The amination of a diamond surface was investigated by treatment of chlorinated diamond in
an ammonia environment at various temperatures. The chlorinated diamond was prepared
by irradiating hydrogenated diamond with ultraviolet (UV) light in the presence of elemental
chlorine. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy of the
chlorinated diamond showed a strong peak corresponding to the C–Cl stretching mode,
which has not been reported in previous studies on chlorinated diamonds. The types of …
