Abstract
Raman spectroscopy has proved to be a valuable in situ technique for chemical speciation under conditions which are not amenable to the use of other diagnostic tools. S. P. S. PORTO recognized the potential of the method and completed pioneering work in this field by determining Raman cross sections and molecular symmetry for numerous molecules [1–4]. Until recently, however, spontaneous Raman spectroscopy was thought to lack sufficient sensitivity for chemical identification of monolayer adsorbates because of the smallness of the Raman cross sections under nonresonant conditions. Thus, the initial report of intense Raman scattering from pyridine adsorbed on Ag in an electrochemical cell [5] and the subsequent estimate [6,7] of the enhancement factor of 105 – 106 compared to pyridine in the electrolyte stimulated great excitement. Recent investigations on surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) have been aimed at determining the physical mechanisms responsible for SERS, as well as at establishing the generality of the effect and the extent to which it is limited by adsorbates, substrates, and the surrounding environment.
