COORDINATION POLYMERIZATION OF IMIDAZOLE ON THE SURFACE OF METALLIC SILVER STUDIED BY THE USE OF SERS IR AND XPS

Imidazole (IMH hereafter) is of considerable interest as a ligand in that its presence in many biological systems provides a potential binding site for metal ions. But no report are known concerning the direct reaction on imidazole with metallic silver. The development of SERS and R-A IR enables the determination of
