“…Each shows a medium to low intensity band of coordinated tpy groups: (i) ring-stretching modes at 1610 to 1600 cm À1 , 1570 cm À1 and 1535 to 1548 cm À1 , (ii) in plane deformation mode at 1288 cm À1 , and (iii) asymmetric ring breathing mode at about 1025 cm À1 . 38,39 However, the strongest bands in these spectra are bands of thiophene-2,5-diyl units, 33,[40][41][42][43] which appeared at 1484, 1450 and 1405 cm À1 for P Zn M-type dynamers, and at 1484, 1457 and 1411 to 1417 cm À1 for P Zn B-type dynamers. Different end-capping of hexyl-groups has very little impact on the spectral pattern.…”
New building units (unimers) for metallo-supramolecular polymers 2,5-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-4'-yl)thiophene, M, and 5,5'-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-4'-yl)(2,2'-bithiophene), B, with ionic groups attached to thiophene rings are prepared by the modification of corresponding bromo-precursors and assembled with Zn(2+) and Fe(2+) ions into alcohol-soluble conjugated constitutional-dynamic polyelectrolytes (polyelectrolyte dynamers). Ionization of side groups only slightly affects the absorption spectra of unimers as well as dynamers but dramatically changes their solubility. Cyclic conformations of unimer molecules resulting from intramolecular interactions between tpy end-groups and cationic or polar (-CH2Br) side groups are proposed to explain the spectral conformity of the M- and B-type unimers and their dynamers and also inhibition of the ionization reaction with tpy end-groups. The absorption spectra and excitation profiles of Raman spectra show that mainly the red arm of the metal-to-ligand charge transfer band of Fe-dynamers is significantly contributed with transitions involving thiophene rings. The constitutional dynamics of Zn-dynamers is fast while that of Fe-dynamers is so slow that it allows effective separation of the dynamer to fractions in SEC columns. Electronic spectra and viscosity measurements proved that excess of Fe(2+) ions results in shortening of the dynamer chains and their end-capping by these ions.

“…The concentration of the ACN in the sol was kept constant so that the intensity of the ACN bands, particularly of the intense 921 cm −1 band, could be used for normalization of the SERS bands of the 2-BP molecule. It is established that ACN bands do not show any surface enhancement in silver hydrosol [25][26][27][28] and so any possible interaction of the ACN with silver colloid can be neglected. The normal Raman spectra of ACN in water and also in silver hydrosol without 2-BP have been recorded.…”

Section: Concentration-dependent Sers Spectra Of Isomeric Bpsmentioning
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of 3-and 4-benzoylpyridine (BP) adsorbed on silver hydrosols were compared with the FTIR and normal Raman spectra in bulk and in solution. With a small fractional change in adsorbate concentration, the SER spectra of isomeric BPs show significant changes in their features, indicating different orientational changes of the different parts of the flexible molecule on the colloidal silver surface with adsorbate concentration. The appearance of a broad, long-wavelength band in the absorption spectra of the silver sol due to solute-induced coagulation of colloidal silver particles is found to be red shifted with increase in adsorbate concentration. The SER excitation profiles indicate that the resonance of the Raman excitation radiation with the new aggregation band contributes more to the SERS intensity than that with the original sol band.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
