Electronic interaction between dimethyl carbonate and Li+ studied by attenuated total reflectance far-ultraviolet spectroscopy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Jun 18;60(50):6375-6378. doi: 10.1039/d4cc01775g.

Abstract

Organic electrolytes with Li+ were analyzed by far-ultraviolet (≤200 nm) spectroscopy, achieved by an attenuated total reflectance setup. The spectra showed a redshift with Li+ addition, attributed to the charge transfer, as revealed by quantum chemical calculations. Multivariate analysis successfully decomposed the spectra into pure solvent and Li-coordinated solvent components.
