Here, we show three examples of how XAS techniques are very useful to provide an exhaustive information about the oxidation state and coordination environment of MCs and SACs::
- Pd SACs spontaneously formed after dissolving in neat benzyl alcohols. The gram-scale preparation and stabilization of Pd SACs within the functional channels of a novel methyl-cysteine-based metal–organic framework...

2. The role of atomic bond strengths and structural disorder in MXene materials for rechargeable ion-batteries

Oral

Ion batteries are a key technology and play a dominant role in today's world [1]. Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to exploring and developing new cathode materials with higher capacities and lifetimes [2].
Recently, a new family of transition metal carbides and carbonitrides called “MXene” has been synthesized with a layered hexagonal structure and M_n+1X_n...

54. New pathways to gold chemistry: Electronics at Au centers with non-innocent and ambiphilic ligands

Oral

Transition metal driven chemical transformations in organic synthesis offer the promise of new retro-synthetic strategies for generating novel organic compounds. Efforts are continuously being directed at finding unprecedented reactivity for various transition metals in the hopes of developing, new selectivity, catalytic efficiency and sustainability. Recently gold has garnered significant...
