| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of unique properties of water is network structures due to hydrogen bonds and their structural fluctuations. In this study, we performed a bottom-up approach from a viewpoint of molecular clusters to structural fluctuations of the hydrogen bond networks. In clusters, structural fluctuations can be observed as isomerization of clusters. Thus, we tried to perform a direct observation of infrared-induced isomerizations of hydrogen-bonded clusters containing phenol cations. As a result, we succeeded in capturing the structural change from a cyclic hydrogen bond structure to a chain structure and reverse process of from a chain to a cyclic hydrogen bond structures by cooling process. This result can be expected for future development.
