苯甲酸的羟基取代物在银纳米颗粒表面的吸附行为的研究

分别以覆银滤纸和银胶溶液中的银纳米颗粒为基底,对苯甲酸的三种羟基取代物(n-HBA,n=P,M,O)进行了表面增强拉曼散射(SERS),发现PHBA分子在覆银滤纸上的SERS光谱和银胶中的SERS光谱明显不同,而MHBA分子和OHBA分子在两种基底上的SERS光谱却很相近。分析表明这些变化都来源于分子在银纳米颗粒表面吸附行为的变化,基底的表面特性和分子的表面构型对分子在基底表面的吸附行为会产生很大的影响。     

Quenching and enhancing of SERS of methyl orange after the addition of chlorine and nitrate anions

The influence of Cl⁻ and NO₃⁻ anions on surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of methyl orange adsorbed on “chemical pure” silver colloids was studied. It was found that NO₃⁻ could give rise to a large enhancement of SERS of methyl orange, while Cl⁻ could obviously weaken the SERS intensity of this molecule. Both quenching and enhancing effects were discussed and compared with each other. It indicated the coadsorbed process of these adsorbed species, and different adsorption behaviors of the molecules on silver surface directly resulted in the difference. In addition, the results of TEM pictures and UV-visible spectral experiments have also confirmed the conclusion above.     

温度对苯甲酸衍生物在银胶体系中的SERS的影响

本文报道了温度对银胶体系中的苯甲酸衍生物(PHBA,MHBA,SA)水溶液的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)的影响。将苯甲酸衍生物水溶液与银溶胶混合后加热至沸腾,再冷却至室温(20℃左右)后测得SERS谱。将其与未加热混合液的SERS谱相比较发现这些分子加热前后的SERS谱中存在许多明显的差异。这种差异可能来自于苯甲酸衍生物在银胶颗粒表面的吸附方式的变化以及吸附的分子与溶液中残留的柠檬酸根在加热作用下发生的相互影响共同作用的结果。     

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) behavior of substituted propenoic acids used in heterogeneous catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation

The strength and geometry of adsorption of substituted propenoic acids on silver surface were studied by means of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) using silver sol. Based on their SERS behavior, two classes of phenylpropenoic acids studied were distinguished. The first class of propenoic acids (atropic acid, (E)‐2,3‐diphenylpropenoic acid, (E)‐2‐(2‐methoxyphenyl)‐3‐phenylpropenoic acid, (E)‐2,3‐di‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)phenylpropenoic acid and (E)‐2‐(2‐methoxyphenyl)‐3‐(4‐fluorophenyl)propenoic acid) has shown strong charge transfer (CT) effect. We suggest bidentate carboxyl bonded species based on the SERS enhanced bands of νCOO⁻ around 1394 cm⁻¹ and νC―C of the ―C―COO⁻ moiety at 951 cm⁻¹. In these series the plane of the α‐phenyl group (γCH out‐of‐plane vibrations at 850–700 cm⁻¹) is almost parallel to the silver surface, while the β‐phenyl group is in tilted position depending on the type and the position of substituent(s) showing strong SERS enhanced bands of νCC + βCH (in‐plane mode) at 1075 cm⁻¹, νCC (ring breathing mode, in‐plane) at 1000 cm⁻¹ and γCCC (out‐of‐plane mode) around 401 cm⁻¹. The other class of propenoic acids (cinnamic acid, (E)‐2‐phenyl‐3‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)propenoic acid) has shown weak electromagnetic (EM) enhancement (CC bands is enhanced in cinnamic acid). In this case no significant carboxyl enhancement was observed, so we suggest that adsorbed species lie parallel to the surface. The two types of adsorption can be related to the dissociation ability of the carboxylic group. In the first case the carboxylic H dissociates, while in the second case it does not, as indicated also by the characteristic νCO band at 1686 cm⁻¹ in the FT‐Raman spectra of methanolic solutions.

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.

Surface enhanced Raman scattering of 2-cyanopyridine adsorbed on silver colloidal particles

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of 2-cyanopyridine (2 CP) adsorbed on silver colloidal particles have been investigated. The prominent SERS bands are observed at 556, 612, 778, 1002, 1060, 1072, 1150 and 1240 cm⁻¹. The absolute enhancement factor of the Raman signals in SERS studies has been estimated to be of the order of 10²–10⁵ for various bands. The 2CP molecules have been ascribed to adsorb on colloidal particles in standing up fashion.

本文研究了间羟基苯甲酸(m-hydroxybenzoic acid,MHBA)的常规拉曼散射(normal Raman scattering,NRS)光谱及其吸附在Ag纳米颗粒上的表面增强拉曼散射(surface-enhanced Raman scattering,SERS)光谱。采用密度泛函理论(density functional theory,DFT),在B3LYP/6-31+G**(C、H、O)/LANL2DZ(Ag)水平上,对MHBA分子进行了几何结构优化,在此基础上计算了MHBA分子的NRS光谱以及其吸附在Ag纳米颗粒上两种不同吸附构型下的SERS光谱,并和实验值进行比较。结果表明,间羟基苯甲酸分子通过羧基与羟基共同吸附构型的计算结果比该分子通过羧基吸附构型的计算结果更符合实验值。最后,利用GaussView可视化软件对其振动模式进行了全面归属。     

Application of calixarene to high active surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates suitable for in situ detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in seawater

The characteristics of the sol–gel matrix embedding Ag nanoparticles functionalized with 25,27‐dimercaptoacetic acid‐26,28‐dihydroxy‐4‐tert‐butylcalix[4]arene (DMCX) suitable for the in situ detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in seawater is presented. The DMCX‐functionalized silver nanoparticles were produced by the thermal reduction method in xerogel film. The silver colloid blocks were formed in the sol–gel matrix, with a diameter ranging from 50 to 120 nm. DMCX forming the monolayer on the silver nanoparticle surface contributes to the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity due to the aggregation of silver nanoparticles and the preconcentration of PAH molecules within the zone of electromagnetic enhancement. When selected, PAH molecules e.g. pyrene and naphthalene were adsorbed onto the SERS substrate; Raman band positions of PAH were slightly shifted. A calibration procedure reveals that this type of SERS substrate has a limit of detection of 3 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol/l for pyrene and 13 × 10⁻⁹ mol/l for naphthalene in artificial seawater. The Raman signal response on a pyrene concentration change in artificial seawater was evaluated using a 671‐nm Raman setup with a flow‐through cell. This type of SERS substrate will be suitable for the in situ trace detection of pollutant chemicals in seawater. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

SERS and XPS observation of the adsorption behavior of NO and NO2 on a silver powder surface

The influence of H₂O on the adsorption behavior of NO or NO₂ on a silver powder surface was studied by SERS and XPS at room temperature. Water vapor was found to be responsible for the adsorption of NO on the silver powder surface. When surface species such as Ag₂O are present on the surface, some of the NO₂ molecules are adsorbed on the surface species to produce NO^-₃, whereas NO molecules are adsorbed on a different site to produce NO^-₂.

Silver nanoparticle coverage dependence of surface-enhanced Raman scattering

We report surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from 4-mercaptopyridine adsorbed on nanotextured silver surfaces as the coverage of silver is varied. The degree of surface enhancement is strongly dependent on silver coverage and correlated to the extinction of the surface at the Raman excitation wavelength, that extinction being determined by multiparticle surface plasmon resonances. The coverage dependence of the Raman intensity is consistent with signals being dominated by molecules at junctions inside nanoparticle aggregates where electromagnetic energy is localized into “hot spots” by interactions of the incident and scattered fields with the surface plasmons. The Raman intensity drops precipitously near the conductivity percolation threshold because these hot spots are destroyed when conducting paths allow plasmons to propagate. Our approach to substrate preparation provides clean surfaces with average enhancements ≥10⁷, an order of magnitude larger than typical for SERS. PACS 78.67.-n; 78.68.+m; 33.20.Fb     

Raman and surface‐enhanced Raman studies of α‐aminophosphinic inhibitors of metalloenzymes

Here, we report the nature of new di‐α‐amino (L¹–L³) and α‐amino‐α‐hydroxyphosphinic (L⁴–L⁶) acids, which are considered potential inhibitors of the aminopeptidase N, adsorbed on a colloidal silver surface by means of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. In order to reveal the adsorption mechanism of these species from their SERS spectra, Fourier‐transform Raman (FT‐RS) spectra of these nonadsorbed molecules were measured. By examining the enhancement, shift in wavenumbers, and changes in breadth of the SERS bands due to the adsorption process, we revealed that the tilted compounds interact with the colloidal silver substrate mainly through the benzene ring, amino group, and phosphinic moiety in the following way. The benzene ring of L² and L³ is ‘standing up’ on the colloidal silver surface, and the C N bond is almost vertical to it, while the tilt angle between the O PO bond and this surface is greater than 45°. On the other hand, for L¹, L⁴, and L⁵, the aromatic ring and C N bond are arranged more or less tilted, and the tilt angle between the O PO bond and the silver substrate is smaller than 45°. The elongation of the bond to the benzene ring, the L⁶ case, produces an almost horizontal orientation of the benzene ring and the O PO bond on the silver nanoparticles. For these ligands, the complement inhibition IC₅₀ tested in vitro using porcine kidney leucine aminopeptidase was correlated mainly with the behavior of the O PO and C CH N fragments on the silver surface.

Raman spectroscopic probing of plant material using SERS

We report surface‐enhanced Raman studies on intact plant material using onion layers as a biological target, and silver nanoaggregates and silver island films as enhancing plasmonic structures. Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement allows the detection of strong Raman signatures of chemical constituents of the surface of the onion layer such as cellulose, proteins, and flavonols. Because of long‐time incubation, SERS sensors can access the extracellular space in the inner of the layer. The location of silver nanoparticles inside the onion layer has been monitored by the SERS images collected from chemicals present in the onion and/or reporter molecules attached to the nanoparticles. Our studies show a competitive adsorption of intrinsic bio molecules of the onion layer and reporter molecules. Different spectra from different places of the layer indicate the complex heterogeneous chemical structure of the plant material. The pH‐sensitive reporter molecule para mercapto benzoic acid attached to the nanoparticles allows us to infer pH values inside the extracellular matrix of the onion layer.

Raman spectra of benzoic acid enhanced by the silver nanoparticles of various sizes

Using sodium borohydride as the reducing agent and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP, MW = 10 000) as the stabilizer, we obtained silver nanoparticles of various diameters (8–78 nm) from silver nitrate aqueous solutions in the concentration range from 0.001 to 0.1 M. The surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from benzoic acid's ring‐breathing mode at 1003 cm⁻¹ was detected from its dilute solutions (∼10⁻² M) doped with these silver nanoparticles under 488‐nm laser excitation. The observed size dependences of SERS intensities fit quite well with those calculated by Schatz's theoretical model for spherical silver nanoparticles. The only exception occurred with the smallest particles (8 nm), possibly due to the failure of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory used in this model. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Study on Adsorption States by Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Abstract

SERS has been used as a state-resolving probe to study the adsorption states. in the case of pyridine (Py) adsorbed on the Ag electrode surface, the equilibrium and transition between two adsorbed states, i.e., the perpendicular mode adsorbed through the nitrogen lone-pair electrons and the flat mode through the π electrons of the aromatic ring, were studied. It was found that in the low pyridine concentration or the initial stage of adsorption, the flat mode was favored. While the concentration became higher and the adsorption tended to equilibrium, the adsorbed molecules would transit to the perpendicular mode. The similar phenomenon was also observed when changing the applied electric potential and the pH value of the solution. In the case of the adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB) on the HNO₃-etched silver surface, the influence of Cl^? ions on the adsorption states of MB was investigated. It showed that MB molecules adsorbed on the silver surface tended to transform from the “lying-down” state to the “end-on” state while adding Cl^? ions.
