News & Publications
Here, we have developed a new strategy to use multiple-reflection attenuated total reflectance IR spectroscopy (ATR-IR) coupled with electrochemistry to characterize catalysts directly integrated with a semiconductor surface under applied potential.
We report the synthesis of eleven 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) ligands functionalized for covalent immobilization on either metal oxide or hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces.
