FTIR spectroscopy was done on a VERTEX 80v FTIR spectrometer (Bruker) from 4000 to 400 cm -1 . A room temperature DLaTGS detector was employed. Samples were measured on a monolayer / grazing angle specular reflectance accessory (Specac) at an incidence angle of 70°. For background scans, a bare, polished nickel surface was used. Both sample and background scans (250 scans each) were acquired with a scanner velocity of 2.5 kHz and a resolution of 4 cm -1 .
