Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been used as a complementary in situ technique for electrochemical measurements in order to investigate five structurally related N‐heterocyclic molecules on copper. Their different abilities to act as corrosion inhibitors are discussed in view of structural information obtained from SERS. It is concluded that the molecules investigated do not dissociate upon adsorption and that different functional groups result in different orientation of the adsorbed molecules on copper.
