密度泛函理论研究银上吸附对巯基吡啶的SERS化学增强效应

基于密度泛函理论计算和拉曼光谱理论分析,我们研究了对巯基吡啶(4MPY)分子的拉曼光谱和其在银上的表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS),并进一步探讨了SERS与界面吸附结构、异构化、质子化和氢键作用以及低能激发态的关系。首先,我们对两种分子异构体的相对稳定性和拉曼光谱进行了理论分析。在此基础上,进而研究了该分子与不同银簇作用时的拉曼光谱,结果表明,4MPY以巯基硫与银簇作用形成强的Ag―S键,导致拉曼光谱的线型不依赖于所选银簇的大小。接着我们考虑了吡啶氮端作用的两种情况。(1)当4MPY-银簇复合物同时以吡啶氮与水簇或水合质子簇形成氢键时,结果表明吡啶环的部分振动频率随氢键和质子化发生蓝移。(2)当考虑吡啶氮与银簇作用时,吡啶环三角畸变振动发生蓝移。上述情况不仅解释了实验观测的振动频率变化,而且表明了化学环境改变对相对拉曼强度的影响。最后,我们计算了当对巯基吡啶分子以单端或双端与银簇作用,在考虑激发光与低能激发态的能量匹配时,拉曼光谱强度与低能激发态的关系。计算结果表明,在双端吸附构型下,与吡啶氮成键的银簇受激发产生电荷转移态,不仅导致吡啶环v_(12)、v_1和v_(8a)振动的拉曼信号增强,而且选择性地增强吡啶环C―H面内对称弯曲振动v9a的拉曼信号。

Surface enhanced Raman spectra of isomeric acetylpyridines adsorbed on silver sol

Raman spectra of 2-, 3- and 4-acetylpyridines (AP) are obtained in bulk phase, in aqueous solution and in the adsorbed state on colloidal silver particles. Addition of the acetylpyridines on the Ag-sol results in aggregation of the silver particles showing characteristic charge transfer (CT) bands. Significant surface enhancement of the Raman bands are observed. Both the estimated enhancement factor and the absorption maxima of the CT bands are in inverse parallel relationship with the electron density on the nitrogen atom as reflected by the Hammett σ values of the substituents. It is inferred that the charge transfer interactions between the adsorbates and the metal particles contribute to the enhancement mechanism. This is further substantiated by the concentration dependence of enhancement. A classical electromagnetic contribution is demonstrated by the Raman excitation frequency dependence of SERS. The results further show that the molecules are adsorbed on the metal surface through the nitrogen atom. Appearance of some out-of-plane modes in the SERS spectra suggests that the pyridyl ring planes are not perpendicular to the metal surface, but are tilted.     

Nanoparticle-mirror sandwich substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering

Sandwich surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates (3S) utilizing coupling between continuous metal films and plasmonic particles were fabricated using silver mirrors, electrochemically roughened films, and various sizes of silver nanoparticles. The effect of excitation wavelength and nanoparticle size on SERS spectra of poly(vinylpyridine), selected as a model compound, was studied to determine the optimum conditions for the strongest SERS signal. The Raman enhancement resulted from the plasmon coupling of silver nanoparticles to the underlying continuous film as well as the lateral plasmon coupling between the silver nanoparticles. The formation of the charge transfer complex was also observed. The 3S configuration was used to obtain SERS spectra of dipicolinic acid (DPA), a chemical signature for Bacillus anthracis.

Surface-enhanced raman spectra of dyes and organic acids in silver solutions: chloride ion effect

We have recorded surface-enhanced Raman (SER) spectra of two different classes of compounds, cationic dyes and organic acids, and studied their chloride ion effects on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activities of the silver solution. For the positive charge dyes, rhodamine 6G (R6G) and 1,1'-dimethyl-2,2'-cyanine iodide (DECI), no SERS could be observed without the addition of chloride ions because of lack of the electrostatic interaction between the dye species and the silver particles in the silver solution. The chloride ions served to enlarge silver particles and to contribute the existence of the surface active sites, making the silver solution SERS active to the dye samples. Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) intensity of the dye molecules increased with the chloride ion concentration. After reaching a maximum intensity, a Cl- quenching effect on the intensity took place. For the organic acids, benzoic acid and p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), SERS could be observed without the coexistence of chloride ions. The intensity of the Raman scattering did not vary significantly in the presence of small amount of chloride ion. At high Cl- concentration, quenching SERS intensity began to take effect.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering study of riboflavin on borohydride-reduced silver colloids: Dependence of concentration, halide anions and pH values

The influences of concentration, halide anions and pH on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of riboflavin adsorbed on borohydride-reduced silver colloids were studied. The optimum concentration for the SERS of riboflavin is 10(-6)mol/L while the SERS enhancement varies for different modes. The addition of 0.2mol/L halide (NaCl, NaBr, and NaI) aqueous solutions, leads to a general decrease of the SERS intensity and a change of spectral profile of riboflavin excited at 514.5nm. Riboflavin interacts with the silver surface possibly through the CO and N-H modes of the uracil ring. The SERS spectra of riboflavin were recorded in the 3.4-11.6 pH range. By analyzing several SERS marker bands, the protonated, deprotonated or the coexistence of both molecular species adsorbed on the colloidal silver particles was proved.     

IR, Raman and SERS spectra of 2-phenoxymethylbenzothiazole

The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2-phenoxymethylbenzothiazole were recorded and analyzed. The surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum was recorded in a silver colloid. The vibrational wavenumbers of the compound have been computed using the Hartree–Fock/6-31G* basis and compared with the experimental values. The appearance of the Ag–O stretching mode at 237 cm⁻¹ in the SERS spectrum along with theoretically calculated atomic charge density, leads us to suggest that the molecule is adsorbed through the oxygen atom with the molecular plane tilted on the colloidal silver surface. The direction of charge transfer contribution to SERS has been discussed from the frontier orbital theory.     

Relation between sers intensity and electronic structures for a series of compounds C6H5(CH2)n COOH (n = 0, 1, 2)

In this paper, the SERS spectra of a series of compounds C₆H₅(CH₂)_nCOOH (n = 0, 1, 2) adsorbed on colloidal silver are recorded and compared with each other. The relation between the SERS intensities and the electronic structures of the compounds are discussed. The results support the molecular enhancement mechanism on SERS, especially the charge transfer idea.     

Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering of Rhodamine 123 in Silver Hydrosols and in Langmuir-Blodgett Films on Silver Islands

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) of the Rhodamine 123 (Rh 123) molecule on ion-induced silver colloids has been studied. A time-dependent study of the SER spectra at a particular pH confirms charge transfer interaction between the probe molecule and the metal. The SER spectra of Rh 123 in Ag sol is compared with that of the molecules organized in a monolayer on silver island films by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. The origin of high SERS activity of Rh 123 molecules in a monolayer on a silver island film is shown to be due to physisorption whereas in the ion-induced colloidal SERS both physisorption and chemisorption machanisms are involved. From these results, the contribution of charge transfer interaction to SERS in Ag sol has been estimated. In monolayer SERS, all the in-plane and out-of-plane (of xanthene ring) modes are more or less equally enhanced. This indicates that the xanthene plane of Rh 123 molecule organized in a LB film is oriented neither flat nor perpendicular to the silver island surface but is tilted.

Studies of the interaction of two organophosphonates with nanostructured silver surfaces

Electrochemical cycling of silver surfaces in the presence of the organophosphonates paraoxon and malathion leads to changes in the electrochemical response of silver and the formation of silver nanostructures. Adsorption of the organophosphonates onto the silver surfaces causes a significant reduction in the observed current response due to an increase in the charge transfer resistance. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) measurements indicate that paraoxon adsorbs with no structural changes, while malathion decomposes and a thiophosphonate interacts with the surface. The SERS study of these adsorbates was carried out by changing the electrochemical conditions and the concentration of the organophosphonates. The size of the nanostructures greatly influences the SERS signal and it is observed that the strongest enhancement is observed for mid-sized nanostructures with a uniform thickness on the surface. The limit of detection was shown to be in the range of 10 nM to 10 pM for paraoxon and malathion, respectively.
