Objectives of the Course
In the field of spectroelectrochemistry (SEC), the combination of type-oriented spectroscopy and reaction-based electrochemistry, a more complete analysis of single and multiple electron transfer processes and redox reactions is generally carried out. Practical considerations and guidelines will be provided within this course, and selected samples containing UV-VIS-NIR and IR absorption spectroscopy as well as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) will be presented to demonstrate the potential and applicability of this technique. The aim of this course is to explain the various technical approaches in spectroelectrochemistry and to reveal the benefits of concepts that are increasingly popular for graduate scientists.
