Abstract
Abstract The adsorption and electroreduction of 4-cyanopyridine (4CP) on a silver electrode were studied by surface-enhanced Raman (SER) spectroscopy. The SER spectra indicate that the adsorbed 4CP takes end-on orientation on a silver electrode through the nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring. The softening and the cleavage of the C-C bond between the pyridine and the nitrile during the cathodic sweep were observed and discussed.
