Adsorption Behaviors of 4-Mercaptobenzoic Acid on Silver and Gold Films

The adsorption behaviors of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid on silver and gold nanoparticles were studied by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and density functional theory. The silver and gold films by electrodeposition have the same excellent characteristics as SERS-active substrates. At the same, the SERS spectra indicate that 4-mercaptobenzoic acid molecules are adsorbed on the surfaces of gold nanoparticles through the S atom, and that the carboxyl group is far away from surface of gold nanoparticles, and that there is a certain angle between the plane of benzene ring and gold film. However, 4-mercaptobenzoic acid molecules are adsorbed on the surfaces of silver nanoparticles through the carboxyl group, and the S atom is far away from surface of silver nanoparticles, and there is also a certain angle between the plane of benzene ring and the surface of silver nanoparticles. Here it is demonstrated the calculated Raman frequencies are in good agreement with experimental values, and the calculated Raman frequencies are also helpful to infer the adsorption behaviors of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid molecules.     

A study of DFT and surface enhanced Raman scattering in silver colloids for thymine

The vibrational spectrum of crystal thymine is calculated by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP complex function. Considering the effect of intermolecular H-bonds, we add two water molecules that can form H-bonds with the CO and NH groups of thymine. The experimental spectra of normal Raman of thymine in solid state and surface enhanced Raman (SERS) of thymine adsorbed in silver colloids are presented in this study. The calculated Raman spectrum of thymine by DFT is in agreement with the experimental result of normal Raman spectrum. The appearance of new bands of thymine in SERS shows that molecules of thymine are adsorbed in the surface of silver nanoparticles with a perpendicular orientation through an oxygen atom (O7).     

Raman spectral study of metal-cytosine complexes: a density functional theoretical (DFT) approach

The fluctuation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra has been an obstacle to the analysis of the adsorbate on the metal surface. In this paper, we aim at using the density functional theory (DFT) to study the fluctuant Raman spectra of the cytosine molecule which interacts with a coinage metal atom or cation via N1 and N3 sites. The results show that the adsorption site strongly influences the Raman spectral property of cytosine molecule, especially the relative intensity of some bands. In addition, the SERS spectra of cytosine which is adsorbed on the gold, silver, and copper electrodes are measured, and the possible orientation and adsorption site of the cytosine molecule adsorbed on metal electrodes surface are proposed with the help of DFT simulations.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering measurements on silver nanoparticles covered with differently formed platinum films

Gold and silver electromagnetic nanoresonators covered by a thin layer of platinum are often used to study adsorption of various molecules on “model platinum surfaces” with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. In this contribution spectra of pyridine adsorbed on films formed from core–shell Ag@Pt and Ag@Ag–Pt nanoparticles and pure Pt or Ag nanoparticles were measured using a confocal Raman microscope. The SERS spectra of pyridine adsorbed on alloy Ag@Ag–Pt nanoparticles could not be obtained as a linear combination of spectra measured on pure Ag and Pt surfaces. In other words, for silver electromagnetic nanoresonators covered by platinum there is no simple correlation between the “quality” of the deposited Pt layer and the relative intensity of SERS bands characteristic for adsorbate interacting with silver. The SERS spectra accumulated from various places of a film formed from Ag@Pt or Ag@Ag–Pt nanoclusters may differ significantly. Using Ag@Pt nanoparticles with practically negligible amount of Ag on the surface (as per the stripping measurement), it is possible to record SERS spectrum in which the contribution characteristic for pyridine adsorbed on the Ag surface is well visible. It means that, even for macroscopic samples of core–shell Ag–Pt nanoparticles, averaging of many spectra measured at various locations of the sample should be carried out to characterize reliably their properties.     

Self-assembled dynamics of silver nanoparticles and self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-benzenedithiol adsorbed on silver nanoparticles: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering study

Self-assembled dynamics of silver nanoparticles and self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-benzenedithiol (1,4-BDT) adsorbed on silver nanoparticles were investigated experimentally with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and theoretically with density functional theory (DFT) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The absorption spectroscopy of 1,4-BDT in silver sol at different time intervals was measured, which give the indirect evidence of self-assembled dynamics of silver nanoparticles and self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-benzenedithiol (1,4-BDT) adsorbed on silver nanoparticles. To obtain the direct evidence of self-assembled dynamics of silver nanoparticles and self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-benzenedithiol (1,4-BDT) adsorbed on silver nanoparticles, the SERS of 1,4-BDT were measured experimentally and investigated theoretically. The appearances of S–S stretching band (revealing the formation of multilayers of 1,4-BDT), and strongly enhanced S–C stretching, C–C ring stretching vibrational modes clearly show self-assembled dynamics of 1,4-BDT.     

Silver–platinum core–shell nanoparticles for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

Core–shell Ag@Pt nanoparticles have been synthesised by the means of seed-growth reaction including reduction of PtCl₄²⁻ with silver and replacing Ag atoms with Pt. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of pyridine (which gives slightly different spectra when interacting with various metals) adsorbed on synthesised Ag@Pt clusters were measured. SERS measurements have revealed that deposition of the platinum layer causes near elimination of the spectral interferences from pyridine directly interacting with the silver core. The average SERS enhancement factor for pyridine adsorbed on the Ag@Pt clusters was estimated as equal to about 10³–10⁴, significantly higher than the SERS enhancement factor achievable on the pure platinum nanostructures. Using the silver core (instead of the previously used gold cores) allows for measurement of strong SERS spectra on the Pt covered nanostructures for the wider range of the excitation radiation. This procedure of platinum deposition was tested with various silver nanoparticles – produced with borohydride, citrate and citrate/borohydride methods – which substantially differ in size distribution. The application of formed Ag@Pt structures for obtaining intense Raman spectra for molecules adsorbed on only slightly modified platinum surfaces is discussed.     

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic studies on 1H-1,2,4-triazole adsorbed on silver colloidal nanoparticles

1H-1,2,4-triazole is a very effective corrosion inhibitor for copper. The adsorption of this compound on silver colloidal nanoparticles has been studied by means of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). SERS data are interpreted with the help of DFT calculations of models of the surface complex formed by 1H-1,2,4-triazole on the silver colloidal nanoparticles surface. It was found that this compound is adsorbed on metal surface in its anionic form and that it interacts with silver through the N₁ and N₂ atoms. The molecular plane assumes a tilted orientation with respect to the silver surface.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of a series of n-hydroxybenzoic acids (n = P, M and O) on the silver nano-particles

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of a series of n-hydroxybenzoic acids (n-HBA, n = P, M and O) adsorbed on the silver nano-particles were studied, respectively, in the silver colloidal solution and on the dried silver-coated filter paper. On the same substrate, the different molecules' SERS spectra were different, while on the different substrates the same molecules' SERS spectra were also different. Significant changes were found in the SERS spectra of PHBA molecules adsorbed on the two substrates, and the changes found in MHBA's spectra on two substrates were next to PHBA's, while almost no changes were found in the spectra of OHBA molecules. Moreover, it was found, on the filter paper, that the SERS spectra of the same molecules would change with the coverage density of the silver nano-particles. The analyses showed that the origins of these changes were the different adsorption behavior of molecules adsorbed on the silver nano-particles. Because in these three molecules the relative positions of the carboxyls and hydroxyls on the benzenes are different, the adsorption behaviors of these three molecules adsorbed on the silver surfaces are also different. The experimental results suggest that the surface characteristic of the substrate and the surface configuration of the adsorbate could exert a great influence on the adsorption behavior of the adsorbates on the substrates.     

SERS studies of the adsorption of guanine derivatives on gold colloidal nanoparticles

Surface enhanced Raman scattering spectra of guanine, guanosine and 2'-deoxyguanosine adsorbed on gold colloidal nanoparticles were obtained. From the striking similarity of the SERS spectra of these compounds, it can be evidenced that guanosine and 2'-deoxyguanosine adsorb on gold nanoparticles through the guanine moiety. The molecular sites involved in the interaction with the gold surface are the same for the 3 compounds: the oxygen of the carbonilic group and the N(7) atom. Guanine, guanosine and 2'-deoxyguanosine adsorb on the gold substrates with a tilted orientation with respect to the metal surface. SERS data were interpreted taking into account density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations of guanine.
