In situ infrared spectroelectrochemical studies of cyanide adsorbed on platinum and palladium

Abstract

In situ FTIR difference spectra of adsorbed cyanide on polished platinum and palladium electrodes in perchlorate media are presented. A linear CN-ads moiety is observed on Pt, while on Pd four surface cyanide species are seen: linear and bridge-bound CN-ads, as well as two surface Pd-CN films. © 1989.
