The Effect Of Solvent Type On The Infrared Spectrum Of Carbon Monoxide Adsorbed At Platinum Electrodes, Mark Anderson, Daniel Blackwood, Thomas Richmond, Stanley Pons Dec 1988

The Effect Of Solvent Type On The Infrared Spectrum Of Carbon Monoxide Adsorbed At Platinum Electrodes, Mark Anderson, Daniel Blackwood, Thomas Richmond, Stanley Pons

Mark R. Anderson

The infrared spectrum of CO adsorbed on a platinum electrode from several solvents was investigated. In N-methylformamide, acetonitrile, and 1,2-dichloroethane, the infrared band attributed to linearly bonded CO had experimental Stark tuning rates of 20 cm−1/V, 22 cm−1/V, and 19 cm−1/V, respectively. For each of these solvents, the potential dependence of the band position was found to be linear for the entire potential range investigated. When methanol was the solvent, the plot of the band position versus potential had three distinctly linear portions, each with a different value for the slope. The behavior is explained in terms of the ability …

Electrochemical oxidation of vanadium hexacarbonyl anion, V(Co)6 in aprotic solvents results in formation of the V(0) complex which decomposes to form CO in high concentrations next to the electrode surface. As a result, CO is more rapidly adsorbed on the surface than by conventional methods. Surface reflection infrared spectroscopy shows that the potential dependent frequency shift for the infrared active bands due to CO adsorbed on platinum is 19 cm−1/V in 1,2-dichloroethane and 22 cm−1/V in acetonitrile, which are considerably less than the 30 cm−1/V observed in aqueous systems.

Surface-Enhanced Raman Study: Effect Of Ph And Electrode Potential On The Interfacial Behavior Of Some Substituted Pyridines, Mark Anderson, Daniel Evans

Mark R. Anderson

The surface-enhanced Raman spectra (SERS) provide information about the extent of protonation of the species adsorbed at the silver/aqueous solution interface. The compounds investigated were 4-pyridylcarbinol (1), 4-acetylpyridine (2), 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (3), isonicotinic acid (4), isonicotinamide (5), 4-benzoylpyridine (6), 4-(aminomethyl)pyridine (7) and 4-aminopyridine (8). For 1, the fraction of the adsorbed species which was protonated at -0.20 V vs. SCE varied with pH in a manner indicating stronger adsorption of the neutral than the cationic form. The fraction protonated increased at more negative potentials. Similar results were obtained with 3. For all compounds but 4, bands due to the unprotonated species …

Surface-Enhanced Raman Study Of The Effect Of Electrode Potential And Solution Ph Upon The Interfacial Behavior Of 4-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde, Mark Anderson, Dennis Evans

Mark R. Anderson

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra were obtained at a silver electrode in aqueous solutions at potentials from -0.2 to -0.6 V vs SCE and pH 1-7. The forms of 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde that are adsorbed parallel those present in solution. In particular, the fraction of adsorbed species that is protonated at -0.2 V varies with pH in a manner almost identical with the fraction that is protonated in bulk solution. The protonated compound exists almost completely in the hydrated form (gem-diol) in the interface just as it does in solution. At a given pH, the fraction protonated on the surface increases as …
