Determination of the Distance Dependence and Experimental Effects for Modified SERS Substrates Based on Self-Assembled Monolayers Formed Using Alkanethiols

Abstract

Modified SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering) substrates are based on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed from compounds such as alkanethiols. Chain lengths ranging from ethanethiol to octadecanethiol were used to investigate properties of modified SERS substrates. These properties include determining the magnitude of the SERS electromagnetic enhancement, developing a sensitivity factor for detecting aromatic compounds, and evaluating SERS substrates for performance characteristics such as stability and solvent effects. A SERS electromagnetic enhancement was determined to be 2.1 × 10 3 for detecting aromatic compounds. The effects of experimental conditions on the SERS detection process were addressed. SERS sensitivity was shown to be highly dependent upon a correlation between the SERS interfacial distance dependence and a hydrophobic effect exhibited by the alkyl chain of the thiol. The distance dependence was more significant than the hydrophobic effect for detecting aromatic compounds. For comparison to the electromagnetic enhancement, a SERS sensitivity factor was determined for detecting benzene in water and in organic solvents. Experimental stability issues, such as solvent and laser exposure, were shown to affect the sensitivity of modified SERS substrates. 1-Propanethiol exhibited the strongest sensitivity and stability under all solvent and experimental conditions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
