Front Cover: The Buoy Effect: Surface Enrichment of a Pt Complex in IL Solution by Ligand Design (Chem. Eur. J. 3/2023). Issue 3 (30th December 2022) - Hemmeter, Daniel
Abstract : Fluorinated side chains of a functionalized Pt complex in an ionic liquid act as buoys, leading to pronounced enrichment of the complex at the IL/gas interface, as is evidenced by strongly enhanced Pt signals in angle‐resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. For complexes without these side chains no such effect is observed. More information can be found in the Research Article by H.‐P. Steinrück and co‐workers. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203325 ).
