Laser Raman Spectra of Sorbed Species Physical Adsorption on Silica Gel

Abstract

THE principal method of studying the bonding characteristics of adsorbed species is to use infrared vibrational spectroscopy. Although the method has been applied to an extensive range of adsorbates and substrates, the technique suffers from the problem that, because of substrate adsorption, only high frequency modes of vibration of the adsorbate can be detected. The Raman effect would seem to offer an alternative method of study.
