Abstract

We present procedures for determining the nature of charge-transfer excited states in transition metal complexes relevant to energy conversion and chemical sensing processes. In particular, we analyze the importance of resorting to both spectroelectrochemical and photophysical techniques to elucidate the “fingerprints” of the intermediates involved in the fate of these reactions. Our contributions to the subject are discussed.

Néstor Eduardo Katz, INQUINOA (UNT - CONICET)

Néstor E. Katz graduated as Doctor in Chemistry in 1978, with a thesis directed by Dr. Pedro J. Aymonino at UNLP. He completed his postdoctoral studies with Dr. Norman Sutin and Dr. Carol Creutz at BNL, USA, and with Dr. Thomas J. Meyer at UNC at Chapel Hill, USA. He has directed 8 doctoral theses and published 86 papers on the synthesis and properties of new coordination compounds of iron, cobalt, ruthenium, osmium and rhenium that are relevant to energy conversion and chemical sensing. He is Full Professor of Physical Chemistry at UNT, Principal Researcher at CONICET and Director of INQUINOA (CONICET-UNT).
