<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JMGallego, post: 2666363, member: 35622&quot;]Hi [USER=15199]@desertgem[/USER],</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, several scientific articles describing the bonding and structure of the CuBTA. One of this article published back in 1989 entitled &quot;COORDINATION POLYMERIZATION OF BENZOTRIAZOLE ON THE SURFACE OF METALLIC COPPER&quot;.&nbsp; In this article, the authors explain the chemistry and explain the film composition.&nbsp; They conclude: &quot;We have shown that BTAH can react with copper metal other than copper cations or oxides in extremely mild conditions. The reaction product is mainly bis ( benzotriazolato ) copper ( II ), which covers the surface in the shape of a polymeric material.&quot;&nbsp; They used infrared (middle) and X- ray photoelectron spectroscopies and elemental analysis.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another interesting one is the 2009 article &quot;A review of the effects of benzotriazole on the corrosion of copper and copper alloys in clean and polluted environments&quot;. In it, it has a section called &quot;Benzotriazole: its chemistry and mode of action&quot; that explains in detail the how the bond is created. Another section is the &quot;Inhibiting effects of benzotriazole, its derivatives, and blends&quot;. Very interesting article.</p><p><br /></p><p>And there are plenty of articles on analyzing BTA film on the surface of copper. Just to mention a couple, one is the 1970 &quot;Reflection infra-red studies of films formed by benzotriazole on Cu&quot;, the 1990 &quot;The use of near-infrared Fourier Transform techniques in the study of surface enhanced Raman spectra&quot; and the 1985 &quot;A photoemission study of the adsorption of benzotriazole on copper&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just a few articles, there are many more and recent ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
