Bh. Loo, ENHANCED RAMAN-SCATTERING FROM HEXACYANOFERRATE(II) AND HEXACYANOFERRATE(III) IONS ADSORBED ON SILVER ELECTRODE SURFACES, Chemical physics letters, 213(5-6), 1993, pp. 479-484
Enhanced Raman scattering has been observed from the hexacyanoferrate
(II) and (III) ions adsorbed on Ag electrode surfaces. In the former c
ase, five vibrational modes in the low-frequency range (214, 373, 423,
494 and 560 cm-1) and four in the nitrile-stretching region (2026, 20
67, 2082 and 2122 cm-1) have been observed. The results indicate that
the hexacyanoferrate (II) ions are coordinated with the metal via CN b
ridges which lower the site symmetry of the adsorbed state, inducing S
ERS vibrational modes which are Raman forbidden in the bulk phase.
