Single-Crystal X-Ray Diffraction Study of Pressure and Temperature-Induced Spin Trapping in a Bistable Iron(II) Hofmann Framework.

High-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction has been used to trap both the low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) states of the iron(II) Hofmann spin crossover framework, [Fe (pdm)(H O)[Ag(CN) ] ⋅H O, under identical experimental conditions, allowing the structural changes arising from the spin-transition to be deconvoluted from previously reported thermal effects.

Nanoparticle-modified electrodes.

The behaviour of nanoparticle-modified electrodes is compared and contrasted with that of conventional unmodified macroelectrodes.

A changed electrode reaction mechanism between the nano- and macroscales.

Electrode kinetic data for the electro-reduction of 4-nitrophenol in aqueous solution are compared for bulk silver macro-electrodes and arrays of silver nanoparticles of size 15-50 nm. The electrode kinetics and mechanism change qualitatively and quantitatively.

The use of nanoparticles in electroanalysis: an updated review.

The use of nanoparticles in electroanalysis is an area of research which is continually expanding. A wealth of research is available discussing the synthesis, characterization and application of nanoparticles. The unique properties of nanoparticulate materials (e.
