reductions associated with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the ability to study reactions involving highly oxygen- and moisture-sensitive free radicals without the need for specialist containment.<\/li>\n<li>the cell is small and can be fitted into conventional spectro(photo)meters with little modification.<\/li>\n<li>the cell uses a small sample volume and electrolysis can be completed rapidly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Applications<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spectroelectrochemical techniques have been widely used in applications ranging from inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry to biochemistry, in the studies of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">redox pathways and series<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">electro catalytic reactions<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">mixed-valence complexes<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">redox active coordination and organometallic compounds<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">electron transfer in proteins and biomolecules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more examples, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/spectroelectrochemistry\/ottle-cell-applications\/\">Applications of OTTLE
