초록

The conformational changes of cyclohexyl acetylene (CHAL) on gold nanoparticle surfaces were investigated by means of concentration- and temperature-dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Depending on concentrations and temperatures, the spectral changes of the acetylene nu(C C) stretching vibration on gold nanoparticles appeared to be more conspicuous than those of cyclohexyl ring modes. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation was performed at the level of B3LYP/6-31G++(d,p) to compare the energetic stability and vibrational frequencies of the various conformers of cyclohexanethiol (CHT) and CHAL The DFT calculations were also carried out at the level of B3LYP/LACVP** on the CHAL molecule adsorbed on Au clusters at several sites to explain the spectral changes of the acetylene nu(C C) stretching vibration.
