Progress partially depends on exploring the basic electrochemistry of O2 reduction. Here we describe the effect of complexing-cations on the electrochemical reduction of O2 in DMSO in the presence and absence of a Li salt. The solubility of alkaline peroxides in DMSO is enhanced by the complexing-cations, consistent with their strong interaction with reduced O2. The complexing-cations also increase the rate of the 1-electron O2 reduction to O2•– by up to six-fold (k° = 2.4 ×10–3 to 1.5 × 10–2 cm s–1) whether or not Li+ ions are present. In the absence of Li+, the complexing-cations also promote the reduction of O2•– to O22–. In the presence of Li+ and complexing-cations, and despite the interaction of the reduced O2 with the latter, SERS confirms that the product is still Li2O2.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1021/jp4093805","day":"29","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1932-7447","1932-7455"]}},{"publisher":"American Chemical Society (ACS)","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","page":"9416-9430","intvolume":"       117","month":"05","title":"Molecular origins of the high-performance nonlinear optical susceptibility in a phenolic polyene chromophore: Electron density distributions, hydrogen bonding, and ab initio calculations","date_created":"2019-05-03T09:40:31Z","oa_version":"None","publication_status":"published","issue":"18","author":[{"full_name":"Lin, Tze-Chia","first_name":"Tze-Chia","last_name":"Lin"},{"full_name":"Cole, Jacqueline M.","first_name":"Jacqueline M.","last_name":"Cole"},{"id":"4AD6785A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Higginbotham","first_name":"Andrew P","full_name":"Higginbotham, Andrew P","orcid":"0000-0003-2607-2363"},{"full_name":"Edwards, Alison J.","first_name":"Alison J.","last_name":"Edwards"},{"first_name":"Ross O.","last_name":"Piltz","full_name":"Piltz, Ross O."},{"first_name":"Javier","last_name":"Pérez-Moreno","full_name":"Pérez-Moreno, Javier"},{"full_name":"Seo, Ji-Youn","first_name":"Ji-Youn","last_name":"Seo"},{"full_name":"Lee, Seung-Chul","last_name":"Lee","first_name":"Seung-Chul"},{"last_name":"Clays","first_name":"Koen","full_name":"Clays, Koen"},{"full_name":"Kwon, O-Pil","first_name":"O-Pil","last_name":"Kwon"}],"_id":"6370","publication":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry C","status":"public","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","extern":"1","volume":117,"abstract":[{"text":"The molecular and supramolecular origins of the superior nonlinear optical (NLO) properties observed in the organic phenolic triene material, OH1 (2-(3-(4-hydroxystyryl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile), are presented. The molecular charge-transfer distribution is topographically mapped, demonstrating that a uniformly delocalized passive electronic medium facilitates the charge-transfer between the phenolic electron donor and the cyano electron acceptors which lie at opposite ends of the molecule. Its ability to act as a “push–pull” π-conjugated molecule is quantified, relative to similar materials, by supporting empirical calculations; these include bond-length alternation and harmonic-oscillator stabilization energy (HOSE) tests. Such tests, together with frontier molecular orbital considerations, reveal that OH1 can exist readily in its aromatic (neutral) or quinoidal (charge-separated) state, thereby overcoming the “nonlinearity-thermal stability trade-off”. The HOSE calculation also reveals a correlation between the quinoidal resonance contribution to the overall structure of OH1 and the UV–vis absorption peak wavelength in the wider family of configurationally locked polyene framework materials. Solid-state tensorial coefficients of the molecular dipole, polarizability, and the first hyperpolarizability for OH1 are derived from the first-, second-, and third-order electronic moments of the experimental charge-density distribution. The overall solid-state molecular dipole moment is compared with those from gas-phase calculations, revealing that crystal field effects are very significant in OH1. The solid-state hyperpolarizability derived from this charge-density study affords good agreement with gas-phase calculations as well as optical measurements based on hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) and electric-field-induced second harmonic (EFISH) generation. This lends support to the further use of charge-density studies to calculate solid-state hyperpolarizability coefficients in other organic NLO materials. Finally, this charge-density study is also employed to provide an advanced classification of hydrogen bonds in OH1, which requires more stringent criteria than those from conventional structure analysis. As a result, only the strongest OH···NC interaction is so classified as a true hydrogen bond. Indeed, it is this electrostatic interaction that influences the molecular charge transfer: the other four, weaker, nonbonded contacts nonetheless affect the crystal packing. Overall, the establishment of these structure–property relationships lays a blueprint for designing further, more NLO efficient, materials in this industrially leading organic family of compounds.","lang":"eng"}],"day":"09","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1932-7447","1932-7455"]},"doi":"10.1021/jp400648q","type":"journal_article","date_published":"2013-05-09T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ama":"Lin T-C, Cole JM, Higginbotham AP, et al.
