Title: Measuring Level Alignment at the Metal–Molecule Interface by In Situ Electrochemical 13C NMR

Journal Article · · ChemPhysChem, 16(4):747-751

A new technique to measure energy-level alignment at a metal–molecule interface between the Fermi level of the metal and the frontier orbitals of the molecule is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The method, which combines the electrochemistry of organo-ligand-stabilized Au nanoparticles with 13C NMR spectroscopy (i.e. in situ electrochemical NMR), enables measuring both occupied and unoccupied states.
