Optimized Finite Difference Method for the Full-Potential XANES Simulations: Application to Molecular Adsorption Geometries in MOFs and Metal–Ligand Intersystem Crossing Transients

TL;DR: Ni K-edge XANES simulations performed by the accelerated version of the code allowed analyzing the coordination geometry of CO and NO on the Ni active sites in CPO-27-Ni MOF, and the X-ray absorption spectrum for the intermediate triplet state with expected 100 fs lifetime was theoretically predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-ray emission spectroscopy to study ligand valence orbitals in Mn coordination complexes

TL;DR: A spectroscopic method is discussed to determine the character of chemical bonding and for the identification of metal ligands in coordination and bioinorganic chemistry based on the analysis of satellite lines in X-ray emission spectra that arise from transitions between valence orbitals and the metal ion 1s level (valence-to-core XES).
Journal ArticleDOI

Palladium versus Platinum: The Metal in the Catalytic Center of a Molecular Photocatalyst Determines the Mechanism of the Hydrogen Production with Visible Light

TL;DR: Investigating the nature of the catalytically active metal center in a (N^N)MCl2 (M=Pd or Pt) coordination sphere has a significant impact on the mechanism of the hydrogen formation, and for Pt a fundamentally different catalytic mechanism without the involvement of colloids is confirmed.
