P. Persson et al., N 1s x-ray absorption study of the bonding interaction of bi-isonicotinic acid adsorbed on rutile TiO2(110), J CHEM PHYS, 112(9), 2000, pp. 3945-3948
N 1s x-ray absorption spectra of bi-isonicotinic acid (2,2'-bipyridine-4,4(
')-dicarboxylic acid) on rutile TiO2(110) have been studied experimentally
and quantum chemically. Differences between multilayer and monolayer spectr
a are explained by the adsorbate bonding to the substrate. A connection to
the electronic coupling in dye-sensitized electrochemical devices is made.
