Abstract

The electrosorption of aniline on a polycrystalline gold electrode from acidic and neutral electrolyte solutions has been studied using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy and tensametry. At all concentrations of aniline and in both acidic and neutral solutions, a perpendicular or edge-on adsorption with small contributions from molecules adsorbed flat on the surface was observed. In neutral solution, a gold-nitrogen vibrational mode indicative of an interaction between the electrode surface and the lone electron pair of the nitrogen atom was identified.
