Esters Dissociatively Adsorb on Alumina.

Abstract

Inelastic electron tunneling spectra for esters of the form RCOOR' show that these compounds dissociate on alumina and only the RCOO ion bonds to the surface. For phenethyl benzoate, ethyl-d5 benozate, benzyl-d7 benzoate, the benzoate ion is symmetrically adsorbed. For ethyl-d5 acetate, the spectrum is distinguishable from the spectrum of a symmetrically bonded acetate ion. (Author)
