The results suggested that a higher degree of functionalization was achieved with a pyrogallol derivative – as compared to its catechol analogue – based on the XPS analysis of the ceramic surface. The conjugation of organic ligands to the surface of these alumina materials was corroborated by DNP-MAS NMR measurements. 2012-02-22 00:00:00 covalently binding XPS analysis surface Organic LigandsDifferent alumina materials Surface Functionalization NMR
