[Competitive adsorption studies of pyridine and acetonitrile on platinum electrodes in non-aqueous system by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy].

In the non-aqueous acetonitrile solution, recurring to the confocal Raman system, we studied the intensively chemical adsorption of pyridine(Py) on the surface of platinum electrode utilizing surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). With the change in the potential, the quantity and adsorptive orientation of the adsorbate also change, interacting on the surrounding molecules. In the present paper, the adsorption of Py on the surface of platinum electrode was not only clearly observed, but also the dissociation of acetonitrile was discovered simultaneously.
