Abstract: | The Raman scattering spectrum of 2,2′-cyanine on colloidal silver metal particles is discussed. Preliminary assignments of some of the vibrational Raman bands to the motions of specific chromophoric units are presented and multiplet character of some bands is discussed. Enhanced Raman scattering of 2,2′-cyanine occurs when the laser radiation is tuned to the J-aggregate absorption feature at 575 nm. The enhancement in Raman intensity is the result of a diminution of fluorescence intensity, as well as a quantitative increase in Raman scattering intensity, and is distinct from other types of enhancement phenomena (e.g., resonance Raman of monomeric solution dye, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)). The resonance Raman enhancement, due to excitation at the frequency corresponding to the J-aggregate absorption, is found to be 2 × 10+3. |
