An X-ray absorption spectroscopy investigation of the coordination environment of electrogenerated Ni(ii)-pseudohalide complexes arising from the anodic polarization of Ni electrodes in DMSO solutions of NCO−, NCS− and NCSe− ions

Abstract

EXAFS/XANES measurements combined with IR spectroelectrochemistry directly probe in situ the coordination sphere of electrogenerated ions in metal electrode systems so obviating the need to isolate ions unchanged from the electrolyte for analysis.
