We have investigated adsorption of acetic acid on Si(100)-2×1 at room temperature using high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy and near edge x-ray adsorption fine structure (NEXAFS) measurements in the partial electron yield mode. At room temperature, an acetic-acid molecule is found to chemisorb on Si(100)-2×1 surface through the formation of the O[Single Bond]H dissociation structure. NEXAFS was conducted to characterize the adsorption geometry of acetic acid on Si(100). The pi* orbital of the C[Double Bond]O bond shows a good angle dependence in carbon K-edge NEXAFS spectra, and we estimate the adsorption angle between chemisorbed acetic acid of C[Double Bond]O bond and the Si(100) surface normal as ~41°±2° using an analytical solution of NEXAFS intensity.
