This article reports on a project that obtained the high-quality Raman spectra of 4-mercaptopyridine (4-Mpy) adsorbed on CdS microclusters. 

Abstract

The Raman signals were enhanced relative to the same molecules in solution. The authors compared the Raman spectra of 4-Mpy molecules adsorbed on CdS microclusters and Ag substrate. The difference of 4-Mpy molecules adsorbed on semiconductor and metal substrate was revealed. The results demonstrated that adsorbed species on semiconductor CdS can be detected by SERS spectroscopy.
