Variation in the metal centres of M-M paddle-wheel SBU results in the formation of isostructural DUT-49(M) frameworks. However, the porosity of the framework was found to be different for each of the structures. While a high and moderate porosity was obtained for DUT-49(Cu) and DUT-49(Ni), respectively, other members of the series [DUT-49(M); M= Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Cd] show very low porosity and shapes of the adsorption isotherms which is not expected for op phases of these MOFs. Investigation on those MOFs revealed that those frameworks undergo structural collapse during the solvent removal at the activation step. Thus, herein, we aimed to study the detailed structural transformations that are possibly occurring during the removal of the subcritical fluid from the framework.

Aqueous-solution/solid interfaces are ubiquitous in modern manufacturing environments as well as in our living environment, and studies of such interfaces are an active area of science and engineering research. An important area is the study of liquid/solid interfaces under active electrochemical control, which has many immediate technological implications, for example, corrosion/passivation of metals and energy storage in batteries and ultracapacitors. The central phenomenon of electrochemistry is the charge transfer at the interface, and the region of interest is usually wider than a single atomic layer, ranging from a monolayer to thousands of angstroms, extending into both phases.Despite the technological and environmental importance of liquid/solid interfaces, the atomic level understanding of such interfaces had been very much hampered by the absence of nondestructive, in situ experimental techniques. The situation has changed somewhat in recent decades with the development of the largely ex situ ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) surface science, modern spectroscopic techniques, and modern surface microscopy.However in situ experiments of electrochemical interfaces are difficult, stemming from the special nature of these interfaces. These are so-called buried interfaces in which the solid electrode surface is covered by a relatively thick liquid layer. For this reason, the probe we use in the structural investigation must satisfy simultaneously two conditions: (1) the technique must be surface/interface sensitive, and (2) absorption of the probe in the liquid phase must be sufficiently small for penetration to and from the interface of interest without significant intensity loss.

The anodic dissolution of p-Si has been investigated by in situ infrared spectroscopy. The combination of potential-difference and electromodulated spectroscopies allows for the acquisition of a rather complete picture of the various regimes of the dissolution. After a review of general principles for studying electrochemical interfaces, a study of the interfacial oxide layer formed in the electropolishing regime is presented. Quantitative analysis shows that the thickness and quality of the oxide (density and defect content) depend upon electrode potential. Free-carrier absorption detected in electromodulated spectra shows that the blocking character of the oxide is correlated with the buildup of a stoichiometric oxide of low defectivity at sufficiently positive potentials. Furthermore, the dynamic response to the modulation reveals that oxides formed at weak positive potentials interact with electrolyte species through electro-induced adsorptions/desorptions on charged SiOH sites. At more positive potentials, charge is transported across the oxide by charged defects which could be associated with tricoordinated, positively charged SiO species. Finally, results obtained during porous silicon formation at weak positive potentials are presented. Potential-difference spectroscopy indicates that the electrode exhibits a very large specific surface area, and that the surface is covered by SiH bonds. Electromodulated infrared spectroscopy reveals that the SiH species are generated upon anodic current flowing and that the breaking of these bonds is the rate-limiting step of the anodic reaction. These unexpected results have given rise to the elaboration of new microscopic models for the direct anodic dissolution of silicon in fluoride electrolytes.
