Abstract

Although Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a widespread technique with applications in several fields, the SERS effect is still not thoroughly understood due to the challenge in describing how the interaction between the analyte and the metallic surface contributes to the Raman signal enhancement. One approach to distinguish the charge transfer contribution from the metal to the molecule is the comparison of the coordination complex resonance Raman spectral features with the SERS spectra of the surface complex excited at different wavelengths. Herein, we investigated the molecule 5-nitroisatin, Nisa, its complex with a silver cation, Ag(Nisa), its anionic form, Nisa, and the adsorbed species over Ag colloid, Nisa/AgNP, by resonance Raman and SERS, respectively. The data show that the resonance Raman spectrum of the coordination complex Ag(Nisa) is comparable to the SERS spectrum obtained out of resonance condition. However, when the SERS spectra of Nisa/AgNP at resonance condition is obtained, quite distinct chromophores are observed. The SERS enhancement profile suggests a charge transfer from the metal to molecule in the green region of the visible spectrum and evidences the higher complexity of the electronic transitions that take place within the surface complex. To support the experimental data, DFT and TDDFT calculations were performed for Nisa, Ag(Nisa), Nisa and Nisa@Ag20 cluster. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (AU)
