masses along with distinction of the mass hierarchy pattern (normal or inverted) by measuring the spectral shape I (omega).If one uses a target of available energy of a fraction of 1 eV, the most experimentally challenging observable, the Majorana CP phases may be determined, comparing the detected rate with differences of theoretical expectations which exist at the level of several percent. The Majorana CP-violating phase is expected to be crucial to the understanding of the matter-antimatter imbalance in our universe. Our master equation, when applied to E1 x E1 transitions such as pH(2) vibrational Xv = 1 -> 0, can describe explosive paired superradiance events in which most of the energy stored in vertical bar e > is released in the order of a few nanoseconds. The present paper is intended to be self-contained, explaining some details of related theoretical works in the past, and reports on new simulations and the ongoing experimental efforts of the project to realize neutrino mass spectroscopy using atoms/molecules. - Tomonari Wakabayashi; Mao Saikawa; Yoriko Wada; Toshie MinematsuCARBON PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD 50 (1) 47 - 56 0008-6223 2012/01 [Refereed]
Cyanopolyynes, H(C equivalent to C)(n) C equivalent to N (n = 3-6), were formed by laser ablation of carbon particles in liquid acetonitrile. The molecules were separated according to the size n and characterized by UV absorption spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy in combination with gas-chromatographic separation, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. For the study of nascent carbon cluster distribution during the growth of the long carbon chain molecules, isotopomer distribution was analyzed by NMR spectroscopy for the product molecules. Two cyanopolyynes of HC7N and HC9N were isolated from solutions after laser ablation of isotope-enriched carbon powder (99% C-13) in liquid acetonitrile, CH3CN, of natural isotopic abundance (1.1% C-13). With the observed chemical shift, 5, and spin-spin coupling constants, cu and J(CH), spectral simulation was made to determine relative abundance of possible isotopomeric forms for HC9N. We found that the isotope of C-12, mostly from solvent molecules, contributes substantially for the part of carbon in the cyano group, -C equivalent to N, in HC9N. The isotopomer distribution observed for the sequence of H-C equivalent to C-C equivalent to C- was fairly explainable by a binomial, random distribution of the two carbon isotopes of C-12 and C-13, reducing the concentration of C-13 to 76-55%.

Hydrogen-end-capped polyynes, H(C C)(n)H (n = 5-7), were photoirradiated in the presence of iodine molecules in nonpolar solvents to find a dramatic change in the UV/vis absorption spectrum. Absorption bands of polyynes in the UV and the band of 12 in the visible region disappeared, whereas weaker bands of polyynes were intensified in the near UV region. The emerging features are associated with vibronic bands in the symmetry-forbidden transition of the linear polyyne molecule. Stoichiometry for the reaction, i.e., C12H2 + nI(2) -> C12H2I2n, was determined to be n = 3 from the concentration-dependence experiment. C-13 NMR spectra for 1:3 mixture of polyyne and iodine molecules, namely C10H2/3I(2) and C12H2/3I(2), exhibited five and six lines, respectively, all shifted to lower fields compared to those in the case without iodine. After removing excess 12 by reductive reagent of Na2SO3, recovery of the missing absorption bands for the components of C10H2 and 12 was observed. These observations strongly support the formation of an unique molecular complex of C2nH2I6 (n = 5-7) upon photoabsorption by an I-2 molecule within a cluster of polyyne and iodine molecules, C2nH2(I-2)(m) (m >= 3). - Kenji Hanamura; Minoru Fujii; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Shinji HayashiChemical Physics Letters 503 (1-3) 118 - 123 0009-2614 2011/02 [Refereed]
Absorption and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of size-selected C8H2 adsorbed on Ag colloids were investigated. The Ag colloids after C8H2 adsorption are stable without precipitation of Ag nanoparticle aggregates. The spectra strongly depend on the C8H2 concentration. A good correlation between the concentration dependence of the absorption spectrum and that of SERS intensities supports the electromagnetic mechanism of SERS. The use of size-selected C8H2 made it possible to demonstrate also the chemical effects, which manifest themselves in the differences in the positions of SERS bands for different SERS enhancers, i.e., Ag colloid and Ag island film. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

the context of an NMR quantum computer by taking azobenzene as an example.
Azobenzene has two different isomers, {\it{}trans}-azobenzene (TAB) and
{\it{}cis}-azobenzene (CAB), which can be interconverted by photoisomerization.
Changing molecular structure leads to change in the spin-spin coupling
constant, and hence leads to change in entangling operation time. We first
obtain stable structures of TAB and CAB by {\it ab initio} calculation. Then,
we calculate the NMR spectra of these isomers and verify that they reproduce
the chemical shift obtained experimentally with a good precision. Our result
indicates that the coupling strength between a $^{15}$N and a $^{13}$C nuclei
in the molecule changes by a large amount under photoisomerization. - Y. Sato; T. Kodama; H. Shiromaru; J. H. Sanderson; T. Fujino; Y. Wada; T. Wakabayashi; Y. AchibaCARBON PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD 48 (5) 1673 - 1676 0008-6223 2010/04 [Refereed]

Time evolution of SERS spectrum for sp hybridized carbon linear chains, called as polyyne C14H2, adsorbed on a silver island film was investigated to study the interaction of the polyynes with silver island film. A rapid increase of intensities of two strong bands in the SERS spectrum just after immersion of silver island film indicating adsorption of polyyne on silver surface was observed. From the increasing intensity of the SERS bands in the adsorption process, we have revealed that the two bands are commonly originated from the adsorbed polyynes. A continuous laser irradiation of the sample led to a drastical decrease of the SERS band intensities. This decrease occurred due to conversion of the adsorbed polyynes into sp(2) carbon networks covering the silver surface, which was induced by laser heating. We also observed a change of the ratio of the two band intensities, which may indicate a modification of vibrational properties of the surviving polyynes on the silver surface by the surrounding sp(2) carbon networks. - T.

Size-selected linear hydrocarbon molecules, polyynes HC(2n)H, were contacted in solutions with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) prepared from laser-ablated metal/carbon composite rods (Rh/Pt/C) to produce polyyne-encapsulating SWNTs, HC(2n)H@SWNT(RhPt).

The Raman spectra were compared with those observed for polyynes on Ag islands (SERS) and in solutions. The filling factor was investigated from the concentration dependence of the Raman intensity for HC(10)H@SWNT(NiCo) to give an estimate of one polyyne molecule per similar to 350 carbon atoms of SWNTS, providing a picture for head-to-tale filling of aligned C(10)H(2) molecules inside the SWNTs. - Tomonari WakabayashiMOLECULAR REALIZATIONS OF QUANTUM COMPUTING 2007 WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD 2 163 - 192 1793-7299 2009 [Refereed]
Fullerene C(60) is a molecule with a hollow space in its closed cage of sixty carbon atoms and able to accommodate atoms or molecules inside. Recently, the system of an electron spin coupled with a nuclear spin of a nitrogen atom trapped inside C(60) (N@C(60)) has been demonstrated to be a possible qubit system for the implementation of quantum computation (QC) and quantum information processing (QIP). In the last decade, there has appeared an increasing number of reports for this molecule, on its magnetic properties, ideas for physical realization as quantum computers, and experimental approaches based on the magnetic resonance techniques. In this Chapter, the research areas on the topic on the fullerene-based QC/QIP are reviewed together with a relevant part of the fullerene stories.

We report the production and characterization of a form of amorphous carbon with sp-sp(2) hybridization (atomic fraction of sp hybridized species >= 20%) where the predominant sp bonding appears to be (=C=C=)(n) cumulene. Vibrational and electronic properties have been studied by in situ Raman spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurements. Cumulenic chains are substantially stable in high vacuum conditions for temperatures lower than 250 K and they influence the electrical transport properties of the sp-sp(2) carbon through a self-doping mechanism by pinning the Fermi level closer to one of the mobility gap edges. Upon heating above 250 K the cumulenic species decay to form graphitic nanodomains embedded in the sp(2) amorphous matrix thus reducing the activation energy of the material. This is the first example of a pure carbon system where the sp hybridization influences bulk properties. - D. Nishide; T. Wakabayashi; T. Sugai; R. Kitaura; H. Kataura; Y. Achiba; H.

Polyyne molecules (C2nH2, n = 4-6) encaged inside single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The Raman bands observed in the region of 2000-2200 cm(-1) are identified as due to axial-stretching fundamentals, nu(2)-nu(4) (sigma(g) in D-infinity h), of the linear carbon molecules. For C10H2 and C12H2, the overtone bands at similar to 4100 cm(-1) and combination bands of the polyyne and graphitic modes at similar to 3600 cm(-1) are also observed. The two-phonon excitations may be responsible for the observed resonance Raman peaks via new electronic states generated by the dispersion interaction exerted between encapsulated polyynes and nanotubes. The vibrational frequencies of the polyyne molecules in SWNTs increase as the diameter distributions of SWNTs decrease. The interaction is also responsible for the observed frequency shifts and broadening of the Raman bands. - Tomonari Wakabayashi; Hiroshi Tabata; Tatsuya Doi; Hiroyuki Nagayama; Koji Okuda; Rui Umeda; Ichiro Hisaki; Motohiro Sonoda; Yoshito Tobo; Toshie Minematsu; Kenro Hashimoto; Shinji HayashiCHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV 433 (4-6) 296 - 300 0009-2614 2007/01 [Refereed]

Solutions of hydrogen-capped polyynes were prepared by laser ablation of graphite powder in n-hexane and subjected to size separation by high-performance liquid chromatography. Solutions of size-selected polyynes CnH2 (n = 8-16) were investigated by normal Raman (NR) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. A main band appearing in the 2000-2200 cm-1 region of the NR spectra showed a systematic downward shift as the chain length increased. The observed NR bands were assigned to Raman-active CC stretching vibrational modes by comparison with calculations based on density functional theory. Raman bands observed in SERS spectra were very broad and located at frequencies lower than the NR bands. A systematic band shift with increasing chain length was also observed for one of the bands. This band was thus assigned to a counterpart of the strong band in the NR spectra. These results made it possible to assign the origins of previously reported SERS bands of mixed polyyne solutions. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

A new hybrid material C10H2@SWNTs, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) encapsulating C10H2 polyyne molecules, has been synthesized and confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurement. The C10H2 polyyne molecules composed of linearly bonded sp-carbon atoms are aligned inside the SWNTs. This hybrid material exhibits a characteristic Raman signal at 2066 cm(-1) attributable to the stretching vibration of the C10H2 molecules interacting with SWNTs. Being trapped inside the SWNTs, the otherwise unstable C10H2 molecules are shown to be stable well above 300 degrees C under dry-air conditions. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

As an approach to size-selective formation of fullerenes, we developed a method based on the cyclization of reactive cyclic polyynes which were generated by [2+2] cycloreversion of [4.3.2] propellatriene units. This method was proven to work successfully for the first time for the formation of fullerene ions C-60(+) and C-60(-) in the gas phase. This protocol is useful for generation of a small three-dimensional carbon cluster ion C-36(-) and a large fullerene C-78(-), as well. - Yoshito Tobe; Tomonari WakabayashiAcetylene Chemistry: Chemistry, Biology, and Material Science John Wiley and Sons 387 - 426 2005/10

The products from laser ablated graphite under the flow of H<sub>2</sub> and He buffer gases were analyzed by time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectroscopy in combination with one-photon ionization of an energy of 10.5 eV/photon. By changing the time interval between the ablation laser pulse and the photoionization laser pulse it was found that the neutral clusters ablated from the graphite have three distinctly different velocities for one and the same value of <i>m</i>/<i>z</i>, which was detected as three separate bunches of TOF mass peaks. The effect of changing the time interval was examined extensively. As a result, it was found that the first component that appeared earlier in the ionization region consisted of various bared carbon clusters C<sub><i>n</i></sub> with <i>n</i>≥6 and hydrocarbons C<sub><i>n</i></sub>H<sub><i>m</i></sub> with <i>n</i>≥4 and <i>m</i>=1 through 4 while the second and third components that arrived later were C<sub>10</sub> and C<sub>2<i>n</i></sub>H<sub>2</sub> (<i>n</i>=2 through 5) only. This persistence of C<sub>10</sub> and C<sub>2<i>n</i></sub>H<sub>2</sub> at longer delay times was attributed to the robustness of these clusters against collisions occurring in ablated plumes. It was inferred that the robustness is due to the chemical inertness of a monocyclic form for C<sub>10</sub> and of a linear polyynic form, H(-C≡C)<sub><i>n</i></sub>-H, for C<sub>2<i>n</i></sub>H<sub>2</sub>. In the He buffer gas heated to 600 K the yield of the third (slowest) component of C<sub>10</sub> enhanced drastically, which indicates that thermal collisions in plumes favor the production of this monocycle, which further suggests that the monocycle may play a crucial role in the formation of C<sub>60</sub>, known as a favored product in hot plumes of ablated graphite. - Hisaki, I; T Eda; M Sonoda; H Niino; T Sato; T Wakabayashi; Y TobeJOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AMER CHEMICAL SOC 70 (5) 1853 - 1864 0022-3263 2005/03 [Refereed]
[GRAPHICS] To generate dibenzotetrakisdehydro[12]- and dibenzopentakisdehydro[14]annulenes ([12]- and [14]-DBAs) having a highly deformed triyne moiety, [4.3.2]propellatriene-anneleted dehydro[12]- and dehydro [14] annulenes were prepared as their precursors. UV irradiation of the precursors resulted in the photochemical [2 + 2] cycloreversion to generate the strained [12]- and [14]DBAs, respectively. The [12]DBA was not detected by H-1 NMR spectroscopy, but it was intercepted as Diels-Alder adducts in solution, suggesting its intermediacy. Its spectroscopic characterization was successfully carried out by UV-vis spectroscopy in a 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) glass matrix at 77 K and by FT-IR spectroscopy in an argon matrix at 20 K. On the other hand, the [14]DBA was stable enough for observation by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra in solution, though it was not isolated because of the low efficiency of the cycloreversion. The [14]DBA was also characterized by interception as Diels-Alder adducts in solution and by UV-vis spectroscopy in a MTHF glass matrix at 77 K. The kinetic stabilities of the DBAs are compared with the related dehydrobenzoannulenes with respect to the topology of the pi-systems. In addition, the tropicity of the [14]DBA is discussed based on its experimental and theoretical H-1 NMR chemical shifts. - Y Tobe; R Umeda; M Sonoda; T WakabayashiCHEMISTRY-A EUROPEAN JOURNAL WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH 11 (5) 1603 - 1609 0947-6539 2005/02 [Refereed]
Multicyclic cagelike cyclophanes 2a and 2b containing cyclobutene rings have been prepared as precursors of three-dimensional polyynes C78H18 (1a) and C78H12Cl6 (1b), respectively. Laser irradiation of 2a and 2b induced expulsion of the aromatic fragment, indane, to give the three-dimensional polyyne anions C78H18- and C78H12Cl6-, respectively. Whereas the former anion lost only four hydrogen atoms to form C78H14-, complete loss of all hydrogen and chlorine atoms was observed from the latter anion, to yield a C-78(-) ion that has a fullerene structure which was proven by its characteristic fragmentation pattern. - H Hoshina; Y Kato; Y Morisawa; T Wakabayashi; T MomoseCHEMICAL PHYSICS ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV 300 (1-3) 69 - 77 0301-0104 2004/05 [Refereed]
This paper presents the UV and IR absorption spectroscopy of small carbon molecules of C-3 observed using a high-resolution Fourier-transform spectrometer. The C-3 molecules were produced by irradiation of dimers or larger clusters of acetylene with an ArF laser (lambda = 193 nm). Sharp UV absorption features with multiple structures were observed in the (A) over tilde (1)Pi(u) <-- (X) over tilde (1)Sigma(g)(+) electronic transition of C-3. The sharp UV absorption demonstrates the potential of solid para-hydrogen as a matrix for high-resolution spectroscopy of UV-vis electronic transitions. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. the coagulation of carbon chain molecules that occurs on the subliming surface of a carbon-containing rare-gas matrix is investigated. intermolecular connections with dangling bonds enhance the sublimation of the matrix and that results in the emission of a layer of nested carbon chains into vacuum at a velocity about 100 m/s. The following conversion from carbon sp- to more stable Sp(2)-type bonds heats up the carbon material above 3000 K. During this process, the nested carbon layer self-anneals via a graphitic mono-layer into a conjunct array of particles with a dimension about 10 nm. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Carbon clusters and hydrocarbon molecules and radicals produced by laser vaporization of graphite in a hydrogen (H-2 or D-2) gas expansion source were studied using 10.5 eV one-photon ionization followed by time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. By changing the delay time of the ionization pulse relative to the vaporization pulse, we found two distinctly different mass patterns: rather non-selective signals of C-n (n = 6-20) and CnHm (n = 3-20 and m = 1-4) at shorter delay times, while selective signals of C2nH2 (n = 2-5) and C-10 at longer delay times. The selective formation of the carbon cluster and hydrocarbon molecules at longer delay times is attributed to the relatively inert nature of polyynes H(-Cequivalent toC-)(n)H (n = 2-5) and monocyclic C-10. The formation mechanism of these hydrocarbons and carbon clusters by laser ablation under hydrogen gas is discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

The formation of carbon particles on cold surfaces takes place when rare-gas solids containing trapped carbon vapor molecules are sublimed. This formation process is accompanied by violent effects such as flashes of light emission and splashing of luminous fragments, both observable with the naked eye. The recorded optical emission spectrum shows a continuum attributable to a blackbody radiation of similar to2500 K. We believe the violent effects are associated with exothermic reactions following the rearrangement of bonds, which leads from the metastable sp-carbon chains to the more stable sp(2) form of carbon particles. - Y Tobe; Ohki, I; M Sonoda; H Niino; T Sato; T WakabayashiJOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY AMER CHEMICAL SOC 125 (19) 5614 - 5615 0002-7863 2003/05 [Refereed]
We report here the generation of tetrakisdehydro[12]annulene possessing a highly deformed triyne component from the [4.3.2]propellatriene-annelated precursor by its photolysis extruding indan and the characterization of the highly reactive annulene by chemical and spectroscopic methods. In addition to the chemical evidence for the formation of the title compound in solution such as interception as a Diels-Alder adduct, we succeeded in its characterization by UV-vis and FTIR spectra in an argon matrix at 20 K. The experimental IR spectrum agreed well with the theoretical one calculated by the DFT method.

Neutral carbon clusters produced from laser-ablated graphite in a supersonic pulsed-helium expansion source were studied by time-of-flight (TOF) mass analysis using single-photon ionization with 10.5 eV photons. Varying the delay time of an ionization laser pulse relative to a vaporization pulse, we found that a signal of C-10, along with a weaker signal of C-12, was intensified almost exclusively to the other C-n signals with relatively long delay times of 80-250 mus. We observed two distinctly different TOFs for one and the same size, a short TOF at shorter delay times and a long TOF at longer delay times. We attribute the difference in TOF to the difference in initial velocity of the neutral cluster. We also performed the experiment within a high vacuum to find a similar difference in TOF for clusters of the same mass. The bimodal arrival-time distribution from the source to the ionization region indicates that the bunch of laser-ablated clusters separates into two bunches with different group velocities. We attribute this separation to the formation of a relatively dense layer of clusters. During collisions behind this layer, the relatively stable neutral C-10, probably of a monocyclic structure, is formed preferentially. This must be the origin of the selective detection of C-10 at the longer delay times. Using He as a buffer gas, the signal of the C-10 was found to be of a magnitude two orders more pronounced than within the high vacuum.

We report the preliminary results of our experiments with stimulated Raman scattering in para-hydrogen crystal aimed at developing a continuously tunable laboratory laser source of mid-infrared radiation. With laser pulses at 532 nm, a conversion efficiency for the first Stokes beam of as much as 20% in the forward direction was observed through a single-pass, 5-cm-long crystal. Generation of mid-infrared pulses at 4.5 mum was achieved by use of the output of a near-infrared pulsed laser (1.6 mum, 3 ns), and an absorption spectrum of gaseous CD4 molecules was successfully recorded. These results suggest use of the solid para-hydrogen Raman shifter as a promising light source for mid-infrared spectroscopy.

In our study of carbon vapor molecules trapped in Ne matrices at 6 K, we observed laser induced fluorescence spectra of the D (1)Sigma(u)(+)-->B-' (1)Sigma(g)(+) system of C-2 upon excitation of the Mulliken transition D (1)Sigma(u)(+)<--X (1)Sigma(g)(+) of C-2 at 232 nm. A vibrational progression was clearly observed going from the upper vibrational v(')=0 level of the electronic D state into several lower v(')=0-6 levels of the B-' state. We found that the progression spans from 359 to 517 nm with a large Franck-Condon shift showing the intensity maximum for the 0-2 or 0-3 transition. The vibrational constants for the B-' state were derived as omega(e)=1427 cm-1 and omega(e)x(e)=2.1 cm(-1). We also observed the C-->A and the Swan band emissions, showing that from the excited D state also additional states were populated by internal conversion and intersystem crossing. The constants for the A state were derived as omega(e)=1613.5 cm(-1) and omega(e)x(e)=18.5 cm(-1). Fluorescence excitation spectra of the D-->B-' vibronic transitions were found to reproduce well the relatively narrow absorption feature of the Mulliken D<--X system. We discuss the entirely different excitation spectra occurring in argon matrices in terms of matrix-site effects. Each vibronic band of the D-->B-' progression shows fine structures probably due to translations and librations of C-2 molecules coupled with the surrounding lattice of Ne atoms.

Perdeuterated ethyl iodide in solid parahydrogen is photolyzed at 4.4 K to find the formation of all deuterated ethylene, ethane, and ethyl radical and deuterium iodide. The temporal change in the intensity of the vibrational spectra upon UV irradiation reveals that the initial ethyl iodide exists in both monomeric and dimeric units. The monomeric unit is subjected to the following competitive reactions: C2D5I + h nu --> .C2D5 + .I and C2D5I + h nu --> CD2=CD2 + DI The ethylene produced thereby is loosely complexed with the counterpart DI. The dimeric unit undergoes the following one-photonic parallel reactions I and II: (I) (C2D5I)(2) + h nu --> 2 .C2D5 + I-2 to be followed by a gradual disproportionation, 2 .C2D5 --> CD2=CD2 + C2D6, which proceeds by quantum tunneling of a D atom between the radicals in the experimental time scale. The possible recombination of the two radicals to butane is not observed at all. (II) (C2D5I)(2) + h nu --> CD2=CD2 + C2D6 + h, which is a direct molecular process to give the same products as (I). The ethylene produced by both (I) and (II) tends to form complexes with C2D6 and with I-2. Prolonged irradiation induces the following secondary photolysis of the three primary photoproducts: .C2D5 + h nu --> CD2=CD2 + .D, DI + h nu --> .D + .I, and I-2 + h nu --> 2 .I. - Y Tobe; N Nakagawa; JY Kishi; M Sonoda; K Naemura; T Wakabayashi; T Shida; Y AchibaTETRAHEDRON PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD 57 (17) 3629 - 3636 0040-4020 2001/04 [Refereed]

Carbon clusters are formed from carbon vapor of resistively heated graphite rods. The clusters C-n are trapped in a matrix of solid Ne at 7 K. High resolution infrared (IR) absorption spectra of the matrix sample show a distinct fine structure for each vibrational band of clusters C-n suggesting different types of trapping sites, In the dissociation experiment, the matrix sample is irradiated by an ultraviolet (UV) laser tuned to the wavelength of an electronic transition of a linear cluster. The IR and UV absorption spectra are recorded before and after the irradiation. We found that the intensity of the IR absorption line of linear C-6 at 1958.7 cm(-1) decreases when the matrix sample is irradiated at a wavelength of 235 nm, near the maximum of a strong UV band. As a result of this exposure, also the UV band diminishes. The intensity decrease of the IR and UV band is correlated and indicates decomposition of linear C-6. We also observed changes In the fine structure of the IR absorptions, which indicate reorientation of trapping sites upon the electronic excitation. - Y Tobe; R Furukawa; M Sonoda; T WakabayashiANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH 40 (21) 4072 - + 1433-7851 2001 [Refereed]

We report the isolation of C-60 molecules in cryogenic parahydrogen (pH(2)) solids by the rapid vapor deposition method. New theoretical simulations of rovibrational spectra for low-temperature isolated C-12(60) molecules, including boson-exchange symmetry restrictions on the rotational levels, predict a characteristic "null gap" and unequal rotational line spacings for low-J values. High-resolution IR absorption spectra of the C-60/pH(2) samples failed to show rotationally resolved features, and in fact suggest that the majority of the C-60 molecules are not rotating. However, spectra of the F-1u(1) vibrational mode near 530 cm(-1) show line widths of approximate to 0.2 cm(-1) fwhm, the sharpest IR absorption bands for C-60 reported to date. Visible absorption spectra also show sharp features in the approximate to 600 nm region, supporting our contention of well-isolated C-60 molecules. The C-60 molecules appear to stabilize the pH(2) solid, inhibiting the fee to hcp conversion which usually occurs upon annealing of rapid vapor deposited pH(2) solids to T approximate to 5 K. We also report surprisingly strong C-60-induced IR activity in the pH(2) solid, and propose this phenomenon as a diagnostic for H-2 molecules adsorbed by carbon nanotubes, C-60/pH(2) samples grown in an enclosed cell by laser ablation of solid C-60 appear to contain predominantly (C-60)(n) clusters; these clusters are too small to exhibit "bulk" vibrational or electronic properties, as determined by IR and UV/visible absorption spectroscopies. Future experiments to disentangle the contributions of C-13 isotopic substitution, pH(2) matrix effects, and the putative hindered rotation of C-60 molecules to the observed C-60/pH(2) IR line shapes are presently under consideration. - Y Tobe; T Fujii; H Matsumoto; K Tsumuraya; D Noguchi; N Nakagawa; M Sonoda; K Naemura; Y Achiba; T WakabayashiJOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY AMER CHEMICAL SOC 122 (8) 1762 - 1775 0002-7863 2000/03 [Refereed]
As a method to generate all-carbon molecules having highly reactive polyyne units from stable precursors, the [2 + 2] cycloreversion of [4.3.2]propella-1,3,11-triene derivatives was developed, To test the efficiency of this method, the reaction was first applied to simple diethynyl- and dibutadiynyl-substituted propellatrienes, which produced upon UV-irradiation linear hexatriyne and decapentayne derivatives, respectively. Next, dehydro[12]-, [16]-, [18]-, [20]-, and [24]annulene derivatives annelated by the [4.3.2]propellatriene units were prepared as precursors to the corresponding cyclo[n]carbons, a monocyclic form of carbon clusters. Laser-desorption mass spectra of the dehydroannulenes exhibited, in the negative mode, peaks due to the corresponding cyclo[n]carbon anions (n = 12, 16, 18, 20, and 24) formed by successive losses of aromatic indane fragments. Solution photolysis of the dehydro[16]annulene and dehydro[18]annulene derivatives formed reactive polyyne intermediates by [2 + 2] cycloreversion which were intercepted by furan to give the corresponding Diels-Alder adducts. The structures and spectroscopic properties of the dehydroannulenes annelated by the [4.3.2]propellatriene units, the precursors to cyclo[n]carbons, and those annelated by the oxanorbornadiene units, the products of the photolysis in furan, are discussed. - D Kasuya; T Ishigaki; T Suganuma; Y Ohtsuka; S Suzuki; H Shiromaru; Y Achiba; T WakabayashiEUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL D SPRINGER VERLAG 9 (1-4) 355 - 358 1434-6060 1999/12 [Refereed]
The ambient temperature dependence of the yield of fullerenes was systematically investigated toward furthering the understanding of the fullerene formation mechanism. The change in yield of fullerenes from C-60 to C-96 was quantitatively examined as a function of fullerene size, temperature, and position of target in the gradient of temperature. As a result, it was found that the formation of higher fullerenes requires higher furnace temperature, presumably because of the presence of higher reaction barriers prior to the accomplishment of the fullerene cage. In connection with such a thermal effect on the yield of fullerenes, we have also carried out an experiment to deduce the spatial distribution of such an endothermic reaction area in which the external heating is effectively active. Furthermore, in order to establish the presence of such a particular area for the fullerene formation, we used a high-speed video camera to directly detect emission from hot particles, which was found to be closely related to fullerene formation. - T Wakabayashi; T Momose; T ShidaJOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS AMER INST PHYSICS 111 (14) 6260 - 6263 0021-9606 1999/10 [Refereed]
Neutral carbon clusters C-n (n=1-30) produced along with ionic clusters in laser vaporized graphite are studied under high vacuum by combined use of time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectroscopy and one photon ionization with a photon energy of 10.5 eV. The TOF mass distribution pattern shows intensification of the C4n+2 (n greater than or equal to 2) clusters more clearly than the previous work by Kaizu [J. Chem. Phys. 106, 9954 (1997)] who employed the same 10.5 eV photon but photoionized the neutral clusters generated by laser vaporization of graphite in helium buffer gas. The intensification is attributed to the intrinsic stability of the C4n+2 (n greater than or equal to 2) neutral clusters, probably due to the monocyclicity. Two different line shapes of the mass spectral peak are observed for one and the same cluster size. The line shape with a tailing toward longer flight times is associated with the neutral clusters produced by relatively slow fragmentation of larger clusters (n much greater than 30) followed by autoionization of the fragmented clusters. The other sharp line shape is associated with prompt ionization by the 10.5 eV photon. It is concluded that only the electronically excited neutral clusters are ionized for n less than or equal to 5 whereas the clusters with n > 5 are ionized irrespective of their electronic state.

We present high resolution (∼0.01 cm-1) infrared absorption spectra of the ν4 band of methane doped parahydrogen (CH4/pH2) solids produced by two different techniques: gas condensation in an enclosed cell at T≈8 K, and rapid vapor deposition onto a T≈2 K substrate in vacuum. The spectrum of the rapid vapor deposited solid contains a novel progression of single peaks with ≈5 cm-1 spacing, superimposed over the known spectrum of CH4 molecules trapped in sites of D3h symmetry in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) solid pH2. New theoretical calculations of the rovibrational transitions of a tetrahedral molecule in an external field of Oh symmetry permit the assignment of this new progression to CH4 molecules trapped in crystalline face centered cubic (fcc) regions of the pH2 solid. Annealing of the rapid vapor deposited samples to T≈5 K decreases the intensities of the CH4/pH2(fcc) absorptions, and results in intensity changes for parallel and perpendicularly polarized CH4/pH2(hcp) transitions. We discuss these phenomena, and the narrow (0.01-0.04 cm-1 full width at half-maximum) absorption linewidths, in terms of the microscopic structure of the pH2 hosts. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. - H Hoshina; T Wakabayashi; T Momose; T ShidaJOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS AMER INST PHYSICS 110 (12) 5728 - 5733 0021-9606 1999/03 [Refereed]
The triply degenerate stretching (nu(3)) and bending (nu(4)) modes of CD4 in solid parahydrogen at cryogenic temperatures are studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to reveal crystal field split rovibrational structures. The observed spectra are analyzed by taking into account the crystal field potential which is constructed by the summation of the pairwise (dispersive) potential between the methane and the surrounding hydrogen molecules. By the least-squares fitting of that observed to a theoretical model the molecular constants of CD4 as well as the potential coefficient are determined as in the previous work on the CH4/p-H-2 system. The potential is approximated to be proportional to the product of the polarizability of hydrogen molecule, the dipole-quadrupole polarizability of methane, and the inverse of the seventh power of the intermolecular distance between methane and hydrogen molecules. From the ratio of the potential coefficients of CH4 and CD4 the dipole-quadrupole polarizability of CD4 is found to be 0.875 times that of CH4 under the assumption that the quantum renormalization effect is negligible. A novel temperature dependence of the line shape of the nu(3) and nu(4) modes is discovered over the range of 4.5 to 8.0 K. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.

Ultraviolet photolysis of CD3I in solid parahydrogen at 5 K gives CD3 radical, which decreases in a single exponential manner with a rate constant of (4.7 +/- 0.5) x 10(-6) s(-1). Concomitantly, CD3H is formed, which is accounted fur by the quantum tunneling reaction CD3 + H-2 --> CD3H + H. Under the same conditions, CH3I yields CH3 radical, hut the corresponding reaction between CH3 and H-2, expected to give CH4 + H, does not proceed measurably at 5 K. The difference between the two systems is attributed to the difference in the zero point energy change.

Photolysis of methyl iodide in solid parahydrogen (p-H2) at about 5 K is studied with ultraviolet light at 253.7 and 184.9 nm. It is found that the light at 253.7 nm produces only methyl radical, whereas the light at 184.9 nm yields both methyl radical and methane. The mechanism of the formation of the photoproducts is elucidated by analyzing the temporal behavior of the observed vibrational absorption. It is concluded that methyl radical in the ground state does not react with p-H2 molecules appreciably but that the radical in the electronic excited state of B̃(2A1′), accessible by reabsorption of 184.9 nm photons by the radical, decomposes to a singlet methylene CH2 ã(1A1) and a hydrogen atom (2S) and that the singlet methylene reacts with a p-H2 molecule to give methane. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. - T Momose; M Miki; T Wakabayashi; T Shida; MC Chan; SS Lee; T OkaJOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS AMER INST PHYSICS 107 (19) 7707 - 7716 0021-9606 1997/11 [Refereed]
The nu(3) and nu(4) vibrational transitions of methane trapped in solid parahydrogen have been observed by using Fourier transform infrared and high resolution laser spectroscopy. The observed spectrum is interpreted in terms of rovibrational states of the spherical rotor which are subjected to the crystal field splitting. The nu(4) band shows extremely sharp lines of a width of similar to 0.003 cm(-1), while the nu(3) band exhibits broader lines of a width of 1 cm(-1). The infrared selection rules derived from an extended group theory to take into account the field effect are consistent with the observed spectra. The intermolecular interaction and the field effect in solid parahydrogen are analyzed quantitatively.

Clusters of methane are isolated in solid parahydrogen. The vibrational spectral region of the nu(4) fundamental of methane molecule is surveyed with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and a high-resolution difference-frequency infrared laser system. More than 200 sharp absorption lines are discovered whose linewidth is as narrow as 0.007 cm(-1) (200 MHz). The spectrum indicates that the rovibrational levels of the clusters of small sizes are well quantized in solid parahydrogen.

n-Dehydroannulenes with the ring size of n = 12, 16, 18, 20, and 24 and with three to five indanyl substituents are laser ablated by 355 nm photons. The indanyl unit is lost stepwise up to the complete deletion to leave the bare annulenyl skeleton. The monoanions of these products are mass analyzed first, and then subjected to a second laser pulse of 266 nm to obtain photoelectron spectra for C-n(-) with n = 12, 16, 18, 20, and 24. The spectra are compared with those obtained by using graphite as a target of the laser ablation.

Infrared (IR) pulse laser ablation of graphite followed by tightly focused ultraviolet (UV) pulse laser irradiation yields C-10(-) predominantly when the delay time between the two laser pulses is set at about 50-200 mu s. The mechanism of the formation of C-10(-) is deduced to be the attachment of slow photoelectrons to neutral C-10 produced by fragmentation of hot neutral clusters of larger sizes. There is an indication that C-10 and its anion have cyclic structures in contrast to the other chainlike clusters.

The photolysis of ethyl iodide in solid parahydrogen leads to the formation of ethyl radical, ethylene, and ethane upon near-UV illumination at about 5 K which are characterized by vibrational spectroscopy. The mechanism of the formation of the products is elucidated consistently. Two kinds of ethylene are discriminated spectroscopically which show distinctly different temporal behaviors during illumination and standing under dark. One of them is attributed to a complex between ethylene and iodine atom. The present work demonstrates that the cage effect is insignificant in the solid parahydrogen matrix, and a variety of elementary reactions of in situ photolysis can be studied in detail in contrast to conventional rare gas matrices. - T Wakabayashi; D Kasuya; H Shiromaru; S Suzuki; K Kikuchi; Y AchibaZEITSCHRIFT FUR PHYSIK D-ATOMS MOLECULES AND CLUSTERS SPRINGER VERLAG 40 (1-4) 414 - 417 0178-7683 1997 [Refereed]
Systematic fractional change in the yield of various isomers of fullerenes was revealed to strongly depend on temperature of a buffer gas. A new kinetic consideration is proposed for understanding the observed temperature- and pressure-dependence of yield of fullerenes. The model consists of three competitive reactions in consideration of plausible behaviors of a precursor, (1) decomposition into smaller fragments, (2) isomerization leading to formation of a stable fullerene cage, and (3) growth into a larger carbon cluster. Arrhenius activation energy of formation of stable fullerenes was determined to be 0.8 eV for both C-60 and C-70, while a higher energy of 2.0-3.3 eV for seven different isomers of higher fullerenes ranging from C-76 to C-84 Correlation in the activation energy is noted for a series of higher fullerenes with different sizes, sugggesting the existence of a specific precursor in their formation processes. - S Suzuki; Y Kojima; H Shiromaru; Y Achiba; T Wakabayashi; R Tellgmann; EEB Campbell; Hertel, IVZEITSCHRIFT FUR PHYSIK D-ATOMS MOLECULES AND CLUSTERS SPRINGER VERLAG 40 (1-4) 410 - 413 0178-7683 1997 [Refereed]
Photoionization/fragmentation of endohedral fullerenes was investigated by use of laser-desorption time-of-flight (LD-TOF) mass spectroscopy. The velocity distribution of the parent ion (LaC82+) was found to be bimodal, as has previously been shown for laser desorbed C-60(+). The fragment ions have velocity distributions corresponding predominantly to the fast parent ion distribution. The LD-TOF mass spectra taken with a relatively low laser fluence were independent of the delay time of the extraction pulse, showing only a monotonically decreasing pattern of LaC:, (as n decreased). However, with higher laser fluence, it was shown that the mass distributions drastically changed from the monotonically decreasing pattern to that of C-2n(+) and LaC:, with magic numbers. Based on these findings, a plausible photoionization/fragmentation mechanism is presented and discussed. - T Momose; T Wakabayashi; T ShidaJOURNAL OF THE OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA B-OPTICAL PHYSICS OPTICAL SOC AMER 13 (8) 1706 - 1712 0740-3224 1996/08 [Refereed]
The generation of tunable narrow-band mid-infrared Light by difference-frequency mixing of two kinds of continuous-wave ring-laser radiation in potassium titanyl phosphate is described. The system produces infrared powers of similar to 20 mu W of difference-frequency light continuously tunable from 1.05 to 2.8 mu m (3500-9500 cm(-1)). Continuous scans over a range of 100 cm(-1) with a spectral precision better than 10 MHz (0.0003 cm(-1)) are achieved.

Two types of carbon soot, prepared by the laser ablation of graphite and carbon are-discharge, were examined by means of electron microscopy. These carbonaceous materials are byproducts in fullerene production and thus are expected to be related structurally to fullerene molecules. It will be shown that morphologies and structure of the soot depend on carrier gas temperature during laser sputtering. Graphitic carbon is formed abundantly at room temperature, and network structures of fullerene-like cages appear dominantly at 1200 degrees C. Additional thermal energy during condensation of sputtered carbon is crucial in formation of various types of structures of solid carbon including fullerene molecules. - Y Tobe; T Fujii; H Matsumoto; K Naemura; Y Achiba; T WakabayashiJOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY AMER CHEMICAL SOC 118 (11) 2758 - 2759 0002-7863 1996/03 [Refereed]

Photofragmentation investigations were performed by using chromatographically isolated pure samples of higher fullerenes and metallofullerenes. Quite similar distributions of fragments were commonly observed for five different fullerenes, and this fact supports the presence of a ''scrambled-cage'' structure in a highly excited fullerene cage. An enhancement of the C-60 and C-70 signals was also observed as a result of ''delayed C-2-loss'' fragmentation within a time scale of about 60 mu s after photoexcitation. Photodissociation study of mono- and di-metallofullerenes revealed the qualitative difference in the fragment distributions between them, suggesting that LaC82 would possess an endohedral, and Sc2C84 an exohedral, form. - Y Achiba; K Kikuchi; Y Aihara; T Wakabayashi; Y Miyake; M KainoshoCHEMICAL PHYSICS OF FULLERENES 10 (AND 5) YEARS LATER KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBL 316 139 - 147 0168-132X 1996 [Refereed]
The structures of higher fullerenes are described based on C-13 NMR measurements of HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography)-isolated and purified samples. The most interesting aspect deduced from the present systematic work on the higher fullerenes up to C-94 is that among 19 kinds of fullerenes with different sizes and isomers, almost all fullerenes commonly have at least one C-2 symmetry axis in their molecular frame. The spectral feature of UV/visible absorption obtained for the HPLC-isolated samples up to C-116 fullerene gives, on the other hand, a strong indication that the numbers of co-existing isomers are extremely small, probably the presence of one or two isomers. Considering the huge numbers of the possible isomer candidates (over 5000 for C-116, for example),these experimental evidences may suggest the presence of very strong selectivity for the formation of stable higher fullerenes, which, in turn, is closely associated with the unknown growth process of a fullerene cage network. In order to understand the selectivity in more detail, we have also performed the experiments by which the temperature dependence of isomer fractions was clarified. - T. Wakabayashi; D. Kasuya; K.

Small carbon clusters produced by laser ablation of a carbon rod are trapped in solid parahydrogen at 4.8 K. Infrared spectra show the presence of C3, C5, C9, and a few new clusters. The observed vibrational spectra with multiplet structures are tentatively associated with hindered rotation of the clusters. Temperature dependence of the IR spectra reveals the diffusion of C3 and C5 clusters in the crystal at around 8 K, while no diffusion of C9 and the larger clusters is noticed. Any hydrocarbons which might be produced by reactions between the carbon clusters and the substrate hydrogen molecules are not observed both during the deposition and after the thermal annealing. © 1996 American Chemical Society. - T Momose; T Wakabayashi; T ShidaCZECHOSLOVAK JOURNAL OF PHYSICS CZECHOSLOVAK JNL OF PHYSICS 46 529 - 530 0011-4626 1996 [Refereed]

The existence of non-equivalent Sc trimer was confirmed by ESR measurements after the HPLC separation of a Sc-trimer enriched portion from carbon soot. The newly observed ESR signal consists of well-resolved hyperfine structures reproducible by a non-equivalent Sc trimer structure. The observed hyperfine structures and line widths were compared with those of Sc@C-82 and Sc-3@C-82, by which the stabilization of the non-equivalent trimer structure is discussed in terms of the hindered molecular motion of the trimer embedded in a fullerene-like carbon network. - S SUZUKI; H TORISU; H KUBOTA; T WAKABAYASHI; H SHIROMARU; Y ACHIBAINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY AND ION PROCESSES ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV 138 297 - 306 0168-1176 1994/10 [Refereed]
To clarify the specificity for the formation of stable metallofullerenes M@C-82, laser vaporization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy was applied to metal-carbon composite rods, which have been used to produce extractable metallofullerenes. Most of the metal elements in the fourth row of the periodic table (K to Zn), the group IIIA elements (La, Y, and Sc), and some of the lanthanides (Ce, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, and Lu) were examined. The results of mass spectra taken by three different modes (positive, negative, and post-ionization) were shown and compared with the laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectra of the metallofullerene-containing crude extract for each element. It was shown that there was a strong correlation between the formation of MC(n) (n > 4) and the formation of MC(82). Also, a preliminary ab initio calculation was performed, using MC(6) (M = Sc, Y, and K) as typical examples, in order to elucidate the stability and the molecular structure of MC(n). It was shown that there was a difference in the binding energy and the optimized molecular structure between the cases of M = Sc, Y, and M = K. All of the above findings strongly support the view that MC(n) (n > 4) has an important role in the formation process of M@C-82. - Masayoshi Ishibashi; Yasushi Tomioka; Yoshio Taniguchi; Shinzo Suzuki; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Yasuhiko Kojima; Koichi Kikuchi; Yohji AchibaJapanese Journal of Applied Physics 33 (9) L1265 - L1267 1347-4065 1994 [Refereed]
The effect of UV light on the stability of metallofullerenes containing lanthanum was investigated using laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry and ESR. The decomposition rate of LaC82 in toluene solution was about 100 times faster than that of C60 Moreover, decomposition of both metallofullerene and C60 toluene solutions induced by UV light irradiation in air would mainly occur without oxide formation. In these decomposition reactions by UV light irradiation, both dissolved oxygen and photo excited toluene molecules would play important roles. © 1994 IOP Publishing Ltd. - T. Wakabayashi; K.

The isomer formation of three isomers of C78 fullerene is discussed on the basis of experimental evidence revealed by pressure-controlled fullerene production. Theoretically predicted most stable isomer, C2v′-C78 has been found to be very sensitive to the graphite burning condition. The fraction of C2v′ isomer dramatically changes from zero to 50% by changing the foreign gas pressure.

Using a two-step liquid chromatographic method, the metallofullerene LaC82 has been isolated for the first time from the carbon soot. The isolated LaC82 was well identified as a stable molecule classified to a novel family of fullerene cage molecules. Comparison of the IR absorption spectra between LaC82 and C82 empty fullerene suggests an endohedral form for LaC82 with the same cage structure (C2 SYMMetry) previously proposed for C82. The presence of electronic absorption in the near-infrared region strongly supports the formation of an open-shell electronic structure for LaC82. - K KIKUCHI; N NAKAHARA; T WAKABAYASHI; S SUZUKI; K SAITO; IKEMOTO, I; Y ACHIBASYNTHETIC METALS ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA LAUSANNE 56 (2-3) 3208 - 3213 0379-6779 1993/04 [Refereed]

The main isomer of C82 have the structure with C2 symmetry and its production yield is about 70% of total C82. There are two main isomers in C84 (D2,D2d-C84).

One of the most prominent aspects of the novel form of carbon molecules, the ''fullerenes'', is the characteristic features of the C-C bond networks. The fullerene hollow closed cage consists of five- and six-membered rings, providing a spherical surface with no adjacent pentagons in the network (isolated pentagon rule, IPR). Here we describe a novel picture of growth of fullerenes, paying special attention to the initial stage of growth of five- and six-membered ring networks. Some important precursors associated with specific fullerenes are suggested in connection with the structure and stability of small carbon clusters. - S. Suzuki; T. Wakabayashi; H. Matsuura; H.

A hypothetical ring-stacking procedure combined with the isolated-pentagon rule(IPR) shows variety of formation pathways of many fullerene structures with a 5- and 6-membered ring carbon cage. Combining the ring-stacking procedure with energetic considerations, the numbers of possible reaction channels are dramatically reduced within the framework of the ring-stacking considerations. This, in turn, gives the results that only some specific isomers of large fullerenes are selectively produced. The resulting fullerene structures specified are surprisingly well consistent with the recent experimental results. © 1993 Springer-Verlag. - T WAKABAYASHI; H SHIROMARU; K KIKUCHI; Y ACHIBACHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV 201 (5-6) 470 - 474 0009-2614 1993/01 [Refereed]
We propose a new fullerene growth model with a novel picture for selective isomer formation of higher fullerenes. The model described supposes that the fullerene intermediates, consisting of a 5- and 6-membered ring network (a cap-like structure), undergo a facile interconversion by a ''pentagon migration'' transformation. This energy stabilization process dramatically reduces the possible candidates of isomers with fullerene cages. The model also predicts the preferential formation of two specific isomers, D2(5)- and D2d(23)-C84 with a fraction ratio of 2:1. This conclusion is in contrast to the recent theoretical prediction that the D2(22) isomer with a different fullerene cage is more stable than the D2(5)-C84. - T WAKABAYASHI; Y ACHIBACHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV 190 (5) 465 - 468 0009-2614 1992/03 [Refereed]
A new ring-stacking model is proposed for preferential generation of C60 with I(h) symmetry and C70 with D5h symmetry in carbon soot. The model is constructed on the basis of the following two assumptions: (1) A carbon closed cage (fullerene) is formed by a sequential stacking with appropriate numbers and combinations of only even-numbered carbon rings. (2) The intermediates, as well as the final closed cages, consist of only hexagons and pentagons with no adjacent pentagons. - K KIKUCHI; N NAKAHARA; T WAKABAYASHI; M HONDA; H MATSUMIYA; T MORIWAKI; S SUZUKI; H SHIROMARU; K SAITO; K YAMAUCHI; IKEMOTO, I; Y ACHIBACHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV 188 (3-4) 177 - 180 0009-2614 1992/01 [Refereed]
A preparative high-performance liquid chromatography was examined for the isolation of higher fullerenes from CS2 extracts of the carbon soot produced by arc heating of graphite in inert atmosphere. At least eight all-carbon compounds C60, C70, C76, C78, C82, C84, C90 and C96 were confirmed as a "stable fullerene". C82 and C96 are new members of fullerene family which have not been reported so far. The presence of stable C82 seems to be closely related with the recent success of macroscopic quantities of production of LaC82 reported by Smalley's group. - Koichi Kikuchi; Nobuo Nakahara; Tomonari Wakabayashi; Shinzo Suzuki; Haruo Shiromaru; Yoko Miyake; Kazuya Saito; Isao Ikemoto; Masatsune Kainosho; Yohji AchibaNature 357 (6374) 142 - 145 0028-0836 1992 [Refereed]
FOLLOWING the development of a method for bulk synthesis of C60 and other fullerenes1, the isolation of higher fullerenes ranging from C76 to C96 has been achieved using chromatographic techniques2-5. Whereas C60 and C70 have unique, high-symmetry structures6, theoretical calculations for fullerenes larger than C76 have suggested that each may exist in at least two isomeric forms7. For C84, 24 isomers have been postulated7, and for C96calculations have yielded 196 distinct isomers8. Diederich et al.9 have used liquid chromatography and 13C NMR to identify two isomers of C78, but previous experimental studies of other higher fullerenes2 have produced ambiguous results. Here we use 13C NMR to determine the structures of some principal isomers of C78, C82 and C84. We find a third isomer of C78, which was not reported in ref. 9. Characterization of the structures of these larger fullerenes should provide new understanding of the factors determining the stability of hollow carbon clusters. © 1992 Nature Publishing Group. - S SUZUKI; T WAKABAYASHI; H MATSUURA; H SHIROMARU; C KITTAKA; Y ACHIBACHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV 182 (1) 12 - 16 0009-2614 1991/07 [Refereed]
A new method is proposed for producing a high-density beam of size-selected neutral clusters of metal or semiconductor materials. This method is based on photodetachment of negative cluster ions, size-selected and then tightly focused by two sets of einzel lens systems. This method was shown to focus the size-selected neutral cluster of C-10 beyond the limit of the "space charge" effect observed in the beam profile of C-10-.

- C123 Molecular dynamics simulation on the carbon cluster formation process by laser irradiation [Not invited]宮本 圭一; 山口 康隆; 稲葉 武彦; 若林 知成Procee[d]ings of Thermal Engineering Conference 2005/11The emission process of high temperature, high density carbon atoms into cold buffer gas is simulated by using the molecular dynamics method in order to investigate the formation process of carbon clusters under laser irradiation. The slag-like carbon material are initially decomposed from C_n (n>20) mostly into very small clusters C_n (n=2〜4) atoms, and the re-growth growth process of these small cluster into middle sized clusters of C_n (n=6〜10) follows afterwards. In the case of high pressure buffer gas condition, the second process is enhanced due to the trapping effect.

The most important result of the present research was an experimental proof of the principle with a two photon process from the vibrationally excited state of para-hydrogen molecules. Actually, the initial coherent states were prepared by an adiabatic Raman process, and two photon emissions were observed. As a result, a gigantic enhancement factor of the photon yields greater than 15 orders of magnitude was confirmed compared to its natural emission rate; it was found consistent with the theoretical prediction. Thus a big step has been made forward towards the neutrino mass spectroscopy with atoms. In addition, detailed studies on super-radiance and phase relaxation etc. were conducted as basic studies using various atoms and molecules.

When such an amplification mechanism works for a two-photon deexcitation process, for example, its rate is expected to be amplified. In our experiment, we prepared the vibrational excited states of hydrogen gas by adiabatic Raman scatterings, and observed the two photon cascade process. As a result we found that the rate of the observed process is amplified as the initial coherence increases and that its amplification factor agrees with the theoretical expectation. We have thus established the validity of macro-coherent amplification mechanism.

Superfluid He droplets are the clusters of He atoms, that possesses superfluid properties. It has been shown that one can easily trap molecules in He droplets, and perform high-resolution spectroscopy of free rotation in the droplets. The environment of He droplets does not perturb the embedded molecule significantly, so that the energy levels and other properties of the embedded molecule are almost the same as those of free molecules. Since the temperature of the droplets is 0.4 K, He droplets must be a unique system for the study of chemical reactions of molecules at low temperatures. In order to apply the technique of He droplets to the study of low temperature chemical reactions, we have developed a pulsed nozzle of He droplet as well as a new laser system that produces intense IR pulses during the period of this project. In addition, we have measured high-resolution LIF spectra of Phthalocyanine and its van der Waals clusters with Ne,Ar,N_2, and H_2. We could control the size of the van der Waals clusters around Phthalocyanine precisely. The success of the observation of the van der Waals clusters indicates that the technique of He droplets is useful not only for the study of chemical reactions, but also for controling chemical reactions by adjustiong the size of van der Waals clusters.

The purpose of this project is to determine the specific chemical reaction channels of linear and cyclic clusters and to use the knowledge for identification of the unknown UV/VIS absorption bands of the relevant clusters. In this project, we found that the UV absorption band at 235 nm of a carbon-containing Ne matrix at 6 K diminished upon irradiation with 235 nm photons. At the same time, we observed that the IR bands of linear C6 at 1959 cm-1 and 1199 cm-1 diminished concomitantly. Form this observation we concluded that the UV band is attributable to linear C6. Further investigations of the selective excitation of the UV and VIS bands of matrix-isolated carbon clusters lead to a finding of the new electronic system of C2 in a condensed phase that shows a matrix-dependent characteristic relaxation channel through fluorescent deactivations.

An exceptional feature of the crystal is its narrow spectral linewidth. Here, we have studied parahydrogen molecule itself and molecules embedded in parahydrogen crystal by high-resolution spectropscopy. From the analysis of fine structures, frequency shifts and spectral lineshape of the rotation-vinbration transitions, we have investigated specific nature of excitons and its relaxation dynamics in the quantum crystal. Some of the results are summarized as follows. (1) The first overtone vibrational transition of parahydrogen has been studied by high-resoultion laser spectroscopy. The fine spliting was interpreted as due to vibron hopping in the quantum crystal. Also, the quantum effect on the vibron could be discussed.(2) Temperature dependence on the linewdith of methane embedded in parahydrogen reveals that pure dephasing is predominant as the cause of the relaxation at low temperatures, but the dependence was completely different from those in classical solids. Moreover the polulation relaxation was found to strongly depend on the shape of vibrational modes.(3) Infrared absorption of gamma-ray irradiated parahydrogen has been studied. Infrared absorption of hydrogen molecules induced by ions produced by the irradiation was analyzed quantitatively. We have developed a new method to detect ions selectively by applying external electric field to the crystal.
