SERS observation of soft C–H vibrational mode of bifunctional alkanethiol molecules adsorbed at Au and Ag electrodes

Abstract: An unusually low frequency (near 2820 cm(-1)) C-H stretching band of methylene groups was detected using the SERS technique at the initial stage of formation of self-assembled monolayers on Au and Ag substrates from bifunctional alkanethiol molecules containing indole and phenol ring terminal groups. Based on the sensitivity of the band parameters to the nature of the substrate, potential and temperature, the observed band was attributed to the vibration of -CH(2) groups directly contacting the metal surface.

“…Previously we have identified an unusually low frequency (2820-2830 cm À1 ) methylene stretching band in SERS spectra of adsorbed bifunctional alkanethiols associated with direct contact of methylene groups with the metal surface. 40 Similar soft methylene stretching bands were detected in the infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) studies of various alkyl chains containing molecules adsorbed at metal surfaces. [54][55][56][57][58] In fact, the two bands associated with the surface-interactive CH 2 group were observed; softened band originating from the proximal to surface C-H group below 2850 cm À1 and stretching band of the distal C-H group, which projects away from the surface near 2890-2907 cm À1 .…”

“…The shoulder near 2830 cm À1 (À1.000 V) was previously assigned to the stretching vibration of C-H groups which contact the electrode surface. 40 Bands due to the QC-H stretching vibrations of the aromatic rings are visible at 3064 and 3060 cm À1 for spectra recorded at À0.600 and À1.000 V, respectively.…”

“…As a nondestructive sensitive tool for studying the metal adsorbate inter actions and the reactivity of adsorbed species surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is used since it can provide unique information about the structure and the orientation of the molecules adsorbed on the metal surface [24][25][26][27][28]. Specific applications of SERS have been described for studies of the orientation and configuration of adsorbed complex molecules on metal surfaces [29,30], self assembled monolayers [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], chemical analysis [41,42], biochemistry and biophysics [43][44][45][46] and single molecule detection [47][48][49].…”
