electrode and its effect on the deposition of Cu have been examined using in situ scanning
tunneling microscopy (STM). MPS admolecules were irreversibly adsorbed in a largely
disordered adlayer on bare Pt (111) in, irrespective of the presence of chloride, the
concentration of MPS, and the applied potential. In comparison, the MPS admolecules
readily formed a highly ordered molecular structure identified as on Pt (111) precoated with …
