Coherent Photochemical Reactions and Their Controls in Sequential Molecular System

本研究项目的目的是建立高组织分子系统中光化学反应的相干性，并通过调节反应的量子力学相来控制它。在这一年中，研究工作的方向是对项目成果进行总结：(1)准备最终评估的文件；(2)发表项目成果的论文；(3)安排有关现象的研讨会。在2002年10月8日举行的最终评估中，该项目被评为A+（最高等级）。该项目的成员在每次合作作品中进一步发表。第三届分子体系相干光化学反应及其在分子器件中的应用学术研讨会于2002年11月21日至22日在北海道大学召开。项目成员和众多相关研究人员（150名参与者）进行了为期两天的热烈而富有成果的讨论。

The purpose of this research project is to establish the coherent nature of photochemical reaction in highly organized molecular systems and its control by regulating the quantum mechanical phase of reaction. In this year, the resarch work is directed toward making a summary of the results of this project : (1) Preparation of the documents for the final evaluation, (2) publication of the papers presenting the results of the project, and (3) arrangement of the seminar discussing on the related phenomena. At the final evaluation held on October 8, 2002, the result of this project was evaluated to be A+ (the highest grade). Further publication has been made by the members of this project in every cooperative work. The 3rd Symposium on Coherent Photochemical Reactions in Molecular Systems and Its Application to Molecular Devices was held in Hokkaido University on November 21-22, 2002. The project members and many researchers related to the subject (150 participants) had an enthusiastic and fruitful discussion for two days.
