Resultsand Discussion 1. Plain NaC1Substrate Figure 2 is the infrared (IR) spectrumof the 1 minutedeposit on a plain NaC1 substrate. Analysis of this spectrumsuggeststhat the depositmay be a sodium triphosphate compoundwith molecular formula NasP3010..In additionto the triphosphate,a small quantity of an organic compound(or compounds)having a P-O-Ar group may be present. Table 1 lists and comparesmany of the depositIR peakswith the known IR peaksof the triphosphate(6). Table 1 also lists the remainingIR peakswith the correspondinggroup absorptions. Although the 569 cm"1depositpeakcould not be adequatelyassigned,the presenceof a C1compoundis a possibility sincePC12absorbsin the 590 to 420 cmI range.

The IR spectrumof the 10 minute deposit on the plain NaC1substrateis shown in Figure 5. Nearly all the IR peaksfrom the spectrumof the 5 minute deposit are presentin the spectrumof the 10 minute deposit. The only major difference in thesepeaksis that the 10 minute depositespectrumexhibits much strongerabsorptions(possibly due to the growth of the depositfilm). The major differencesbetweenthe 10 and 5 minute depositsare the appearanceof the broad peak at about2880 cm-1,andthe sharppeakat 771 cm1. The broad peak at 2880 cm P-O-Ar the
