Measurement of interfacial electronic spectra is a powerful tool for characterizing the properties of ions in physical, biological, environmental, and industrial systems. Here, we describe measurement of the complete charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) spectrum of thiocyanate at the air/water interface using our recently developed femtosecond broadband deep ultraviolet electronic sum frequency generation technique. We find that the lower energy CTTS band characterized in bulk thiocyanate spectra is not observed in the | χ(2)|2-power spectrum of the air/water interface, likely reflecting the different solvation environments, altering of the charge distribution of the ion, and possible ion-ion effects, and that sodium and potassium salts yield identical spectra. Additional experiments and comparison with theoretical calculations are necessary to extract the interesting chemical details responsible for these salient spectral differences.
