Coordination of the Studies on Free Radical Science

成立了一个指导委员会;它确定了协调的基本政策，安排了关于研究计划和结果的研讨会，并安排了每年一次的具体专题研讨会，以扩大和深化成员的研究范围。该委员会每年大约发布三次《自由激进分子信件》，以促进研究小组之间的协调与合作。指导委员会每年举行两次会议，研究如何推动整个小组的活动。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，五个代表中的两个代表和协调员（首席研究员）讨论了一些紧迫的问题，如如何准备听证会。几个成员主要根据本研究所获得的结果编写了一本日文书，题为“自由基科学”，并向补助金申请出版科研成果。1996年11月25日和26日，该小组的7名成员在“材料--它们的功能和转换”专题讨论会上发表了演讲。（1）对DCO分子的nu_3带和甲酰自由基的分子结构及分子内势能函数进行了观察和分析，（2）近红外电子振动带的观测和分析，以及NO_3自由基电子振动带和塞曼效应的理论思考。建立了NO_3分子可见光谱分析的受激发射泵浦（SEP）光谱系统。（3）SiH_2分子5 μ m谱带的观测与分析。

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.
