Adsorption Geometry of 4-Cyanopyridine on Ag Electrode by SERS

The adsorption of 4-cyanopyridine (PyCN) on Ag electrode has been studied by surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The Raman band of the CN group is at 2240 or 2100 cm^?1; it appears in various ranges of potential. When a series of potentials was applied stepwise to the electrode, the growing and vanishing of both bands was monitored by an optical multichannel analyzer with a time resolution 1 s or less. Some information about the kinetics of the adsorption and desorption of CN group and about the adsorption geometry of PyCN on the electrode was obtained.

硫脲及其衍生物的SERS和量子化学研究

Adsorption of thiourea (TU) and ethylthiourea(ETU) on roughened silver electrode was investigated using in- situ surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS). Using quantum chemistry and HSAB theories, the influences of electrode potential and the different substituent groups on SERS were discussed. TU is chemisorbed perpendicularly by Ag-S bond on silver at E=-0.3 V and adsorption of TU turns into a parallel orientation at E=-0.9 V. ETU is always chemisorbed at an angle from Ag. The adsorption of ETU is through C=C and C=O groups at E=-0.3 V, and mainly through C=C at E=-0.9V.

Adsorption of 4-aminopyridine on Co and Ag electrodes probed by SERS

The adsorption of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) on Co and Ag electrodes in acid or alkaline solutions of KCl and KI electrolyte salts were monitored by the Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) technique. The SERS intensity for the Ag electrode was in 2 orders of magnitude higher than for the Co electrode, due to the enhancement of the Raman cross-section on Ag by the surface-plasmon excitation. In acidic chloride medium (pH 4), the SERS results for Ag electrodes indicate that the protonated form of 4-AP (4-APH⁺) adsorbs in the potential range of −0.1 to −0.6 V (Ag|AgCl|KCl sat) through hydrogen-bonding between 4-APH⁺ and Cl⁻ adsorbed on the electrode surface; at more negative potentials the neutral form 4-AP is the predominant adsorbed species. For Co electrode in the same medium, only bands due to neutral 4-AP were observed in the spectra at −0.8 and −0.9 V. For more negative potentials bands assigned to both 4-AP and 4-AP surface complex are observed, with the lasts being enhanced, as the potentials are turned more negative. In alkaline chloride medium (pH 13), for less negative potentials the bands assigned to free 4-AP were observed in the spectra of both Ag and Co surfaces. For more negative potentials, only bands assigned to the 4-AP surface complex were observed. For 0.1 mol L⁻¹ KI acidic or alkaline solutions, bands assigned to 4-AP and 4-APH⁺ were observed in a wider potential range than in chloride solutions. An adsorption scheme of 4-AP on Ag and Co is proposed for acidic and alkaline solutions.

Reversible adsorption change of 2‐amino‐4,5‐imidazoledicarbonitrile on Ag electrode surfaces by potential‐dependent surface‐enhanced Raman scattering

The potential‐induced adsorption change of 2‐amino‐4,5‐imidazoledicarbonitrile (AIDCN) on Ag electrode surfaces has been examined by surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in an applied potential range between ?1.0 and 0.2 V. Upon adsorption, AIDCN has a substantial interaction with the Ag metal surfaces via its two nitrile groups. The CN stretching peaks at ～2200 cm^?1 appeared to be more intensified and redshifted at a negative potential. The deconvolution peak analysis of the CN bands at various voltages suggests that there should be a change in binding modes of AIDCN on Ag surfaces. This potential‐dependent orientation change appeared to be reversible. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation of AIDCN on Ag cluster atoms is used to explain its potential‐dependent adsorption. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Effect of volatile organic chemicals on surface-enhanced Raman scattering of 4-aminobenzenethiol on Ag: comparison with the potential dependence

4-Aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) is an unusual molecule in the sense that several distinct peaks whose counterparts are rarely found in the normal Raman spectrum are observed in its surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra. Their origin has been argued over recently as due to either a metal-to-adsorbate charge transfer or the formation of a photoreaction product such as dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB). In an electrochemical SERS measurement, the intensities of the new peaks depended strongly not only on the excitation wavelength but also on the electrode potential. Interestingly, we observed a similar spectral variation even under ambient conditions by exposure of 4-ABT on Ag to volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) such as acetone and ammonia. Since acetone and ammonia barely react directly with 4-ABT, the effect of VOCs must be indirect, presumably associated with the movement of electrons between VOCs and the Ag substrate causing either an increase or a decrease in the surface potential of Ag. Based on the potential-dependent SERS data, the effect of acetone therefore appeared to correspond to an application of +0.15 V to the Ag substrate vs. a saturated Ag/AgCl electrode, while the effect of ammonia corresponded to the application of -0.45 V to Ag. We admit that much the same VOC effect could be observable if a photoproduct was formed immediately upon irradiation and the product was also subjected to a chemical enhancement mechanism. The Gaussian response of the peak intensities of the b(2)-type bands to applied potential, as well as to VOCs, dictated that the new peaks appearing in the SERS of 4-ABT have nothing to do with any electrochemical reaction. In addition, a separate preliminary work suggested that the b(2)-type bands are not at least due to a photoreaction product such as DMAB.

金与银电极表面甘氨酸分子吸附作用的SERS光谱研究

本文利用表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)技术研究了甘氨酸在金与银基底表面的吸附作用特征。研究表明甘氨酸分子以COO-的不对称形式吸附于金电极表面,且NH2也是其可能的吸附位点;而在银电极表面,则主要是通过COO-的对称形式而吸附。在此基础上,进一步研究了电极电位与溶液酸碱性对吸附于粗糙化银电极表面甘氨酸分子吸附作用的影响。研究结果表明,甘氨酸分子中去质子化羧基的吸附作用受电位影响较小,而电位对-NH3+吸附作用的影响程度较大。另一方面,溶液pH值对银电极表面的甘氨酸分子吸附行为的影响也较为显著。随着溶液酸性减小羧基倾向于相对于电极表面平行吸附。这是由于随着溶液碱性增大氨基质子化程度的减小,有利于氨基在银电极表面吸附。这将改变分子的吸附构型使其更接近于电极表面。这些变化主要出现在pH值大于10的条件下。     

SERS study of the interaction of thiourea with a copper electrode in sulphuric acid solution

The electrochemical interaction of thiourea with a copper electrode in sulphuric acid solution was investigated using Fourier transform Raman and in situ surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. SERS spectra of thiourea at a copper electrode were obtained in solutions containing greater than 5 ppm thiourea; the spectra obtained were consistent with adsorption of the molecule on the copper electrode via the sulphur atom. The SERS spectra provide evidence of complex formation involving thiourea and sulphate species at the electrode surface.

The investigation of a series of n-hydroxybenzoic acids (n=p, m, o) on a new surface enhanced Raman scattering active substrate

Ag nanoparticles, organized on indium tin oxide (ITO) surface, can act as a new surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrate as well as a dry electrode. Compared with the traditional SERS-active substrate, its notable advantage is that the microcosmic changes of the film can be reflected by the SERS spectrum during the investigation of the film's electrical and other macroscopic characteristics. To illuminate the above-mentioned property of this new substrate, a series of n-hydroxybenzoic acids (n-HBA; n=p, m and o) was tested as probe molecules by SERS technique. These SERS spectra indicate that the significant changes of frequencies as well as intensities, respectively, arise from the changes of the adsorption behavior along with the proportional variation of molecules and silver nanoparticles. Excellent SERS signals prove that the silver nanoparticles-coated ITO is a highly SERS-active substrate and can efficiently reflect the microcosmic property of the film, which suggest it has promising potential of being a new technique for further application in the field of thin-film research.

Effect of silver nanowires on the surface-enhanced Raman spectra (SERS) of the RNA bases

RNA bases have a great importance in the biological and genetics applications. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was used to study the orientation and adsorption structure of RNA bases adsorbed on the surface of silver nanowires (Ag NWs). The Ag NWs were prepared and its UV-vis spectra were recorded. The RNA bases oriented perpendicularly on the surface of Ag NWs, as the coverage area decreases. Consequently, the in-plane bands were enhanced according to the SERS selection rule. Many bands were red shifted due to the chemisorption of RNA bases on the Ag NWs surface. New bands corresponding to the base-surface bond were appeared in the SERS spectra.
