We have measured surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) spectra of rhodamine 6G (R6G) at concentrations as low as 8 × 10−16 M in colloidal silver solution activated by NaCl ions. The spectra were measured with a fiber-optic probe using the 514.5-nm argon-ion laser line as excitation source and a charge-coupled-device (CCD) detection system. The correlation of SERRS photo counts and R6G concentration was found to be linear between 8 × 10−11 and 8 × 10−14 M concentrations within our experimental accuracy. Experiments conducted with small scattering volumes show that fewer than 100 R6G molecules are sufficient to give rise to a SERRS spectrum with reasonable signal-to-noise ratio. These results demonstrate that in certain cases SERRS can achieve detection limits comparable to those for fluorescence spectroscopy, and at the same time provides higher structural specificity than fluorescence. The possibilities of using SERRS for single molecule detection are discussed.

We contrast recently reported surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectra (SERRS) of myoglobin on silver nanoparticles with established knowledge about this complex.

In our SERRS spectra, the peaks at 1510 cm−1, which are assigned not to the non-native 5-coordinated heme in the high spin state, but to the native 6-coordinated heme in the low spin state (6cLS), were observed.

The SERRS intensity ratio of the peak at 1560 cm−1to that at 1620 cm−1was applied to detect the spin states of heme in metmyoglobin sensitively.
