Five analogues of a novel group of boron derivatives of aminophosphonic acidsN-benzylamino-(3-boronphenyl)-S-methylphosphonic acid (m-PhS), N-benzylamino-(4-boronphenyl)-S-methylphosphonic acid (p-PhS), N-benzylamino-(2-boronphenyl)-R-methylphosphonic acid (o-PhR), N-benzylamino-(3-boronphenyl)-R-methylphosphonic acid (m-PhR), and N-benzylamino-(4-boronphenyl)-R-methylphosphonic acid (p-PhR)were studied using Fourier transform infrared (FT IR), Fourier transform Raman (FT RS), and surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) spectroscopies. Analysis of obtained FT IR and FT RS spectra show that all investigated compounds in the solid state exist as dimeric species formed by an H-bonding interaction between −B­(OH)2 moieties of each monomer. In addition, comparison of the wavenumbers, intensities, and broadness of bands from the FT Raman and SERS spectra allowed information to be obtained regarding the adsorption geometry of the investigated compounds immobilized onto an electrochemically roughened silver substrate.
