Coordination of the Studies on Free Radical Science

成立了一个指导委员会，确定了协调的基本方针，安排了关于研究计划和成果的座谈会以及关于特定主题的座谈会，每年一次，以扩大和深化成员的研究范围。该委员会每年大约三次发布自由基信，以促进研究小组之间的协调和合作。指导委员会每年举行两次会议，研究如何推动该小组的整体活动。为了协助指导委员会，五个研究小组的代表每年举行几次会议，五个代表中的两个和协调员(首席调查员)讨论了一些紧急问题，如如何准备听证。一些成员主要根据本研究取得的成果编写了一本名为“自由基科学”的日文书，并申请补助金出版科学研究成果。该小组的7名成员在1996年11月25日和26日举行的“材料-它们的功能和转变”研讨会上作了发言。广田取得了以下结果：(1)观察和分析了DCO的Nu_3带和甲酰基的分子结构和分子内势函数；(2)观察和分析了近红外振动带，并从理论上考虑了NO_3自由基的振动带和塞曼效应。研制了用于分析NO_3可见光波段的受激发射泵浦(SEP)光谱分析系统，(3)SiH_2 5微米波段的观测和分析。

A steering committee was set up ; it determined the fundamental policy for the coordination, made arrangements for the symposia on research plans and on results and also for the symposia on specific topics, once a year, to extend and deepen the research scope of the members. The Committee issued Free Radical Letters, about three times in each year, for promoting coordination and collaboration among research groups. The Steering Committee was held twice a year, working on how to forward the activities of the group as a whole. In order to aid the Steering Committee, the Representatives of the Five Research Groups met together several times in each year, and two of the five Representatives and the Coordinator (Head Investigator) discussed some urgent problems such as how to prepare for hearing. A book in Japanese entitled "Free Radical Science" was prepared by a few members based mainly on the results obtained in the present research, and an application was made to Grant-in-aid for publication of scientific research results for its publication. Seven members of the group gave talks at a symposium on "Materials-their Functions and Transformations" held on the 25th and 26th November 1996.Hirota obtained the following results : (1) observation and analysis of the nu_3 band of DCO and molecular structure and intramolecular potential function of the formyl radical, (2) observation and analysis of a near-infrared vibronic band and theoretical consideration on vibronic bands and Zeeman effects of the NO_3 radical. Development of a stimulated emission pumping (SEP) spectroscopic system for the analysis of the visible band of NO_3, (3) observation and analysis of SiH_2 5 mum bands.
