Surface-enhanced Raman scattering and surface-enhanced resonant Raman scattering studies of perylenetetracarboxylic derivatives on Ag-coated Sn spheres and Ag and Au Island films
- Univ. of Windsor, Ontario (Canada)
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface-enhanced resonant Raman scattering (SERRS) of perylene-tetracarboxylic dianhydride and diimide have been studied on three different SERS-active surfaces. SERS and SERRS spectra obtained on metal island films of Ag and Au, with well-defined plasmon resonances in the visible region of the spectrum, are compared with the surface-enhanced scattering obtained on Ag-coated Sn spheres. It is shown that the latter surface is SERS active in a wide spectral region encompassing that of the Ag and Au island films. A negative dependence for the SERRS intensity with the increase of surface coverage emerged from the experimental data. Molecular spectra obtained by SERRS at submonolayer surface coverage provided the required information for a definite vibrational interpretation of multiplets observed in the Raman spectra of thin solid films of both compounds.
