Molecular electrochemistry. An overview of a cross-field: Electrochemistry/spectroscopic/theoretical integrated approach

This work summarizes state-of-the-art results achieved by combining, in a synergetic approach, the outcome obtained by electrochemical, spectroscopic and theoretical methods. A number of selected case-studies are reported, where such a synergetic approach enables to draw a complete picture of complex experimental systems. Finally, the relevance of the combined experimental and theoretical approach in solid-state electrochemistry, a territory amidst novel concepts in solid-state electronics, is recapped. • Electrochemical, spectroscopic (UV-Vis and vibrational: specroelectrochemistry SEC) and theoretical integrated approach. • Interface aspects between solid-state molecular electrochemistry and applications in the field of electronics. • A quite recent in situ Raman spectro-electrochemistry, μSEC Raman, is briefly surveyed. • Ab-initio Molecular Dynamics results to probe the reaction mechanism at a molecular level.
