Abstract:Abstract. In this study, we experimentally investigated the substituent effect on benzoic acid where the mercapto group was located in different positions, namely as 2-mercaptobenzoic acid (2-MBA), 3-mercaptobenzoic acid (3-MBA) and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA). The substituent effect was found to have an influence on the surface plasmon-catalysed reaction on the surface of the Ag4 atoms in the reaction of MBA with silver sol. In addition to the direct evidence from the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SER… Show more
