Abstract

The orientation of thiophenol adsorbed on silver is determined by comparing ab initio calculated and experimental sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectra measured between 9 and 20 μm using a tandem KTP/CdSe optical parametric oscillator. The molecule S−C bond is tilted 37° from the surface normal with the aromatic ring plane perpendicular to the surface.
