The interactions of aniline with soil at an industrial spill site were investigated. Sorption of aniline to the soil was observed to occur through a two-step mechanism. The first step was an ion exchange process with the protonated amine serving as an organic cation. This step was influenced by solution pH and ionic composition. The second step was covalent bonding most likely with quinone moie...

Infrared photodissociation spectra of aniline+–M (M = thiophene, furan and phenol) are measured in the 2700–3700 cm–1 region and analyzed by density functional theory calculations. Only a structure with a π-type hydrogen bond is found for aniline+–thiophene. Two structural isomers are identified for aniline+–furan and aniline+–phenol, which have either a π-type or a σ-type hydrogen bond, where ...

Aniline-methanol mixed clusters are ionized by single photon vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 118 nm) radiation with which absorption to an excited intermediate S(1) state is not required. Aniline ion (An(+)), a series of (An)(n)(+)-(CH(3)OH)(m) (n = 1, 2) cluster ions, and their hydrogenated cluster ions, (An)(n)(+)-(CH(3)OH)(m)H (n = 1, 2) are observed by mass spectrometry. Infrared (IR) absorption s...

Fluorescence yield near-edge spectroscopy (FYNES) above the carbon K edge and temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) have been used as the methods for characterizing the reactivity and structure of adsorbed aniline and aniline derived species on the Ni(100) and Ni(111) surfaces over an extended range of temperatures and hydrogen pressures. The Ni(100) surface shows appreciably high...
