胞嘧啶核苷在纳米银膜上的NIR-SERS光谱检测

NIR-SERS Spectra Detection of Cytidine on Nano-Silver Films

采用一种高活性的纳米银膜作为表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)基底,以近红外激光(785nm)作为激发光源,对胞嘧啶核苷(胞苷)水溶液(10-2~10-8 mol·L-1)进行了近红外表面增强拉曼散射(NIR-SERS)光谱检测。实验结果表明,当胞苷水溶液浓度等于或低于10-7 mol·L-1时,可在300~2 000cm-1范围内获得信噪比较好的NIR-SERS光谱。将胞苷水溶液(10-2~10-5 mol·L-1)分别滴在10片不同的纳米银薄膜上进行检测,结果表明该纳米银膜体现出了较好的光谱重现性。通过对纳米银膜表面形貌进行表征发现聚乙烯醇(PVA)包覆的纳米银颗粒在铝片表面形成"草状"结构。并通过对吸附了胞苷分子的纳米银膜进行紫外-可见光反射光谱检测,发现在800nm处出现等离子共振峰。因此采用785nm的近红外激光作为激发光时,该体系能够体现出强烈的表面等离子共振(surface plasmon resonance,SPR)特性。同时采用DFTB3LYP/6-311G对胞苷分子进行了拉曼光谱计算,计算所采用入射光波长为785nm,通过计算结果与实验测得的胞苷固体的拉曼光谱对比发现在300~2 000cm-1范围内两者匹配得较好,进而对其振动进行了归属。最后通过比较胞苷的拉曼光谱和NIR-SERS光谱对胞苷分子在纳米银膜上的可能吸附方式进行了分析。分析结果表明胞苷分子主要为其核糖部分吸附纳米银颗粒上,同时该分子的17NH2基团可能靠近局域电磁场增强区域。

The polyvinyl alcohol（PVA）protected silver glass-like nanostructure（PVA-Ag-GNS）with high surface-enhanced Raman scattering（SERS）activity was prepared and employed to detect the near-infrared surface enhanced Raman scattering（NIR-SERS）spectra of cytidine aqueous solution（10-2~10-8 mol·L-1）.In the work,the near-infrared laser beam（785nm）was used as the excitation light source.The experiment results show that high-quality NIR-SERS spectra were obtained in the ranges of 300 to 2 000cm-1 and the detection limit of cytidine aqueous solution was down to 10-7 mol·L-1.Meanwhile,the PVA-Ag-GNS shows a high enhancement factor（EF）of^108.In order to test the optical reproducibility of PVA-Ag-GNS,ten samples of cytidine aqueous solution（10-2~10-5 mol·L-1）had been dropped onto the surface of PVA-Ag-GNS respectively.Meanwhile,these samples were measured by the portable Raman spectrometer.As a result,the PVA-Ag-GNS demonstrated good optical reproducibility in the detection of cytidine aqueous solution.In addition,to explain the reason of enhancement effect,the ultraviolet-visible（UV-Vis）extinction spectrum and scanning electron microscope（SEM）of cytidine molecules adsorbed on the surface of PVA-Ag-GNS were measured.There is plasmon resonance band at 800 nm in the UV-Vis extinction spectrum of the compound system.Therefore,when the near-infrared laser beam（785nm）was used as excitation light source,the compound system may produce strongly surface plasmon resonance（SPR）.According to the SEM of PVA-Ag-GNS,there are much interstitial between the silver nanoparticles.So NIR-SERS is mainly attributed to electromagnetic（EM）fields associated with strong surface plasmon resonance.At last,the geometry optimization and pre-Raman spectrum of cytidine for the ground states were performed with DFT,B3 LYP functional and the 6-311 Gbasis set,and the near-infrared laser with wavelength of 785 nm was employed in the pre-Raman spectrum calculation process.The calculation results without imaginary frequency and the results match pretty well with the experimental Raman spectrum.At the same time,the assignations of Raman bands and adsorption behaviors of cytidine molecules on the surface of PVA-Ag-GNS are also discussed.According to our experiment and calculations,cytidine molecules mainly adsorbed on silver nanoparticles via the ribose moiety and amino group may get close to the local electromagnetic field.
