“…This PCET slope has been very useful in studies of PCET in homogeneous systems, as it reports on the relative ratio m/n, providing information on the number of electrons and protons transferred during PCET. 36,57,71 In our case, we used the slopes observed for bpm to assign three PCET processes taking place in three pH regions: bpm/bpmH4 2+ Unlike the behavior of GNR-2DNS, CVs of RhGNR-2DNS films reveal two reversible, and partially overlapping, features across the entire aqueous pH region (Figure 2, red traces). We assigned these two reduction features to PCET at bipyrimidine moieties that are either uncoordinated (feature 1, peaks that appear at the same potential as GNR-2DNS at all pHs) or Rhcoordinated (feature 2, peaks appear at more positive potentials, due to the electron-withdrawing s-acceptor nature of Rh-atoms).…”
