Halogen chemistry plays a central role in the industrial manufacture of various important
chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. It involves the reaction of halogens or halides …

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

This critical review describes the reactivity of heterogeneous catalysts from the point of view
of four simple, but essential for Chemistry, molecules (namely dihydrogen, carbon …

Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy has been used to study
short range order in heterometallic alloys for almost four decades. In this critical review …

We report a careful characterization of the interaction of NH3 with the Cu (II) sites of the
[Cu2C4O8] paddle-wheel cornerstone of the HKUST-1 metallorganic framework, also known …

In the last decade the appearance of progressively more sophisticated codes, together with
the increased computational capabilities, has made XANES a spectroscopic technique able …

The pure X-ray Absorption (XAS) spectral constituents and related concentration profiles

We present three methods of the synthesis of zirconium metal–organic framework UiO-67
functionalized with platinum bipyridine coordination complexes (bpydcPtIICl2 and …

The large unit cells, the enormous flexibility and variation in structural motifs of MOFs
represent a big challenge in the characterization of MOF materials, particularly in cases …

The structural kinetics of surface events on a Pt3Co/C cathode catalyst in a polymer
electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) was investigated by operando time-resolved X-ray absorption …
