چکیده

Silver colloids of uniform shape and size are prepared by a two-step reduction. Small silver particles form initially by the rapid reduction of silver nitrate with sodium citrate at 100°C and then grow at 92°C. The reaction processes and resulting silver colloids are characterized by transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrophotometry, zeta-potential measurements, and Ag(+) concentration analysis. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity of the silver colloids is then investigated, using crystal violet (CV) as a SERS probe. The silver colloids exhibit uniform shape and size and stable SERS activity. The average size of the silver particles is 47 nm (14% relative standard deviation), while the average sizes of the silver colloids prepared at 100°C and 92°C are 41 (30%) and 71 nm (33%), respectively.

Raman Study of the Photochemistry of Maleic Acid Adsorbed on the Surface of Colloidal Silver

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of maleic (cis; 2-butaneoic acid) and fumaric (trans; 2-butaneoic acid) acids adsorbed on aqueous silver sol particles are reported. These two acids form two groups of isomers which differ only in the relative positions of the two carboxylate groups. The photochemistry of maleic and fumaric acids adsorbed on the surface of silver colloids...

Surface Enhanced Baman Scattering (sers) of Macromolecules on Colloidal Silver

The remarkable enhancement of Raman signals from molecules on roughened silver surfaces or on silver colloids has made it possible to obtain vibrational spectra with only monolayer and submonolayer coverage. This communication discusses the physical notions underlying this phenomenon and then surveys the as yet limited applications to macromolecules.

Raman, IR, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of papaverine An automated setup for in situ synthesis of the silver substrate and recording of the SER spectra

Raman, IR, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) were employed for the vibrational characterization of papaverine in the free and adsorbed state. The vibrational assignments were performed by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption of the molecule was concluded with the isoquinoline and the benzene ring close to the silver surface in tilted orientations. Emp...

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering from oleate-stabilized silver colloids at a liquid/liquid interface.

Oleate-stabilized silver colloids of 5-nm-diameter were adsorbed to a toluene/water interface, and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra from these colloids were measured under the total internal reflection (TIR) condition. From the observed spectra, we examined the states of oleate ions and toluene molecules on silver colloids at the liquid/liquid interfacial region. The TIR-SERS sp...
