Glancing-angle Raman spectroscopic probe for reaction kinetics at water surfaces
Literature Information
Sumi N. Wren, D. J. Donaldson
We report glancing-angle Raman spectra acquired at the surface of aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide solutions and demonstrate that this technique can be used to measure the surface concentration of solutes. The presence of some solute molecules at the surface suppresses the intensity of the OH-stretching band of water there. We used this phenomenon to study the interfacial reaction of gas-phase ozone with aqueous NaX solutions (X = Br, I) by monitoring the decrease in intensity of the OH-stretching band of water over time. UV-VIS analysis of the product solutions indicates that X3−, formed from X2 evolved in the ozonation reaction, is the species most likely responsible for the decrease in OH-stretching intensity at the surface. The dependence of the rate of OH-Raman signal loss at the water surface on the bulk halide concentration is well described by a Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic model. The Langmuir–Hinshelwood parameters indicated that iodide has a ∼50 times greater propensity for the surface compared to bromide.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
