Raman spectroscopic evidence is given for the formation of polypyrrole on some silver electrode surfaces. Oxidation of pyrrole and its subsequent polymerisation is merely promoted by the electrode surface illuminated by daylight during oxidation-reduction cycle. For the silver electrode roughened un

β¦ Synopsis
Thiourea (TU) adsorbed at Ag electrodes both in neutral and acidic solutions has been studied using surface enhanced Raman (SER) spectroscopy and differential capacitance measurements. The coadsorption of TU with anions may be through the NH, group in neutral solutions, and the NH: group in acidic solutions respectively. Replacement of ClO; ions coadsorbed with TU by Cl-ions can only take place at more negative potentials as TU changes orientation at the surface. The different orientations of adsorbed TU have substantial effects on the H, evolution at Ag electrodes. In neutral solutions the H, evolution is catalysed by the TU adsorbed parallelly to the surface, however, in acid media the H, evolution is inhibited considerably by the TU adsorbed perpendicularly.

## Abstract Surfaceβenhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was applied to the study of silver electrodes in the presence of 2βmercaptopyrimidine (2MP) over a wide electrode potential range from β0.3 to β1.8 V (__vs.__ SCE). The spectra reveal that in neutral solution 2MP was adsorbed perpendicularly on
