T. Ishioka et al., TIME-RESOLVED NEAR-INFRARED SURFACE-ENHANCED RAMAN-SCATTERING SPECTROSCOPY OF A SURFACE-CONFINED ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTION, Chemistry Letters, (8), 1998, pp. 771-772
A time-resolved surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) system was de
veloped using a step-scan near-infrared Fourier transform(FT) spectrom
eter. The developed system with a submillisecond time resolution was a
pplied to a surface-confined reaction of totally two-electron redox of
9,10-phenanthrenequinone(PQ). From the electrochemical and spectrosco
pic results, the standard electrochemical rate constant was calculated
to be 0.08 s(-1) for PQ adsorbed on a Au electrode.
