L. Huang et al., The adsorption of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD) on copper surface and its binding behavior, CHIN SCI B, 46(5), 2001, pp. 387-390
The interaction mechanism of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD) on cop
per surface was studied by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), infrar
ed (IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The SERS spe
ctra were obtained. We found that DMTD bound with the copper via its two-ex
cocyclic mercapto groups. The monosulphide salt was formed. At the same tim
e, DMTD coordinated with the Cu+ ion through the excocyclic mercapto groups
and polymerized via the Cu+ ion into a one-dimensional polymer chain on th
e copper surface.
