The adsorption of bisulfate and sulfate anions from 0.05M H[sub 2]SO[sub 4] solution on Pt(100) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Subtractively normalized interfacial FTIR spectra (SNIFTIRS) indicated only weak adsorption of bisulfate at potentials below 0.4 V (vs. PdH), in contrast to the strong adsorption seen on the (111) surface by the same technique. At potentials above 0.6 V the SNIFTIRS spectra were due entirely to diffuse layer species. At potentials between 0.4 and 0.6 V, changes in the IR bands indicated either a rearrangement (and possibly deprotonation) of adsorbed bisulfate or weak adsorption of sulfate ion.
