The Brudvig group uses electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to characterize oxomanganese water-oxidation catalysts on the surfaces of TiO2 nanoparticles. In addition, photoinduced charge transfer and redox behavior of the surface Mn complexes are being investigated with low-temperature EPR and electrochemical measurements, respectively.

EPR spectra of a di-µ-oxo Mn dimer, [H2O(terpy)MnIII(μ-O)2 MnIV(terpy)H2O](NO3)3 (1, terpy = 2,2’:6’2”-terpyridine) on different TiO2 nanoparticles: (a) P25, (b) D450, and (c) D70. The 16-line EPR spectrum of complex 1 is also shown in the figure (d).
