In possible proof that good things do indeed come in threes:

1. Lu’s long awaited paper  Water Dissociative Adsorption on α-Al₂O₃(1120) is Controlled by Surface Site Undercoordination, Density and Topology was recently accepted for publication in Journal of Physical Chemistry C. If you’ve ever wanted to understand how small amounts of water interact with α-Al₂O₃ single crystal surfaces (and you should, it’s really interesting) this paper and our previous 3 efforts on this subject make for nice reading.
2. A collaborative paper with Mohsen Sajadi, Tobias Kampfrath and Martin Wolf, on the so-called THz Kerr Effect in methanol and how it can help you assign the dielectric response, The Nature of the Dielectric Response of Methanol Revealed by the Terahertz Kerr Effect, was accepted for publication in Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
3. Yujin’s paper on using VSF spectroscopy to quantify the polarizability of the perchlorate anion at the air/water interface, Experimentally Quantifying Anion Polarizability at the Air/Water Interface, was accepted for publication in Nature Communications.

Short answer, yes. If you’re still not convinced see Yujin’s invited reference module, In-Situ Probing of Adsorbates at Electrochemical Interfaces with Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy, just accepted for publication in the Enclyclopedia of Interfacial Chemistry: Surface Science and Electrochemistry ( e-mail for preprint).

Tobias and Yujin’s paper trying to answer this question for a SAM formed of spiropyrans has been accepted for publication in Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. In it they show that if you’d like to build an electrochemical sensor using an electrode covered with a photoswitchable SAM (and, well, of course you’d like to) you need to quantitatively account for the influence of the surface potential on the composition of the photostationary states. For those who need more, the abstract:

Surfaces whose macroscopic properties can be switched by light are potentially useful in a wide variety of applications. One such promising application is electrochemical sensors that can be gated by optically switching the electrode on or off. One way to make such a switchable electrode is by depositing a self-assembled monolayer of bistable, optically switchable molecules onto an electrode surface. Quantitative application of any such sensor requires understanding how changes in interfacial field affect the composition of photostationary states, i.e. how does electrode potential aect the extent to which the electrode is on or off when irradiated, and the structure of the SAM. Here we address these questions for a SAM of a 6-nitro-substituted spiro[2H- 1-benzopyran-2,2′-indoline] covalently attached through a dithiolane linker to an Au electrode immersed in a 0.1 M solution of Tetramethylammonium hexauorophosphate in Acetonitrile using interface-specic vibrational spectroscopy. We find that in the absence of irradiation, when the SAM is dominated by the closed spiropyran form, variations in potential of 1 V have little effect on spiropyran relative stability. In contrast, under UV irradiation small changes in potential can have dramatic eects: changes in potential of 0.2 V can completely destabilize the open, merocyanine form of the SAM relative to the spiropyran and dramatically change the chromophore orientation. Quantitatively accounting for these eects is necessary to employ this, or any other optically switchable bistable chromophore, in electrochemical applications.
