Hydrogen bonding and protonation in the interaction of garbonyl complexes of transition metals with HCl and perfluorotertiary butanol

Comparison of two means of attachment of an organometallic acid on gold surfaces by combining X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and IR reflection spectroscopy

“…A shift to higher frequencies is observed compared to the IR spectrum of the pure compound (the E mode vibration of the pure compound is observed at 1940 cm 21 ). We believe that this shift is due to hydrogen bonds 12 occurring in the pure compound which lower the frequencies. On the gold surface, such interactions are prevented.…”
