The surface geometry of o-diiodobenzene (ODIB) adsorbed on silver colloid surfaces has been studied. This molecule is standing up on 1 day old colloid surfaces, while it is lying down or standing up on 1 month old colloid surfaces. The surface geometry of ODIB is affected by the atomic scale surface roughness of colloid used. The SERS intensity of ODIB for lying down geometry is much more strong than that for standing up. This may be mainly due to that the distance from surface to the center of the molecule in lying down geometry is shorter than that in standing up.
