The surface functionalization of silver nanoparticles (NPs) by Raman reporters has stimulated a wide interest in recent years for the design of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) labels. However, silver NPs...
A new approach of tuning SERS enhancement with the aid of coupling chemistry for trace detection. A greater number of Raman-active molecules are constrained in a dendronic framework as an improved SERS analyte.
