We interrogate para-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) molecules chemisorbed onto plasmonic silver nanocubes through tip-enhanced Raman (TER) spectral nano-imaging. Through a detailed examination of the spectra, aided by correlation analysis and density functional theory calculations, we find that MBA chemisorbs onto the plasmonic particles with at least two distinct configurations: S- and CO2-bound. High spatial resolution TER mapping allows us to distinguish between the distinct adsorption geometries with a pixel-limited (< 5 nm) spatial resolution under ambient laboratory conditions.
