Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy (VSFS) has been used to systematically study the preferential adsorption of a series of monovalent ions to charged and uncharged fatty acid monolayers. Ion enrichment is mainly determined indirectly by targeting surface water vibrational modes. In selected cases however, the ion presence is also directly determined by targeting the fatty acid carboxylate headgroups. A major effort is made to understand the effect of co-ions in the molecular properties of these biophysically relevant interfaces.
