a–c Optical microscopy images and d–f X-ray intensity maps of the deposits on Hg electrodes formed by 1 h deposition at −0.60 V in 0.01 M NaX + 0.25 mM PbX2 with X being a, d Br, b, e Cl, and c, f F, respectively. The GID data were measured at incidence angles of 0.122° and transformed into the reciprocal space coordinates qz and q//. All the experiments were recorded after 1 h deposition at −0.60 V. The miller indexes of the diffraction peaks for the identified compounds d Pb(OH)Br, e Pb(OH)Cl, and f PbF2 are given in the maps.
