Photoelectrochemical processes at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions

This thesis is devoted to the photoelectrochemical characterisation of the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions. A number of new phenomena are reported and analysed. These include photoinitiated ion transfer, photosensitised ion transfer, interfacial photoanation of the [Ru(bpy)<...
