Toward understanding of the synergistic oxidation of adamantane and hydrogen sulfide by molecular oxygen and with a dinuclear iron(II) macrocyclic complex as a catalyst

The use of visible spectrometry, applied to the chromatic characterization of Roman wall paintings, allows easy and trustworthy grouping of the samples studied. The use of other spectroscopic techniques as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDS) in conjunction with X-ray diffraction (XRD) allows good identification of the substances present in the pictorial layers that define and differentiate each chromatic group. In this paper, a study of 21 Roman wall painting samples, from Cripta del Museo and Alcazaba (Merida, Badajoz, Spain), is described.
