Turning on Resonant SERRS Using the Chromophore−Plasmon Coupling Created by Host−Guest Complexation at a Plasmonic Nanoarray
摘要:
An active molecular plasmonics system is demonstrated where a supramolecular chromophore generated in a host guest binding event couples with the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) arising from gold nanodisc gratings. This coupling was achieved by wavelength-matching the chromophore and the LSPR with the laser excitation, thus giving rise to surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS). The chromophore is a broad charge-transfer (CT) band centered at 865 nm (epsilon = 3500 M-1 cm(-1)) generated by the complexation of cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT(4+)) and the guest molecule tetrathiafulvalene (TTF). The substrates consist of sub-1-mu m gold nanodisc arrays which display dimension-tunable plasmon wavelengths (600-1000 nm). The vibrational spectra of the complex arising from SERRS (lambda(exc) = 785 nm) were generated by irradiating an array (lambda(LSPR) = 765 nm) through the solution to give a chromophore-specific signature with the intensities surface enhanced by similar to 10(5). Surface adsorption of the empty and complexed CBPQT(4+) is also implicated in bringing the chromophore into the electric field arising from the surface-localized plasmon. In a titration experiment, the SERRS effect was then used to verify the role of resonance in turning on the spectrum and to accurately quantify the binding between surface-adsorbed CBPQT(4+) and TTF. The use of a nonpatterned gold substrate as well as a color mismatched complex did not show the enhancement, thus validating that spectral overlap between the chromophore and plasmon resonance is key for resonance surface enhancement. Simulations of the electric fields of the arrays are consistent with interdisc plasmon coupling and the observed enhancement factors. The creation of a responsive plasmonic device upon the addition of the guest molecule and the subsequent coupling of the CT chromophore to the plasmon presents favorable opportunities for applications in molecular sensing and active molecular plasmonics.
Encapsulation and Stabilization of a Donor–Acceptor Stenhouse Adduct Isomer in Water Inside the Blue Box: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Approach
adducts (DASAs), a new type of photochromic molecules showing dual color in two different isomeric forms in solution phase, using Meldrumacid (DASA-Mel) and barbituric acid (DASA-Bar), along with a naphthalimide derivative to obtain interesting fluorescence properties. DASA-Mel was found to have fast photochromic conversion in comparison to DASA-Bar, evident from ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) and fluorescence

The self‐assembly in aqueous solution of the well‐known cyclophane, cyclobis(paraquat‐p‐phenylene) (BB4+), and two cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) hosts around a simple hydroquinol‐based, diamine guest (GH22+) was investigated by 1H NMR and electronic absorption spectroscopies, electrospray mass spectrometry and DFT computations. The formation of a quaternary supramolecular assembly [GH22+⋅BB4+⋅ (CB7)2] was

A bistable [2]pseudorotaxane 1⊂CBPQT·4PF6 and a bistable [2]rotaxane 2·4PF6 have been synthesised to measure the height of an electrostatic barrier produced by double molecular oxidation (0 to +2). Both systems have monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalene (MPTTF) and oxyphenylene (OP) as stations for cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT4+). They have a large stopper at one end while the second stopper in 24+
essential for the development of molecular nanotechnology. The advent of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) has enhanced significantly the opportunities for chemists to harness such motions in artificial molecular machines (AMMs). Recently, we have developed artificial molecular pumps (AMPs) capable of producing highly energetic oligo- and polyrotaxanes with high precision. Here, we report the design
Linear tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) oligomers were synthesized, which could not only form pleated TTF radical cation foldamer under oxidation condition, but also interlocked with CBPQT4+ to form folded donor-acceptor [3]pseudorotaxane in the netrual state of TTF. Moreover, switchable transformation between these two folded supramolecular structures was achieved under the alternative regulation of the redox
