Funded Activity Summary

THE FIRST DEVELOPMENT OF MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SPECTRO-ELECTROCHEMISTRY AND ITS APPLICATION TO CRUCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS IN INORGANIC SYSTEMS. Electrolysis is a very widespread and efficient method of chemical synthesis both in industry and research. However, the link between the control voltage and the resultant current is often complicated and easily misinterpreted. To overcome this fundamental problem, we propose an optical spectro-electrochemistry instrument based on a two-dimensional CCD detection array. This radically new approach enables simultaneous spectroscopic and spatial data mapping in the realm adjacent to an electrode surface. Important applications range from unequivocal identification of elusive molecules to monitoring metal corrosion. Our first objective is to elucidate certain crucial transformations of mono- and binuclear heavy metal complexes.
