✦ Synopsis


SERS from pyridine on an

Ag clccrrode is almost complcrely quenched by underpotential deposition of Tl 10 a surface covemgc of J 3%. Removal of Tl by anodic stripping does not restore the original SERS intensity. These results susest that only a small fraction of adsorbed pyridine molecules is SERS active, and T1 is specifically deposited on such a SERS active site, x%bich then undergoes irreversible destruction. Pb appears to be non-sped%ally deposited on the Xg surface, but exhibits a similar irreversible quenching of SERS.
