Energy and angular resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of iron and titanium metals oxidized to produce hydroxylated oxide surfaces showed the concentration of hydroxyl to be 2.6/nm/sup 2/ for iron and 4.3/nm/sup 2/ for titanium. Exchange of the hydroxyl hydrogens with potassium ions as a function of pH was used to determine the acid strength of these surface hydroxyls. The iron and titanium surfaces, behaving as acids, were found to have pK values of 11.5 and 10.0, respectively. The more acidic nature of titanium is consistent with the higher charge/radius ratio of Ti/sup 4 +/ compared to Fe/sup 3 +/ in the respective metal oxides. The strongest chemical interaction between organic coatings and metal surfaces is considered to be via hydrogen bonding of polar groups in the coating with surface hydroxyls. On this basis, the acid strengths of the iron and titanium surfaces measured in this study and the base strength from reported phosphate exchange on iron were used to predict the relative stabilities of organic coatings containing different functional groups.
