Insight into catalysis through novel study of X-ray absorption spectroscopy

(Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin f ü r Materialien und Energie) An international team has made a breakthrough at BESSY II. For the first time, they succeeded in investigating electronic states of a transition metal in detail and drawing reliable conclusions on their catalytic effect from the data. These results are helpful for the development of future applications of catalytic transition-metal systems. The work has now been published in Chemical Science, the Open Access journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
