The reorientation of benzonitrile on Platinum electrode probed by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy

The adsorption and reorientation behavior of benzonitrile on an electrochemical roughened Pt electrode were studied by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) over a wide potential range. The results revealed that benzonitrile was adsorbed on the surface in a vertical orientation through the nitr...

Description
Summary:The adsorption and reorientation behavior of benzonitrile on an electrochemical roughened Pt electrode were studied by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) over a wide potential range. The results revealed that benzonitrile was adsorbed on the surface in a vertical orientation through the nitrogen atom of CN group in the relative positive potential region (>−0.6 V), while the benzonitrile molecule changed its orientation with the negative movement of potential (
