Uptake and surface reaction of methanol by sulfuric acid solutions investigated by vibrational sum frequency generation and Raman spectroscopies.

چکیده
The uptake of methanol at the air-liquid interface of 0-96.5 wt % sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solutions has been observed directly using vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy. As the concentration of H2SO4 increases, the VSFG spectra reveal a surface reaction between methanol and H2SO4 to form methyl hydrogen sulfate. The surface is saturated with the methyl species after 15 min. The uptake of methyl species into the solutions by Raman spectroscopy was also observed and occurred on a much longer time scale. This suggests that uptake of methanol by sulfuric acid solutions is diffusion-limited.

The organization of 1-butanol and 1-hexanol at the air-liquid interface of aqueous, aqueous ammonium bisulfate, and sulfuric acid solutions was investigated using vibrational broad bandwidth sum frequency generation spectroscopy. There is spectroscopic evidence supporting the formation of centrosymmetric structures at the surface of pure butanol and pure hexanol. At aqueous, ammonium bisulfate,...

Interfacial water structures of aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanesulfonic acid (MSA) were studied by Raman, infrared, and conventional and phase-sensitive vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopies. Through isotopic dilution, we probed bulk water hydrogen bonding strength using the vibrational frequency of dilute OD in H(2)O. As indicated by the frequency shift of th...

Investigations of the air-liquid interface of aqueous salt solutions containing ammonium (NH(4)(+)) and sulfate (SO(4)(2-)) ions were carried out using molecular dynamics simulations and vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy. The molecular dynamics simulations show that the predominant effect of SO(4)(2-) ions, which are strongly repelled from the surface, is to increase the thickne...

Formaldehyde in small quantities is commonly analyzed by spectrophotometric methods. One of the most-commonly used spectrophotometric techniques for this purpose is based on the reaction with chromotropic acid. Because of its simplicity, sensitivity, selectivity and its low cost, it is still widely used. Investigations for replacing the concentrated sulfuric acid with other acids or using more ...
