How to Characterize the Local Chemical Environment?

Several analytical techniques are employed to characterize the local chemical environment around a catalyst's active site:
X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS): This technique provides information about the oxidation state and coordination environment of the catalyst.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): NMR can offer insights into the electronic environment and dynamics of the atoms near the active site.
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): These techniques provide topographical and electronic information at the atomic level.
Infrared (IR) and Raman Spectroscopy: These techniques can be used to study the interaction between reactants and the active site by monitoring vibrational modes.
