We report the potential-dependent interactions of trimesic acid with Cu surfaces in EtOH. CV experiments and electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy show the presence of an adsorbed trimesic acid layer on Cu at potentials lower than 0Â V vs Cu. The BTC coverage increases as the potential increases, reaching a maximum at 0Â V. Based on molecular dynamics simulations, we report adsorption geometries and possible structures of the organic adlayer. We find that, depending on the crystal facet, trimesic acid adsorbs either flat or with one or two of the carboxyl groups facing the metal surface. At higher coverages, a multi-layer forms that is composed mostly of flat-lying trimesic acid molecules. Increasing the potential beyond 0Â V activates the Cu-adsorbate interface in such a way that under oxidation of Cu to Cu2Â +, a 3-D metal-organic framework forms directly on the electrode surface.
