Abstract

Abstract Vibrational spectra of alkyl benzoates dissociatively adsorbed on the alumina surfaces have been measured by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy. The analyses of the spectra indicate that ethyl and tert-butyl benzoates are adsorbed as ethoxide or benzoate ions, respectively, by the acid-catalyzed reaction on alumina surfaces.
