Surface electron tuning : Combined EPR and UV/Vis‐NIR spectroscopic studies bring evidence for excess electron delocalisation at the surface of MgO as a function of hydroxyl coverage (see picture). The presence of surface hydroxyl groups induces domains of interacting paramagnetic centres on the surface of MgO providing a way of tuning the degree of electron delocalisation on the surface.
