TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the adsorption of carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide anion radical and acetonitrile using PMFTIRRAS and showed that the surface concentration of the latter species increases in the cathodic direction.

TL;DR: Searching transition state (TS) structures in different polar aprotic solvents, this work successfully regulate and control the stepwise ESDPT behaviors of BP(OH)2 through solvent polarity.
Abstract: In this work, we theoretically investigate the sequential excited state double proton transfer (ESDPT) mechanism of a representative intramolecular hydroxyl (OH)-type hydrogen molecule 2,2′-bipyridyl-3,3′-diol (BP(OH)2). We mainly adopt three kinds of different polar solvents (nonpolar cyclohexane (CYH), polar acetonitrile (ACN), and moderate chloroform (CHCl3)) to explore solvent effects on this system. Two intramolecular hydrogen bonds of BP(OH)2 are testified to be strengthened in the S1 state, which provides possibility for ESDPT process. Explorations of charge redistribution and potential energy surfaces (PESs) reveal ESDPT process. Searching transition state (TS) structures in different polar aprotic solvents, we successfully regulate and control the stepwise ESDPT behaviors of BP(OH)2 through solvent polarity.

TL;DR: In this article, the diffusion coefficients of both ferrocene and ferrocenium (Fc +) in acetonitrile containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammoniumperchlorate (TBAPF6) or 0. 1 M tetrasn-methanehexafluorophosphate (TBPF6), were determined using the technique of double potential step chronoamperometry at a microdisk electrode.
