Quantized double-layer charging of rhodium(2057)(tridecylamine)(321) clusters by using differential pulse and cyclic voltammetry
Rhodium nanoclusters show a series of quantized double-layer-charging events in solution-phase voltammetry at room temperature (see figure). The unusual variation in the FWHM for both the cathodic and anodic regions in differential pulse voltammetry experiments can be explained by several complex factors including reorganization and disproportionation of charged clusters coupled with electron-transfer processes pertaining to the Rh-Rh bonds.
