A new solid-to-solid relayed DNP approach enables sensitivity-enhanced NMR of surfaces that are incompatible with conventional radical impregnation. Just published in JACS, in collaboration with the Lesage group in Lyon! pubs.acs.org/jacsat/artic...

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are said to bridge heterogeneous and molecular catalysis. But how “molecular” is our understanding? Our latest JACS provides a molecular-level description of the metal–support interface in a prototypical SAC: Pt₁/γ-Al₂O₃. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6c09006

Metal–Support Interfaces in Pt1/γ-Al2O3 Single Atom Catalysts with Atomic-Level Precision
Abstract. Single atom catalysts (SACs) appear as a promising class of materials featuring isolated metal atoms anchored to supports, where the advantages o

Pioneering works explained the MOs of metal clusters through a fragment approach, later supported by DFT. Here, we show that 195Pt ssNMR fingerprints of Chini clusters encode information about their electronic structure. Read about our work in @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Yesterday, Anna, Enzo and Domenico delivered their public presentation. Topics included the study of chlorinated materials with NQR; advanced microscopy of supported catalysts and NMR of metal centers. One further step before their PhD defence. Congratulations!

Catalytic processes often occur at solid-liquid interfaces, and understanding what's going on there is challenging. To do this, we used OE-DNP NMR. We could also gain a molecular understanding of catalyst leaching process, a common issue in hererogeneous catalysis. @jacs.acspublications.org

This great collaborative work is finally out! Proud to see how the advancement of our understanding of 195Pt NMR signatures enables to describe heterogeneous catalysts in such detail.

This was a lot of fun! A nice example of how an equation can be used to tackle a long-standing problem in chemistry.

γ-Al2O3 is ubiquitous in catalysis. Here we used 1H/27Al NMR cross-signatures (at 1.2 GHz) and DFT modeling to assign surface sites to specific edges and surfaces. Read our work in JACS @pubs.acs.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
