Abstract
Finally, tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) is added to DMSO. Under potential control, positive of the potential of zero charge (PZC), STM reveals the DMSO solvent structure together with the perchlorate anion. The tetrabutylammoniurn cation can not be seen due to the presence of water in the DMSO solution. With appropriate choice of electrolyte, it may now be possible, by means of in situ STM, to examine the interplay of solvent, anion, and cation at the solid/liquid interface.
