Abstract
The Raman spectra of benzene adsorbed on small nickel and platinum particles have been measured. The spectra are strongly enhanced, compared with those wavelengths, where no enhancement has been observed. The spectra of benzene adsorbed on platinum and nickel particles are rather similar. The most intensive vibrational band is the totally symmetric breathing mode, which dominates the spectrum. Besides the Raman active vibrations, some other weak vibrational modes are observed, which may be assigned to normally infrared and inactive vibrational transitions. The enhanced Raman effect seems to be dependent on the particle size and shape. Therefore it is important to investigate the behaviour of small metallic particles. First results of pyridine bonded to Ag 2 and Ag 3 are reported.
