Abstract
Plasmon-driven reactions on plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) occur under significantly different conditions from those of classical organic synthesis and provide a promising pathway for enhancing the efficiency of various chemical processes. However, these reactions can also have undesirable effects, such as 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) deboronation. MPBA chemisorbs well to Ag NPs through its thiol group and can subsequently bind to diols, enabling the detection of various biological structures by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), but not upon its deboronation. To avoid this reaction, we investigated the experimental conditions of MPBA deboronation on Ag NPs by SERS. Our results showed that the level of deboronation strongly depends on both the morphology of the system and the excitation laser wavelength and power. In addition, we detected not only the expected products, namely thiophenol and biphenyl-4,4-dithiol, but also 4-nitrothiophenol (NTP). The crucial reagent for NTP formation was an oxidation product of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, the reduction agent used in Ag NP synthesis. Ultimately, this reaction was replicated by adding NaNO2 to the system, and its progress was monitored as a function of the laser power, thereby identifying a new reaction of plasmon-driven -B(OH)2 substitution for -NO2.

Abstract
Glucose detection is of vital importance to diabetes diagnosis and treatment. Optical approaches in glucose sensing have received much attention in recent years due to the relatively low cost, portable, and mini-invasive or non-invasive potentials. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) endows the benefits of extremely high sensitivity because of enhanced signals and specificity due to the fingerprint of molecules of interest. However, the direct detection of glucose through SERS was challenging because of poor adsorption of glucose on bare metals and low cross section of glucose. In order to address these challenges, several approaches were proposed and utilized for glucose detection through SERS. This review article mainly focuses on the development of surface enhanced Raman scattering based glucose sensors in recent 10 years. The sensing mechanisms, rational design and sensing properties to glucose are reviewed. Two strategies are summarized as intrinsic sensing and extrinsic sensing. Four general categories for glucose sensing through SERS are discussed including SERS active platform, partition layer functionalized surface, boronic acid based sensors, and enzymatic reaction based biosensors. Finally, the challenges and outlook for SERS based glucose sensors are also presented.

[PMID: 31163635 PMCID: PMC6600739 DOI: 10.3390/ma12111802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2019] [Revised: 05/24/2019] [Accepted: 05/31/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
The difference in gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) aggregation caused by different mixing orders of AuNPs, 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been scarcely reported. We have found that the color change of a ((4-MPBA + AuNPs) + H2O2) mixture caused by H2O2 is more sensitive than that of a ((4-MPBA + H2O2) + AuNPs) mixture. For the former mixture, the color changes obviously with H2O2 concentrations in the range of 0~0.025%. However, for the latter mixture, the corresponding H2O2 concentration is in the range of 0~1.93%. The mechanisms on the color change originating from the aggregation of AuNPs occurring in the two mixtures were investigated in detail. For the ((4-MPBA + H2O2) + AuNPs) mixture, free 4-MPBA is oxidized by H2O2 to form bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) disulfide (BHPD) and peroxoboric acid. However, for the ((4-MPBA+AuNPs) + H2O2) mixture, immobilized 4-MPBA is oxidized by H2O2 to form 4-hydroxythiophenol (4-HTP) and boric acid. The decrease in charge on the surface of AuNPs caused by BHPD, which has alarger steric hindrance, is poorer than that caused by -4-HTP, and this is mainly responsible for the difference in the aggregation of AuNPs in the two mixtures. The formation of boric acid and peroxoboric acid in the reaction between 4-MPBA and H2O2 can alter the pH of the medium, and the effect of the pH change on the aggregation of AuNPs should not be ignored. These findings not only offer a new strategy in colorimetric assays to expand the detection range of hydrogen peroxide concentrations but also assist in deepening the understanding of the aggregation of citrate-capped AuNPs involved in 4-MPBA and H2O2, as well as in developing other probes.

Abstract
Herein we utilized coordination interactions to prepare a novel core-shell plasmonic nanosensor for the detection of glucose. Specifically, Au nanoparticles (NPs) were strongly linked with Ag+ ions to form a sacrificial Ag shell by using 4-aminothiophenol (4-PATP) as a mediator, which served as an internal standard to decrease the influence of the surrounding on the detection. The resultant Au-PATP-Ag core-shell systems were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) techniques. Experiments performed with R6G (rhodamine 6G) and CV (crystal violet) as Raman reporters demonstrated that the Au@Ag nanostructure amplified SERS signals obviously. Subsequently, the Au@Ag NPs were decorated with 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) to specifically recognize glucose by esterification, and a detection limit as low as 10−4 M was achieved. Notably, an enhanced linearity for the quantitative detection of glucose (R2 = 0.995) was obtained after the normalization of the spectral peaks using 4-PATP as the internal standard. Finally, the practical applicability of the developed sensing platform was demonstrated by the detection of glucose in urine with acceptable specificity.
