Surface-enhanced Raman spectra of pyridine on copper and gold electrodesin the near-infrared were obtained with a Fourier transform Ramanspectrometer. Surface-enhanced Raman spectra were observed forpyridine adsorbed on copper and gold electrodes while a Nd:YAG laser(1.064 ..mu..m) was used for excitation. Good-quality spectra were recordedfor 0.08 mM pyridine on a copper electrode with a single oxidation-reductioncycle, whereas for a gold electrode, several ORCs were necessary.A very intense low-energy Raman band was observed on bothmetals at positive potentials, which may be due to a metal-oxidevibrational mode.
