High resolution electron energy loss (HR-EELS) spectroscopy is used to study the reaction of propanoic acid (CH3-CH2-COOH) with the clean and the hydroxylated Si(001) surface. The results are compared to photoemission data. For the adsorption on the clean Si(001)-2x1 surface the results point to the simultaneous presence of different adsorption geometries, monodentate and bidentate. To circumvent the inhomogeneity caused by multiple adsorption geometries, in a second set of experiments the silicon surface was first modified by the adsorption of water leading to a grafting layer of Si-H and Si-O-H. During the reaction of the hydroxylated surface with propionic acid the strongly diminished O-H stretching mode together with the appearance of the C-H mode clearly shows a reaction of the acid with the water layer. Further information is gained by replacing the H2O grafting layer by a D2O layer to distinguish hydrogen (deuterium) related vibrational excitations of the grafting layers from the ones coming from the carboxylic acid. The vibrational data are consistent with the selective adsorption of the propionic acid with the Si-O-H groups via an esterification reaction in a monodentate geometry.
