Homoleptic acetonitrile complexes [Gd(CH3CN)(9)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4) and [Eu(CH3CN)(9)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4) have been studied in anhydrous acetonitrile by N-14- and H-1 NMR relaxation as well as by X- and Q-band EPR. For each compound a combined analys ...
This work introduces trifluorotoluene as an alternative organic solvent for studying charge transfer across liquid vertical bar liquid interfaces. In comparison with the most popular organic solvents in this field, 1,2-dichloroethane and nitrobenzene, trif ...
This thesis is devoted to the study of oxygen reduction reaction catalysed by porphyrins at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES). Electrochemical and spectrophotometric techniques are introduced to these interfaces in order to ...
Controlled doping of SrCu2(BO3)(2), a faithful realization of the Heisenberg spin-1/2 antiferromagnet on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, with nonmagnetic impurities generates bound states below the spin gap. These bound states and their symmetry properties ...
Cobalt porphine (CoP) dissolved in the organic phase of a biphasic system is used to catalyze O2 reduction by an electron donor, ferrocene (Fc). Using voltammetry at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES), it is possible to driv ...
