Abstract
The paper describes the history of spectral studies of surface processes at St. Petersburg University from the first pre-war experiments of Terenin and Kasparov to the present day. The development of experimental technique and advances in the studies of surface acid and basic sites, functional groups, and adsorption complexes are considered. Spectroscopy in a wide temperature range enables us to study such phenomena as lateral interactions between adsorbed molecules and linkage isomerism, to obtain information about the mechanism of dark and photostimulated reactions. Attention is paid to the application of computer modeling and quantum chemistry to study processes on the surface.
