Abstract

Changes in IR spectra during thermal treatment of chemisorption products of glycine and valine vapours on dehydrated silica surfaces have been studied. Peptide products were formed from these chemisorbed species. A scheme of peptide chain growth on the silica surface is suggested based on the idea of ester type "activated intermediates".
