The influence of pH and anions on the adsorption mechanism of rifampicin on silver colloids

The influence of pH and anions on the adsorption mechanism of rifampicin on colloidal silver nanoparticles has been analysed by electronic absorption, resonance Raman (RR) and surface‐enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS). Rifampicin is a widely used antibiotic with a zwitterionic nature. SERRS spectra of rifampicin adsorbed on silver sols, prepared using hydroxylamine hydrochloride as reducing agent, undergo dramatic changes upon lowering the pH. The spectral form changes progressively from that characteristic of chemisorbed rifampicin (at pH > 7) to one very similar to the rifampicin RR spectrum (at lower pH), indicative of a modification of the adsorption mechanism on the surface of the Ag nanoparticles. The RR‐type SERRS spectrum is proposed to result from formation of an ion pair between rifampicin and Cl⁻ anions, which, deriving from the colloid preparation, are adsorbed on the Ag surface. The addition of anions to the hydroxylamine hydrochloride sol facilitates conversion from the chemisorbed to ion pair form and leads to an order of magnitude increase in the SERRS signal.

Energy calculations of 6-mercaptopurine riboside adsorbed on a silver electrode surface using density functional theory

The normal Raman and surface enhanced Raman scattering spectra were obtained for 6-mercaptopurine riboside. The mode of interaction between 6-MPR and an adatom on a silver electrode surface was studied using density functional theory calculations. Two functionals, B3LYP and DVWN, were used in the analysis. The calculations were performed on the ionized and non-ionized forms of 6-MPR, with the silver ions attached to the three possible coordination sites, N1, N3 and N7 of the molecule. The analysis was performed based on the zero-point-energy as well as adsorption and solvation energies. Results of the B3LYP and DVWN calculations were consistent and established that coordination through the N7 of 6-MPR was the most energetically favorable of the three coordination sites. The analysis was unable to determine, with a high degree of accuracy, whether the molecule adsorbs on the surface in its non-ionized or ionized form.

SERS as a probe for adsorbate orientation on silver nanoclusters

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has been used to characterize multilayers of three isomeric aromatic compounds adsorbed on silver nanoclusters. The three structural isomers, all of which adsorb in the carboxylate form onto the silver nanoclusters, bind in two different geometries to the silver surface. Different molecular configurations correlate to differences in bonding strength of these molecules to the silver surface, which can be probed by SERS. For ortho‐hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid), we observed red shifts of major SERS peaks in comparison to the normal Raman vibrations of nonadsorbed crystalline material. For this molecule the steric hindrance between the adjacent carboxylate and hydroxyl groups causes the carboxylate group to rotate from the common flat geometry of benzene substituents on surfaces and bond directly through one of the oxygen atoms to the surface. In this case, strong coordinative bonding between the carboxylate group and the metal surface causes the red shifts in the SERS peaks. For para‐, and meta‐hydroxybenzoic acid, the steric hindrance is less likely since the two functional groups are not at adjacent positions, and therefore these molecules adsorb on the silver surface in a totally flat geometry. For these molecules, in contrast to the ortho isomer, the CO₂ interacts with the surface through an extended π bond, and these molecules are physically adsorbed in the common flat position. Therefore, for the meta and para substituents, we do not observe significant red shifts in the SERS spectrum. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

介质pH对银基上4-甲基-4H-3-巯基-1,2,4-三氮唑成膜结构和缓蚀性能影响的SERS和电化学研究

在不同pH介质中,缓蚀试剂4-甲基-4H-3-巯基-1,2,4-三氮唑(4-MTTL)都能在银基底上形成自组装膜。SERS光谱表明:当pH=3时,4-MTTL分子是以硫醇式,通过两个氮原子为吸附位点,以较平躺方式在银表面构筑自组装膜;当介质为pH=7和pH=11时,4-MTTL以硫醇式,通过氮和硫原子为吸附位点倾斜或垂直方式作用于银表面。由于后者的吸附方式比前者更为垂直于表面,所以形成的膜中分子排列更为致密。电化学极化实验也表明,在pH=3的条件下,形成的4-MTTL单层有更正的腐蚀电位;在pH=11时,构筑的膜缓蚀能力强于pH=7的。并由电化学交流阻抗数据解析了相应的缓蚀机理。

Plasmon‐enhanced polarized Raman spectroscopy for sensitive surface characterization

Local‐mode and localized surface plasmons generated on the silver thin film can selectively enhance the Raman signal from the surface. Further improvement of surface signal can be obtained by using the polarized Raman technique that results in a dramatic enhancement of the surface sensitivity by up to 25.4 times as compared to that without a silver coating. This technique will be very useful for Raman study on samples that suffer overlapping background signal. In this article, we show that it can be used to significantly improve the signal of thin strained‐Si layer on top of SiGe buffer layer. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

金属纳米粒子自组装多层结构的光谱特征

分别以对巯基苯胺和1,4-二巯基苯为偶联分子,采用自组装方法,在功能化玻片上组装了二层和三层银纳米粒子有序结构.实验发现,耦联于一、二层组装体中的对巯基苯胺的拉曼散射可由粒子间电磁偶合和电荷转移而显著增强.但第二层组装银纳米粒子上1,4-二巯基苯的吸附可导致组装体中对巯基苯胺的拉曼散射强度显著减弱,这与分子吸附导致的粒子中电荷分布的改变密切相关.纳米粒子的进一步组装使得1,4-二巯基苯的拉曼光谱有所增强.

Plasmonic coupling from silver nanoparticle dimer array mediating surface plasmon resonant enhancement on the thin silver film

We investigate the optical absorption spectrum of a periodic array of silver nanoparticle dimer on a thin silver film using multiple-scattering formalism. Surface plasmon polariton mediated from silver nanoparticle dimer array is excited and enhanced by about four times compared with that from monomer array. This enhancement results from the coupling between the two nanoparticles’ plasmons of symmetry mode and anti-symmetry mode. We also illustrate the distance-dependent nanoparticle plasmonic coupling modes based on the polarized charge distribution in dimer geometry. The proposed silver nanoparticle dimer array can be used to enhance surface spectroscopy.     

含咔唑与偶氮分散红共聚物的表面增强共振拉曼光谱研究

借助于表面增强共振拉曼光谱散射(SERRS)技术,研究了一种新型的偶氮聚合物材料侧链含咔唑与偶氮分散红共聚物(CAP)在化学沉积法制备的银膜表面的拉曼峰增强和吸附行为。实验结果显示,CAP在银表面的状态为: 聚合物通过咔唑单体中咔唑基团和偶氮单体中硝基与银膜衬底发生物理吸附,而聚合物的主链与衬底相距较远没有相互作用。可以推测,聚合物在衬底表面的这种状态将对偶氮光存储器件的稳定性和工作效率产生不良影响。     

SERS of plant material

Colloidal gold and silver were formed by the spontaneous reduction of metal salts by plant tissue—alfalfa seeds, green tea leaves, carrots and red cabbage. The colloids were analyzed using electron microscopy and spectroscopic tools. The reduction process yielded stable gold colloids, but for silver the colloidal particles were bigger and less stable, tending to form aggregates. The formation of metal colloids enabled surface‐enhanced Raman spectra (SERS) measurements, yielding specific vibrational signatures for the plant components in the proximity of the colloids. The main SERS peaks were attributed to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and other adenine‐containing materials. Other peaks were assigned to flavins [e.g. flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)], chlorophyll, lipids and other biocomponents. Since the SERS spectra did not show any antioxidants common to all four different types of plant tissue, it is proposed that NAD and FAD compounds that play an important role in the respiration process may be involved in the metal reduction process.

The daguerreotype surface as a SERS substrate: characterization of image deterioration in plates from the 19th century studio of Southworth & Hawes

Dramatic condition changes were noted in a group of daguerreotypes during a 10 month‐long exhibition featuring masterworks of the prominent Boston‐based studio of Southworth & Hawes. The changes took the form of a hazy, extended white surface layer and of white spots that partially obscured the images after between four weeks and 10 months of exhibition. Raman spectroscopy, complemented by in situ scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometry (SEM–EDS), was used to nondestructively characterize this form of image deterioration in eight representative daguerreotypes from the studio. Raman proved to be a sensitive technique to noninvasively identify the compounds on the plates due to the fact that their Ag surfaces behave as surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. A band at ca 242 cm⁻¹ assigned to the Ag Cl stretching mode was observed in the areas where a white surface layer or white spots are present. In some of the areas probed, substituted aromatic compounds were also detected. The presence of Ag Cl bonds on daguerreotype surfaces has profound implications for their exhibition and preservation due to the photosensitivity of silver chloride in the ultraviolet–visible range, which can generate metallic silver that would redeposit on the surfaces. The possible sources of the compounds detected on the surfaces of the plates are discussed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Au/TiN复合薄膜制备及其表面增强拉曼光谱研究

表面增强拉曼散射光谱(SERS)已用于环境监测、生物医药、食品卫生等领域,而高活性SERS基底是表面增强拉曼散射光谱技术应用的关键。TiN作为新型等离子材料具有较强的SERS性能,同时化学稳定性及生物相容性较好,但其SERS性能不如贵金属金强。该研究采用氨气还原氮化法和电化学沉积法,在TiN薄膜表面沉积贵金属Au纳米颗粒制备出Au/TiN复合薄膜。在Au/TiN复合薄膜中单质Au和TiN两种物相共存;随着电化学沉积时间延长,TiN薄膜表面单质金纳米颗粒数量逐渐增多,金纳米颗粒尺寸增大,颗粒间距减小。由于金与TiN两者的本征表面等离子共振耦合作用,Au/TiN复合薄膜的共振吸收峰发生了偏移。利用罗丹明6G为拉曼探针分子,对Au/TiN复合薄膜进行SERS性能分析,发现Au/TiN复合薄膜上的R6G探针分子的拉曼峰信号强度随沉积时间延长呈现先增大后减小的规律;当电化学沉积时间为5 min时,R6G拉曼信号峰较高,复合薄膜样品的SERS活性最大。将Au/TiN复合薄膜和Au薄膜分别浸泡在10-3,10-5,10-7,10-8及10-9 mol·L-1 R6G溶液5 min,进行检测限分析,发现Au/TiN复合薄膜检测极限达10-8 mol·L-1,增强因子达到8.82×105,与Au薄膜和TiN薄膜相比,Au/TiN复合薄膜上对R6G探针分子SERS活性最高。这得益于Au/TiN复合膜中表面等离子体产生的耦合效应,使得局域电磁场强度增强,从而引起R6G探针分子拉曼信号增强。通过2D-FDTD模拟电场分布发现Au/TiN,Au及TiN薄膜具有电场增强作用,其中Au/TiN复合薄膜的增强作用尤为显著,这也证实了氮化钛与金纳米颗粒之间存在耦合效应。另外发现TiN与Au之间可能存在电荷转移,促进了4-氨基苯硫酚氧化反应,进而证实了TiN与Au薄膜的协同作用。此外,Au/TiN复合薄膜均匀性较好,相对平均偏差仅为7.58%。由此可见,采用电化学沉积制备的Au/TiN复合薄膜具有作为SERS基底材料的应用潜力。

Tunability and linewidth sharpening of plasmon resonances on a periodic gold nanowire array coupled to a thin textured silver film

We theoretically study the plasmon mode spectrum of a multilayer structure consisting of a periodic gold nanowire array and a spatially separated thin silver film with periodic slits. Results show that the plasmon mode spectrum of the multilayer structure depends sensitively on the relative lateral displacement of the Au nanowire array with respect to the textured silver film. This is due to the interaction between the localized surface plasmon (LSP) of the nanowire array and the plasmon modes, including the horizontal LSP and the antisymmetric short-range surface plasmon polariton (SPP), of the textured thin silver film. The strong coupling between the LSP and the antisymmetric short-range SPP results in a redshifted plasmon resonance with a significantly narrow linewidth and a large electromagnetic field enhancement. Moreover, the lateral displacement also has a great influence on the spacer layer controlled dipole-surface interaction. Therefore, this relative lateral displacement provides an efficient way to tune the optical properties of the multilayer structure, and this kind of highly tunable nanostructure can be used as a tunable plasmonic filter or a substrate for LSPs sensor.
