1-Bromonaphthalene, by near-ambient pressure XPS

Near ambient pressure-x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) is a less traditional form of XPS that allows samples to be analyzed at relatively high pressures, i.e., at greater than 5000 Pa. With NAP-XPS, liquids, biological samples, porous materials, and/or polymeric materials that outgas significantly can be studied. In this submission, we show survey, C 1s, Br 3p, and Br 3d NAP-XPS spectra of 1-bromonaphthalene. Small O 1s and N 1s signals from background gas (N2 and air) are also observed.
