Abstract
We have studied the effect of deuteration on the adsorption of benzoic acid on a copper (110) surface with RAIRS and HREELS. The resulting b enzoate species has been characterized by the assignment of the spectr a to modes of A1 symmetry under the C2v point group, which shows the c arboxylate group and aromatic ring are perpendicular to the surface. C omparison to the non-deuterated species shows some unexpectedly large intensity changes and frequency shifts for several aromatic ring breat hing modes due to coupling with modes of the carboxylate group.
