NEXAFS has been applied to acetonitrile multilayer condensation and monolayer adsorption on Pt(111). The multilayer is partly oriented and characterized by a single π ∗ CN resonance. NEXAFS confirms that acetonitrile adsorption on Pt(111) is strong. Particularly, the degeneracy of the π ∗ CN resonan...
