Program for Leading Graduate Schools“Integrative Graduate Education and Research Programin Green Natural Sciences”
The Program for Leading Graduate Schools “Integrative Graduate Education and Research Program inGreen Natural Sciences” (2011–2017), spearheaded by Prof. Kunio Awaga, has commendably been adopted andcommenced.

Pictured left is Prof. Awaga at the program’s orientation meeting.
Attended by students of the targeted academic departments as well
as faculty wishing to learn about the full spectrum of the program,the auditorium filled with an enthusiastic audience who came tohear about the new program based on cooperation in the fields
of science, engineering, and agriculture and linking universities toresearch institutes.

ment of Synthesis of New Molecule-based Magnet
Materials and Organic Electronics.” As a global researchleader in the development of molecule-based magnet
materials, Prof. Miller is especially known for suchaccomplishments as the development of the world’s
first molecule-based magnet compound that uses
organic radicals as a component, and a molecule-based
ferromagnet with the transition temperature exceeding room temperature. During his stay at RCMS, Prof.
Miller gave us many ideas regarding the design andapplication of novel functional molecular materials, andactivated research activities through measurements
such as Raman spectroscopy and elemental analysis of
the samples of the Prussian Blue analogues he broughtfrom the University of Utah.
Prof. Miller, brimming with curiosity, also madenumerous visits to chemistry laboratories throughout
Nagoya University during his stay and enjoyed participating in many discussions. His wife accompanied
him on both visits to Japan, where they traveled tosightseeing spots in and around Nagoya, especiallyliking the traditional and old-fashioned atmosphere of
Inuyama Castle.

Assistant Professor and later as an Associate Professor.
Prof. Cramer then became the dean of chemistry department in 1986, and in 2006 was conferred the title ofProfessor Emeritus. Through offering much advice in hislaboratory seminars, sharing his vast knowledge of coordination chemistry and single-crystal X-ray structural
analysis, Prof. Cramer offered us many suggestions to theresearches in the Inorganic Chemistry laboratory during
his stay at RCMS. He also finished many of incomplete
and unsolved structures, through which he indicated us
the importance of learning the correct X-ray structural
analysis. When a student brought in a new data set,
he sat down with him and explained X-ray structural
analysis from principle to practice in details, and as aresult students were able to improve various structural
analysis skills. Furthermore, as a native English speaker,
he not only corrected papers for submission but also
helped to improve peoples’ English levels at RCMS
through everyday conversation.

Prof. Cramer received his doctorate in 1969 fromthe University of Illinois and become a professor at the
University of Hawaii in 1980 after first serving as an

9RCMS NEWSResearch Topic
Visualizing correlated intramolecular hydrogen migration
by ultrashort intense laser pulses
Recent advances in laser technology enabled us togenerate ultrashort intense laser pulses (~1015 W/cm2).
Molecules exposed to such intense laser fields promptly
eject several electrons to form multiply charged ions,and then undergo a rapid bond breaking process dueto the Coulombic repulsion between the constituent
atoms. The rapid bond breaking, called “Coulomb
explosion”, provides a unique approach to visualize theinstantaneous molecular structure during chemical
reaction processes, because the momenta of the resultant fragment ions reflect sensitively the geometricalstructure of the molecule at the time of laser irradiation.
Recently we demonstrated that hydrogen migration during the isomerization process in deuterated
acetylene dication can be visualized by time-resolved
Coulomb explosion imaging using a pair of sub-10 fs
intense laser pulses [1]. Here we extend our previous
study by using 4-body Coulomb explosion imaging toclarify the correlated motion of the two hydrogen atoms
during the migration [2].
A pair of sub-10 fs intense laser pulses was employed as the pump and probe pulses. The pump pulse
was used to doubly ionize acetylene, C2D2 → C2D22+ + 2e–,and to trigger the migration of deuterium atoms. The
probe pulse introduced after a time delay (Δt) further
ionizes the molecule to C 2D 24+. The fragment ionsgenerated in the Coulomb explosion process, C2D24+ →D+ + C+ + C+ + D+, are detected using the coincidence
momentum imaging method. The momentum of eachfragment ion is determined in single Coulomb explosion
events (Fig. 1(a)). The difference of the momentum of the
two C+ ions, p34 = p3 – p4 , is used to define the C-C bond.
The angles θ1 and θ2 between p34 and the momenta, p1
and p2, therefore, represent the position of the deuterium atoms in molecular frame.
Figure 1 (b) shows the experimental correlation
map of the momentum angles θ1 and θ2 for the two deuterium atoms. At a short time delay Δt = 30 fs (Fig. 1(b)),
distributions are found around (θ1 , θ2) = (0°,180°) and(180°,0°), which shows that the two deuterium atoms
dissociates along the C-C bond in opposite directions.
This indicates that the deuterium atoms are aroundtheir original carbon cites, and the acetylene structure
is preserved at this time delay. On the other hand, at
Δt = 90 fs, a new feature appears around θ1 = θ2= 90°,10which shows that the deuterium
atoms moved from their original
carbon cites towards the other.
The strong distribution isobserved along the diagonalline (θ2+ θ1= 180°) in Fig. 1(b).
This shows that the increase inθ1 is always accompanied by thedecrease in θ2, indicating thatthe motions of the two deuterium atoms are correlated
strongly.
By changing the wavelength and intensity of thepump pulse, the method used in this study can beapplied to a variety of reaction processes to provide
deep insights into the chemical reaction and offer a newprospect on efficient reaction control.

Report from the Chemical Instrumentation Facility
As a shared facility for all of Nagoya University, theChemical Instrumentation Facility (CIF) has 11 nuclear
magnetic resonance spectrometers (NMR), 6 mass
spectrometers, an electron spin resonance spectrometer,a circular dichroism polarimeter, an infrared spectrophotometer, a UV/Vis/NIR spectrophotometer, a fluorescence
spectrophotometer, a polarimeter, a polarized Zeeman
atomic absorption spectrometry, and a CHN elemental
analyzer. Furthermore, the CIF has taken on the role of
the Nagoya University window for SciFinder, an online
Chemistry information search service. In 2011, to show
the “CIF Utilization Status,” 72 research groups within
Nagoya University registered, with the number of registered faculty, students, and researchers reaching 658.
Year by year, the number of registered research groups
will increase, and the CIF will take on an ever-increasinglarge role in Nagoya University’s scientific research.
