Spontaneous ligand loss by soft landed [Ni(bpy) 3 ] 2+ ions on perfluorinated self-assembled monolayer surfaces

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: diminishes the distortion of the cation due to interactions with the surface. This interaction stabilizes the soft landed cation by reducing the extent of charge reduction and its structural reorganization. Overall, this study shows the intricate interplay of charge state, ion surface interactions, and stabilization by counterions on the structure and reactivity of metal complexes on surfaces. The combined experimental and computational approach used in this study offers detailed insights into factors that affect the integrity and stability of active species relevant to energy production and catalysis.
