An external reflection (ER) spectrometric device was developed to directly measure adsorbates at the supercritical carbon dioxide (SC–CO2)–water interface. The aggregation of diprotonated species of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphinetetrasulfonic acid (H4tpps2–) at the positively charged SC–CO2–water interface, prepared by adsorption by the cetyltrimethylammonium ion (CTA+), was studied using this device. Orientations of the H4tpps2–monomers and J-aggregates at the SC–CO2–water interface were assessed using s- and p-polarized external reflection (ER) spectra. It appeared that the porphyrin plane of the H4tpps2–monomer was nearly parallel to the SC–CO2–water interface, and that the long axis of the rod-like H4tpps2–J-aggregate was also nearly parallel to the interface. Dependence of the ER spectra on CTA+concentration and CO2pressure were investigated, and the interfacial CTA+concentration was found to cause changes in the interfacial H4tpps2–species present. Increasing the CO2pressure changed the interfacial species from the H4tpps2–monomer to the H4tpps2–J-aggregate because the interfacial CTA+concentration increased as the pressure increased. This suggests that the interfacial chemical species can be changed by controlling the pressure and temperature of the SC–CO2. This is the first report of direct measurements of the chemical species at the SC–CO2–water interface, as far as we know.
