The variation of electrode nature and surface structure (the use of stepped single crystal faces with controlled width of (1 1 1) terraces and monoatomic steps of (1 0 0) or (1 1 0) orientation) allows to determine peculiarities of co-adsorption of acetonitrile molecules, hydrogen adatoms and (bi)sulfate anions. It has been shown that first of all acetonitrile blocks adsorption sites at the steps. Anion adsorption at terraces of stepped platinum surfaces in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution with additions of acetonitrile depends on terrace width and the step orientation. This demonstrates the important role of structural factors in competitive adsorption processes. The decrease in adsorption of hydrogen and anions on narrow terraces is substantially due to the influence of acetonitrile molecules placed at the steps or nearby sites. At E < 1.0 V, electrochemical conversion of acetonitrile has not been detected at single crystal Pt surfaces. However, acetonitrile oxidation might proceed on polycrystalline platinum followed by product desorption. On Au(1 1 1) surface acetonitrile adsorption is considerably weaker than that on platinum electrodes.
