Multiple Surface Site Three-Dimensional Structure Determination of a Supported Molecular Catalyst

Pierrick Berruyer, Moreno Lelli, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan, Zhuoran Wang

The structural characterization of supported molecular catalysts is challenging due to the low density of active sites and the presence of several organic/organometallic surface groups resulting from the often complex surface chemistry associated with supp ...
