It was shown that the Cl and MPS surface coverage is dependent on the applied overpotential and concentration of Cl, SPS, or MPS in the solution. Detailed discussion on the mechanism of yielding CH2SO3\u2212, C3H5SO3\u2212, CuSC3H6SO3\u2212, and CuS\u2212 fragments and their assignment to the gauche or trans conformation was proposed. The mechanism of the process of incorporation and re-adsorption of MPS on\/into a copper surface under electrochemical conditions without and with chloride ions and its impact on electrochemical properties was proposed. Moreover, it was shown that the presence of chloride ions, the ratio gauche\/trans of MPS molecules, as well as the ratio chloride\/thiols demonstrate a high impact on the accelerating abilities. Comparative studies conducted under open circuit potential conditions on the nitinol and copper substrate allowed for the identification of specific reactions\/interactions of MPS, or SPS and Cl ions on the nitinol and copper surface.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27238116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,22]],"date-time":"2022-11-22T08:29:58Z","timestamp":1669105798000},"page":"8116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Studies of Bis-(Sodium-Sulfopropyl)-Disulfide and 3-Mercapto-1-Propanesulfonate on\/into the Copper Electrodeposited Layer by Time-of-Flight Secondary-Ion Mass Spectrometry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Robert","family":"Mroczka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of X-ray Optics, Department of Chemistry, Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Konstantyn\u00f3w 1J, 20-708 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agnieszka","family":"S\u0142odkowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of X-ray Optics, Department of Chemistry, Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Konstantyn\u00f3w 1J, 20-708 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agata","family":"\u0141adniak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of X-ray Optics, Department of Chemistry, Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Konstantyn\u00f3w 1J, 20-708 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1147\/rd.491.0003","article-title":"The Chemistry of Additives in Damascene Copper Plating","volume":"49","author":"Vereecken","year":"2005","journal-title":"IBM J.
