The molecular orientation of a monolayer stearic acid, adsorbedon a copper surface in air, was studied by means of X-rayabsorption spectroscopy above the carbon and oxygen K edges.Carbon-K-edge X-ray absorption measurements were used to quantifythe molecular tilt of the alkyl chain from the surface normal,which was found to be 49° and 39° respectively before andafter rubbing.Tribochemical bonding chemistry was observed using oxygen-K-edgeX-ray absorption measurements. Chemisorbed stearic acid was foundto adsorb initially in both monodentate and bidentate sites. Themonodentate chemisorbed stearic acid was thentransformed to a bidentate surface configuration aftertribochemical reaction. Furthermore, spectra from thechemisorbed stearic acid monolayer were similar to the spectrumfrom a bulk stearic acid powder standard, and the data from thetribochemically modified stearic acid monolayer surface appearedto be identical to that from a bulk cupric stearate.
