Abstract:
The potential‐induced adsorption change of 2‐amino‐4,5‐imidazoledicarbonitrile (AIDCN) on Ag electrode surfaces has been examined by surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in an applied potential range between −1.0 and 0.2 V. Upon adsorption, AIDCN has a substantial interaction with the Ag metal surfaces via its two nitrile groups. The CN stretching peaks at ∼2200 cm −1 appeared to be more intensified and redshifted at a negative potential. The deconvolution peak analysis of the CN bands at various voltages suggests that there should be a change in binding modes of AIDCN on Ag surfaces. This potential‐dependent orientation change appeared to be reversible. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation of AIDCN on Ag cluster atoms is used to explain its potential‐dependent adsorption. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
