Abstract

Detailed knowledge of the interaction of molecules with solid surfaces is fundamental to our understanding of many industrially important processes including corrosion, chemical vapour deposition and the vast field of heterogeneous catalysis. During the last ten years the technique of Reflection Absorption Infrared Spectroscopy (RAIRS) has played an ever increasing role in the identification and characterisation of adsorbates and reactive intermediates, and in the study of surface reactions in general. One advantage of the RAIRS technique compared with most other surface science techniques is that the data are relatively easily interpreted in terms of the chemical species present and there is a wealth of reference data in the non surface science literature with which spectra can be compared.
