Monte-Carlo Run

Charge transfer dynamics of model charge transfer centres of a multi-centre water splitting dye complex on rutile TiO2(110)

M. Weston et al, J. Chem. Phys.(2011)

This paper is our first relating to the photocatalytic splitting of water molecules by a larger, multi-centre organometallic complex adsorbed on a titanium dioxide surface. In this experiment, carried out using in-situ electrospray deposition at the Maxlab synchrotron in Sweden, we take a look at the charge transfer dynamics of excited electrons on these molecules. Using the core-hole clock implementation of resonant photoemission, we can measure the charge transfer time for electrons going from previously unoccupied molecular orbitals on the dye into the conduction band of the oxide substrate.

Hotel de Paris

The legendary 5* Hôtel de Paris will hopefully be our home for the night, providing access to the health spa, beach club and the Casino. The hotel's underground car park will take care of the cars.

Monte-Carlo Run

The 2011 Monte-Carlo Run is now in the planning stage. Participation is by invitation only. The idea is to drive to Monaco and meet up in the Place du Casino in Monte-Carlo, before relaxing in the Monte Carlo Beach Club, Thermes Marins spa, and in the evening the Casino de Monte Carlo.

Molecularspray Ltd

Molecularspray provides complete solutions for the deposition of fragile, non-volatile molecules at surfaces under UHV conditions, with a powerful portable UHV-compatible electrospray deposition system and compact high-voltage power supplies. I am currently acting as a scientific consultant to Molecularspray through University of Nottingham Consultants.
