Electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of the cruciform system 1,4-bis((E)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl)naphthalene (bpyvn) was recorded on nanostructured silver surfaces at different electrode potentials by using excitation laser lines of 785 and 514.5 nm. SERS relative intensities were analyzed on the basis of the resonance Raman vibronic theory with the help of DFT calculations. The comparison between the experimental and the computed resonance Raman spectra calculated for the first five electronic states of the Ag2-bpyvn surface complex model points out that the selective enhancement of the SERS band recorded at about 1600 cm−1, under 785 nm excitation, is due to a resonant Raman process involving a photoexcited metal-to-molecule charge transfer state of the complex, while the enhancement of the 1570 cm−1 band using 514.5 nm excitation is due to an intramolecular π→π* electronic transition localized in the naphthalenyl framework, resulting in a case of surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectrum (SERRS). Thus, the enhancement of the SERS bands of bpyvn is controlled by a general chemical enhancement mechanism in which different resonance processes of the overall electronic structure of the metal-molecule system are involved.

In this study, ZrO2 and Zn–ZrO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with a series of Zn ion doping amounts were synthesized by the sol-gel process and utilized as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). After absorbing the probing molecule 4–mercaptobenzoic acid, the SERS signal intensities of Zn–ZrO2 NPs were all greater than that of the pure ZrO2. The 1% Zn doping concentration ZrO2 NPs exhibited the highest SERS enhancement, with an enhancement factor (EF) value of up to 104. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Ultraviolet (UV) photoelectron spectrometer, UV–vis spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the properties of Zn–ZrO2 NPs and explore the mechanisms behind the SERS phenomenon. The charge transfer (CT) process is considered to be responsible for the SERS performance of 4–MBA adsorbed on Zn–ZrO2. The results of this study demonstrate that an appropriate doping ratio of Zn ions can promote the charge transfer process between ZrO2 NPs and probe molecules and significantly improve the SERS properties of ZrO2 substrates.
