利用原位表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)技术,分别观察了2-巯基吡啶和4-巯基吡啶在银表面自组装单层的电化学行为。实验结果表明,随着电位的负移,2-巯基吡啶和4-巯基吡啶分子在银表面均呈现出先倾斜再垂直然后倾斜的吸附取向改变过程。但发生完全脱附的电位则有所不同。     

巯基苯并咪唑在银电极表面的自组装吸附特性及表面增强拉曼光谱

采用循环伏安法处理Ag电极,得到活化的具有表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)效应的粗糙Ag表面,进一步采用激光拉曼光谱探讨了2-巯基苯并咪唑(MBI)在其表面的自组装分子层的吸附特性。实验表明,在活性Ag表面的MBI自组装分子层能够产生理想的SERS效应,其强度随探针分子MBI浓度的增加先提高后减弱,达到一定浓度时因受其空间位阻等因素的影响,增强效应减弱。MBI在1×10^-6 mol·L^-1 浓度时增强效果最大。拉曼增强效应随着体系酸度的变化有着明显不同,在强酸性条件下的增强效应明显优于中性和碱性条件。MBI分子存在两种不同的异构体和在不同酸度下存在3种不同的存在形态,并形成动态平衡。pH <2时,MBI分子主要以硫酮式MBI⁺存在,并以巯基上的S:与活性Ag以配位方式吸附成键,其整个大π键平面垂直地吸附于Ag表面,产生相对较大的SERS信号。pH >2时,由于硫酮式和硫醇式与活性Ag的键合方式和能力不同,硫醇式上的S与Ag以S-Ag共价方式同时双键侧上的N以配位方式协同参与吸附成键,比硫酮式MBI⁺的单纯配位吸附要强,因而形成了竞争吸附,表现为SERS在pH=2~3.7之间的急剧下降。MBI硫醇式由于以S-Ag、N-Ag键的协同吸附,形成了倾斜侧卧式垂直吸附,而使拉曼增强效应相对减弱。     

溶液酸碱性对金纳米粒子在端基功能化单分子膜表面组装影响的SERS光谱研究

在4,4’-二硫联吡啶在Au表面形成自组装单分子层膜的基础上,采用表面增强拉曼散射光谱(SERS)研究了在不同pH值条件下金纳米粒子在4,4’-二硫联吡啶自组装单分子膜/Au体系表面的组装。研究结果表明,由于处于单分子膜表面的吡啶环中氮原子的质子化程度随溶液环境中pH值的变化而变化,使得金纳米粒子与单分子膜表面间的结合作用程度不同,由此会引起金纳米粒子在单分子膜表面的覆盖度存在差异,并最终导致所观测到的4-巯基吡啶自组装单分子膜的SERS光谱强度存在明显的差异。而且,令人感兴趣的是,所观测到的SERS谱峰强度随金纳米粒子组装时pH值的变化呈现出明显的规律性。结合分子结构特征的分析,初步阐明了SERS谱峰强度随pH值这一组装条件的改变而发生规律性变化的内在原因。

采用原位电化学表面增强拉曼光谱(EC-SERS)和电化学还原方法,研究了内消旋-2,3-二巯基丁二酸(DMSA)在活化的银电极上的吸附行为。通过模型分子DMSA进行结构优化的密度泛函理论计算,得到了理论拉曼光谱。在相同的DMSA自组装时间条件下,其在Ag电极表面的覆盖度倒数与溶液浓度倒数成线性关系,说明DMSA单分子层在活性Ag表面的化学吸附遵循Langmuir等温吸附模型。在酸性介质中,DMSA浸置自组装50 min后,SERS峰强趋于稳定,达到了该浓度下的动态吸附平衡。EC-SERS信号随施加电位的负移逐渐减弱至基本消失。通过计算探针分子DMSA在不同电位下的增强因子(EF),指出较负电位下存在着还原/脱附作用,使得Ag表面的拉曼活性降低,尤其在小于-0.4 V的还原电位时,增强因子显著减小。

4-二甲基对巯基苯胺吸附于银簇上的光诱导催化偶联反应机理研究

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的B3LYP方法对4-二甲基对巯基苯胺吸附在Ag簇上催化偶联生成4,4’-二巯基偶氮苯(4,4’-DMAB)的反应机理进行理论研究.对比研究了暗反应条件下和光照条件下4-二甲基对巯基苯胺吸附在Ag簇上发生催化偶联生成4,4’-二巯基偶氮苯(4,4’-DMAB)的反应机理.为了了解4-二甲基对巯基苯胺中的巯基端S原子吸附在银簇上对反应的影响,比较研究了4-二甲基对巯基苯胺中的N和S原子同时吸附和仅N原子吸附在银簇上两种条件下的化学反应机理.用自然键轨道(NBO)理论和分子中的原子理论(AIM)分析了分子轨道间相互作用和成键特征.研究结果发现:该反应的关键在于氨基端两个甲基的脱去,在暗反应和光照条件下,两端吸附时第二个甲基脱去所需活化能均很高,分别为57.95、63.88 kcal/mol,表明光照在反应中没起到催化作用.暗反应条件下巯基端吸附起到助催化作用,反应为两端协同催化过程.光照条件下银簇两端协同催化过程表现得不明显.     

2-噻吩甲酸在Fe3O4@Ag基底上的吸附及表面增强拉曼光谱

采用共沉淀法合成Fe₃O₄纳米颗粒,再以柠檬酸三钠还原AgNO₃获得了具有SERS活性的Fe₃O₄@Ag磁性纳米复合材料。基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的量子化学计算方法和表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)技术,从理论计算和实验测定表征探讨了2-噻吩甲酸(2-TCA)在Fe₃O₄@Ag表面的吸附行为和增强效应。结果表明:理论计算得到的拉曼光谱与实际测得的常规拉曼光谱基本一致,而在DFT理论计算中所键连的Ag原子数越多,与实测值就越接近。溶液的浓度和pH对拉曼增强效果有很大的影响,当溶液的pH=3且浓度为1×10^-4 mol·L^-1时有最大拉曼增强效应。峰强随2-TCA浓度的增加呈现先增大后减小的趋势,浓度过大会导致大量2-TCA分子吸附聚集在Ag表面形成局部"拥堵",阻碍了激发光尤其是光谱信号的散射通过,从而减弱了拉曼增强效应。pH的变化使溶液中2-TCA分子形态发生改变,结构形态不同,其在Ag表面的吸附方式也不同。中性C₄H₃SCOOH分子以环上S:形式垂直吸附键合在Ag表面,形成S—Ag配位键而产生SERS光谱。-1价C₄H₃SCOO^-离子以S—Ag配位和O—Ag共价"双键合"侧卧方式共同吸附在Ag表面而产生SERS光谱。在Ag表面,以单独S—Ag配位键吸附或键合的能力比S—Ag配位和O—Ag共价共同吸附方式要弱,但其产生的SERS信号更强,故2-TCA中性分子比2-TCA^-离子更有利于SERS的产生。随着pH值的增加,溶液中的2-TCA由中性分子逐渐转化为-1价的C₄H₃SCOO^-离子,因而在pH>3以后,拉曼增强效应逐步减弱。     

Electrochemical and SERS spectroscopic investigations of 4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol monolayers self-assembled on copper surface

Electrochemically anticorrosive behaviors of 4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (4-MTTL) monolayers self-assembled on copper surface have been investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), electrochemical polarization measurement and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. The EIS mechanism of the copper surface adsorbed with 4-MTTL monolayers was fitted with the mode of R(QR)(QR)(CR). The electrochemical polarization experimental results indicated the high inhibitive efficiency of about 81.1%. Potential dependent SERS result suggests that 4-MTTL molecule was anchored at the copper surface via S⁶ and N² atoms with a tilted orientation, which resulting in a strong interaction between the 4-MTTL molecule and copper surface. The molecule tended to experience a transition state of the adsorption at the copper surface via S⁶ atom only as the potential applied at −0.5 V vs. SCE.     

Electrochemical and in situ SERS spectroelectrochemical investigations of 4‐methyl‐4H‐1, 2, 4‐triazole‐3‐thiol monolayers at a silver electrode

Electrochemically anticorrosive behavior of 4‐methyl‐4H‐1, 2, 4‐triazole‐3‐thiol (MTTL) self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) on the silver electrode was studied by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization measurements. The promising inhibition effect of the MTTL for silver had been affirmed. Results of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) experiments indicated that the MTTL molecule in a tilted orientation was self‐assembled on the silver surface through S⁶ and N² atoms to form monolayers. An in situ electrochemical SERS experiment implied the changes of adsorption fashion of MTTL momolayers on the silver surface with the potential shifted to more negative direction.

2-Amino-5-(4-pyridinyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole film at the silver surface: Observation by Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical methods

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum of the 2-amino-5-(4-pyridinyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (4-APTD) on the silver surface was recorded and assigned with the help of B3LYP/6-311G** method. SERS result explored that 4-APTD molecule with a tilted orientation anchored at the silver surface via N¹², S¹ and C² atoms. In situ SERS spectroelectrochemical experiment indicated 4-APTD molecule experienced an intermediate adsorption process of its thiadiazole ring moiety with the vertical orientation at the surface before the 4-APTD molecule detached completely from the surface as the potential applied at −1.3 V vs. SCE. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization experiments exhibited the sound anticorrosive effect of the 4-APTD film on silver surface with an efficiency of 89.5%.     

Interaction between rhodanine and silver species on a nanocolloidal surface and in the solid state

This paper discusses and compares molecular interactions of rhodanine (Rd), the heterocyclic compound containing N, S, and O atoms, with two forms of silver species, i.e. Ag(I) ions and silver nanocolloidal particles. Vibrational spectroscopic and powder crystallography studies on coordination of Ag(I) ions in the solid state, supported by density functional theory, clearly indicate complexation through the nitrogen (the deprotonated imino group) and exocyclic sulfur atoms. Molecules of the complex are arranged in a one‐dimensional infinite polymeric chain structure that intertwines to give a helix motif. On the other hand, adsorption geometry of Rd on the silver surface was determined by using surface‐enhancement Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. Observed differences between the SERS and the normal Raman spectra of Rd suggest that Rd adsorbs on the silver species after the rearrangement of the keto‐thione form into the enol‐thiol tautomer in acidic and neutral solutions. This leads to adsorption on this silver species through the thiolate ion. On the other hand, the alkaline pH forces first N‐deprotonation of Rd, and, in consequence, the obtained anion of the keto‐thione form interacts with the silver surface as a result of the presence of lone pairs of nitrogen and sulfur atoms, similar to the case discussed for the solid state.

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering study of monolayers formed from mixtures of 4–mercaptobenzoic acid and various aromatic mercapto‐derivative bases

Monolayers formed from aromatic compounds have many potential applications, for example in construction of bioelectronic elements having high efficiency of electron transfer. In this paper, the composition of monolayers formed on silver surfaces from mixtures of 4‐mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) and four model (stable and easily available) aromatic thiols with strong base properties: 4,6‐diamino‐2‐mercaptopyrimidine (APY), 1H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol (HTR), 4‐methyl‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol (MTR) and 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole‐5‐thiol (ATR), were determined from surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements. Our investigations showed that among studied aromatic bases, APY is the most promising candidate for the formation of mixed monolayers with MBA. In the whole pH range studied (2–12.5), mixed MBA + APY monolayers with similar surface concentration of both components are formed during the adsorption from the 0.5 mM MBA + 0.5 mM APY aqueous solution. Desorption of MBA and APY from the mixed monolayer is, however, significantly different. During immersion in water, surface concentration of APY decreases significantly faster than MBA (a significant part of the adsorbed MBA molecules is present on the silver surface even after 2 h of soaking in water). Presence of chlorides, bovine serum albumin or laccase in the surrounding solution does not observably influence the structure of MBA + APY monolayers. The properties of monolayers formed from MBA and substituted triazoles were found to be significantly different than those of MBA + APY monolayers. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

pH‐dependent surface‐enhanced Raman scattering observation of sulfanilamide on the silver surface

Monolayers of sulfanilamide on metallic surface can serve as an ideal model for understanding the interaction mechanism between the metal and the sulfanilamide molecule. In the present paper, the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique was employed to obtain the SERS spectra of sulfanilamide monolayers formed on the silver surface under different pH values. Assignments of the spectra were carried out with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations (BLYP/6‐311G). It can be found that the adsorption function of sulfanilamide on the silver surface was influenced by the pH value. The fully protonated sulfanilamide molecule adsorbed on the silver surface through N¹³H₂ group and the benzene ring anchored in a relatively perpendicular manner leading to N⁷H₂ and S¹⁰O₂ groups near the surface, while the completely deprotonated sulfanilamide molecule attached on the silver surface via N⁷H₂ and the benzene ring was perpendicular to, and the N¹³H₂ and S¹⁰O₂ groups were far from the silver surface.

Intensity enhancement and spectral change in Raman scattering of mercaptobenzothiazole adsorbed on silver electrode

Mercaptobenzothiazole is adsorbed on silver electrodes in the form of ionized-thiol. Sudden changes in Raman intensity were observed in changing the concentration at 1×10⁻⁸ and 1×10⁻⁶ mol/l. The former change may be ascribed to the change in orientation of adsorbed molecule and the latter to the formation of multilayered film. The largest enhancement in Raman intensity is obtained for the species adsorbed in normal orientation. The addition of halide ion resulted in the conversion of the thiol species to the thione one. The conversion may be related to the effect of halide ion impeding anticorrosion action of mercaptobenzothiazole.     

Adsorption of 4,4′‐thiobisbenzenethiol on silver surfaces: surface‐enhanced Raman scattering study

Adsorption of 4,4′‐thiobisbenzenethiol (4,4′‐TBBT) on a colloidal silver surface and a roughened silver electrode surface was investigated by means of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for the first time, which indicates that 4,4′‐TBBT is chemisorbed on the colloidal silver surface as dithiolates by losing two H‐atoms of the S H bond, while as monothiolates on the roughened silver electrode. The different orientations of the molecules on both silver surfaces indicate the different adsorption behaviors of 4,4′‐TBBT in the two systems. It is inferred from the SERS signal that the two aromatic rings in 4,4′‐TBBT molecule are parallel to the colloidal silver surface as seen from the disappearance of ν_{C H} band (3054 cm⁻¹), which is a vibrational mode to be used to determine the orientation of a molecule on metals according to the surface selection rule, while on the roughened silver electrode surface they are tilted to the surface as seen from the enhanced signal of ν_{C H}. The orientation of the C‐S bond is tilted with respect to the silver surface in both cases as inferred from the strong enhancement of the ν_{C S}. SERS spectra of 4,4′‐TBBT on the roughened silver electrode with different applied potentials reveal that the enhancement of 4,4′‐TBBT on the roughened silver electrode surface may be related to the chemical mechanism (CM). More importantly, the adsorption of 4,4′‐TBBT on the silver electrode is expected to be useful to covalently adsorb metal nanoparticles through the free S H bond to form two‐ or three‐ dimensional nanostructures.

Adsorption of purpald SAMs on silver and gold electrodes: a Raman mapping study

The adsorption modes of 4‐amino‐3‐hydrazino‐5‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐trizole (purpald) self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed on SERS‐active silver and gold electrodes were comparatively studied using surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and the self‐assembling procedures were investigated by the Raman mapping technique. Purpald SAMs adopted a titled orientation with S, N2 atoms anchoring to the silver electrode and the  N7H₂ close to the surface, whereas purpald stood up on the gold electrode through S, N5 atoms and with  N8H₂ adjacent to the surface. The density functional theory (DFT) at the level of B3LYP was performed to help explain their different adsorption behaviors on the silver and gold electrodes.
