Abstract:4-Aminothiophenol (PATP) and 4-aminophenyl disulfide (APDS) in contact with silver will form HN-CH-S-Ag (PATP-Ag), and under the conditions of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), a coupling reaction will generate 4,4-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB). DMAB is strongly Raman-active, showing strong peaks at ν ≈ 1140, 1390, and 1432 cm, and is widely used in surface-plasmon-assisted catalysis. Using APDS, PATP, p-nitrothiophenol (PNTP), and p-nitrodiphenyl disulfide (NPDS) as probe molecules, Raman spectroscopy… Show more

“…29 Actually, the plasmon-assisted reaction selectivity was realized through the tuning of the light excitation wavelength, the distance between the reacting molecules and plasmon-active nanostructures, or the utilization of bimetallic heterostructures. 30,31 Generally, one extraordinary point should be taken into account in plasmon (photo)catalysis: the fact that the plasmon triggering of chemical transformation combines the photoinitiation with the heterogeneous process. 32 acts like photocatalyst molecules in solution, a number of additional processes occurring at the solid/liquid interface during the chemical transformation should be considered.…”

“…The realization of particular mechanisms depends on the formation of metal–molecular complexes and the related overlapping of molecular orbitals with the noble metal surface, energy distribution of plasmon-excited hot carriers, and many others related factors. − It could be expected that different plasmon-assistance mechanisms lead to the excitation of particular molecular bonds and the formation of different intermediates with subsequent selective chemical transformation .

Recently, the utilization of plasmon assistance was demonstrated to be a useful tool for promoting various chemical transformations. Plasmon triggering can enhance the reaction rate or change the reaction pathways, affecting in this way the selectivity of chemical transformation. The plasmon-assisted selectivity was previously achieved through variations in excitation wavelengths and plasmonic structures. The aim of this work was to prove that the optimal combination of light irradiation and the heterophase process could increase the reaction conversion and change the reaction chemoselectivity. We utilized various light illumination regimes (with different pulse frequencies and shapes) for the control of reaction conversion and selectivity in the plasmon-assisted transfer hydrogenation of two functional groups attached to the bimetallic (Au/Pt) grating surface: 4-ethynylphenylene and 4-nitrophenylene. It was demonstrated that the utilization of a suitable illumination regime allows us to increase the reaction rate and reach the kinetic control of plasmon-assisted transfer hydrogenation.
“…In the past decade, the development of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has provided an effective means to study single-molecule behavior. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Researchers in plasma chemistry have also applied the average enhancement effect of SERS to the theoretical analysis of hot particles with particle enhancement and particle coupling hotspots. Plasma excitation not only drives chemical reactions, but also cleaves specic chemical bonds using hot electrons as nanometer scissors.…”
The mechanism of dimerization of PEAN: the distance between molecules had the greatest influence on the auxiliary catalytic reaction. The reduction of the intermolecular distance effectively increased the efficiency of the coupling reaction.
