Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy of phenol and hydroquinone chemisorbed on alumina
Abstract
Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy has been used to probe the irreversible chemisorption of C_6H_5OH and 1,4-C_6H_4(OH)_2 on a thin amorphous film of Al_2O_3. This spectroscopy yields a representation of the vibronic excitations of the chemical bonds in the adspecies, i.e., the tunneling spectra are analogous to ir spectra. The C_6H_5OH is found to adsorb predominately as C_6H_5O^− with a small amount of adsorption as C_6H_5OH. The 1,4-C_6H_4(OH)_2 is found to adsorb predominately as C_6H_4(OH)O^− and perhaps to a smaller extent as C_6H_4O^(2-)_2. Extensive hydrogen bonding is observed among adsorbates and between adsorbates and the hydroxylated alumina surface.
