Abstract

Plasmon-mediated chemical reaction (PMCR) is a highly attractive field of research. Here we report in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) monitoring of plasmonic-mediated SS bond-forming reaction. The reaction is thought to be a self-coupling reaction proceeding by photoinduced aromatic SC bond arylation. Surprisingly, the SC arylation and SS coupling are found to be occurred on both partially oxidized silver and silver nanoparticles. The results demonstrated that silver oxide or hydroxide and small molecule donor sacrifice agent played a crucial role in the reaction. This work facilitates the in-situ manipulation and characterization of the active silver electrode interface in conjunction with electrochemistry, and also establishes a promising new guideline for surface plasmon resonance photocatalytic reactions on metal nanostructures with high efficiency.
