How is UV-Vis Spectroscopy Integrated with Other Techniques in Catalysis Research?
To overcome some of its limitations and gain a comprehensive understanding of catalytic systems, UV-Vis spectroscopy is often integrated with other analytical techniques:
X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS): Provides complementary information on the local structure and oxidation state of catalysts. Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy: Offers insights into molecular vibrations and functional groups present in the catalyst. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): Provides detailed structural and dynamic information about the catalyst and reaction intermediates.
