RESUMO

Plasmon-mediated chemical reactions (PMCR) have garnered growing interest as a promising concept for photocatalysis. However, in electrochemical systems at solid-liquid interfaces, the photo-induced charge transfer on the surface of metal-semiconductor heterostructures involves complex processes and mechanisms, which are still poorly understood. We explore the plasmon-mediated carrier transfer mechanism and the synergistic effect of light and electric fields on Ag-TiO2 heterostructures, through a combination of electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical methods, with para-aminothiophenol (PATP) serving as a probe molecule. The results show that photocurrent responses are dependent on not only excitation wavelengths and applied potentials, but also the irreversibility of redox. The relationship between photocurrent responses and the chemical transformation between PATP and 4,4'-dimercaptoazobenzene is established, reflecting the photo-induced charge transfer of the heterostructures. The collaboration of spectroscopic and photoelectrochemical methods provide valuable insights into the chemical transformation and kinetic information of adsorbed molecules on the heterostructure during PMCR, offering opportunities for modulating of photocatalytic activities of hot carriers.

RESUMO

The investigation of the structural characteristics of chiral drugs in physiological environments is a challenging research topic, which may lead to a better understanding of how the drugs work. Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations was exploited to inspect the structural changes in penicillamine under different acid-base states in aqueous solutions. The B3LYP/aug-cc-PVDZ method was employed and the implicit solvation model density (SMD) was considered for describing the solvation effect in H2O. The conformations of penicillamine varied with pH, but penicillamine was liable to stabilize in the form of the PC conformation (the sulfur atom is in a trans orientation with respect to carboxylate) in most cases for both D- and L-isomers. The relationship between the conformations of penicillamine and the ROA peaks, as well as peak assignments, were comprehensively studied and elucidated. In the fingerprint region, two ROA couplets and one ROA triplet with different patterns were recognized. The intensity, sign and frequency of the corresponding peaks also changed with varying pH. Deuteration was carried out to identify the vibrational modes, and the ROA peaks of the deuterated amino group in particular are sensitive to change in the ambient environment. The results are expected not only to serve as a reference for the interpretation of the ROA spectra of penicillamine and other chiral drugs with analogous structures but also to evaluate the structural changes of chiral molecules in physiological environments, which will form the basis of further exploration of the effects of structural characteristics on the pharmacological and toxicological properties of chiral drugs.
