Abstract
Plasmon-induced chemical reactions (PICRs) have recently become promising approaches for highly efficient light-chemical energy conversion. However, an in-depth understanding of their mechanisms at the nanoscale still remains challenging. Here, we present an in-situ investigation by tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) imaging of the plasmon-induced [4+4]-cycloaddition polymerization within anthracene-based monomer monolayers physisorbed on Au(111), and complement the experimental results with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This two-dimensional (2D) polymerization can be flexibly triggered and manipulated by the hot carriers, and be monitored simultaneously by TERS in real time and space. TERS imaging provides direct evidence for covalent bond formation with ca. 3.7 nm spatial resolution under ambient conditions. Combined with DFT calculations, the TERS results demonstrate that the lateral polymerization on Au(111) occurs by a hot electron tunneling mechanism, and crosslinks form via a self-stimulating growth mechanism. We show that TERS is promising to be plasmon-induced nanolithography for organic 2D materials.

Abstract
![]()
In traditional Raman spectroscopy,
narrow-band light is irradiated
on a sample, and its inelastic scattering, i.e., Raman scattering,
is detected. The energy difference between the Raman scattering and
the incident light corresponds to the vibrational energy of the molecule,
providing the Raman spectrum that contains rich information about
the molecular-level properties of the materials. On the other hand,
by using ultrashort optical pulses, it is possible to induce Raman-active
coherent nuclear motion of the molecule and to observe the molecular
vibration in real time. Moreover, this time-domain Raman measurement
can be combined with femtosecond photoexcitation, triggering chemical
changes, which enables tracking ultrafast structural dynamics in a
form of “time-resolved” time-domain Raman spectroscopy,
also known as time-resolved impulsive stimulated Raman spectroscopy.
With the advent of stable, ultrashort laser pulse sources, time-resolved
impulsive stimulated Raman spectroscopy now realizes high sensitivity
and a wide detection frequency window from THz to 3000 cm–1, and has seen success in unveiling the molecular mechanisms underlying
the efficient functions of complex molecular systems. In this Perspective,
we overview the present status of time-domain Raman spectroscopy,
particularly focusing on its application to the study of femtosecond
structural dynamics. We first explain the principle and a brief history
of time-domain Raman spectroscopy and then describe the apparatus
and recent applications to the femtosecond dynamics of complex molecular
systems, including proteins, molecular assemblies, and functional
materials. We also discuss future directions for time-domain Raman
spectroscopy, which has reached a status allowing a wide range of
applications.

Abstract
Investigating how electrons propagate through a single molecule is one of the missions of molecular electronics. Electrons, however, are also efficient catalysts for conducting radical reactions, a property that is often overlooked by chemists. Special attention should be paid to electron catalysis when interpreting single-molecule conductance results for the simple reason that an unexpected reaction mediated or triggered by electrons might take place in the single-molecule junction. Here, we describe a counterintuitive structure-property relationship that molecules, both linear and cyclic, employing a saturated bipyridinium-ethane backbone, display a similar conductance signature when compared to junctions formed with molecules containing conjugated bipyridinium-ethene backbones. We describe an ethane-to-ethene transformation, which proceeds in the single-molecule junction by an electron-catalyzed dehydrogenation. Electrochemically based ensemble experiments and theoretical calculations have revealed that the electrons trigger the redox process, and the electric field promotes the dehydrogenation. This finding not only demonstrates the importance of electron catalysis when interpreting experimental results, but also charts a pathway to gaining more insight into the mechanism of electrocatalytic hydrogen production at the single-molecule level.

Abstract
Micro/nanomachines (MNMs) correspond to human-made devices with motion in aqueous solutions. There are different routes for powering these devices. Light-driven MNMs are gaining increasing attention as fuel-free devices. On the other hand, Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) and their photocatalytic activity have shown great potential for photochemistry reactions. Here we review several photocatalyst nanosystems, with a special emphasis in Plasmon induced photocatalytic reactions, as a novel proposal to be explored by the MNMs community in order to extend the light-driven motion of MNMs harnessing the visible and near-infrared (NIR) light spectrum.

Abstract
Plasmon assistance promotes a range of chemical transformations by decreasing their activation energies. In a common case, thermal and plasmon assistance work synergistically: higher temperature results in higher plasmon-enhanced catalysis efficiency. Herein, we report an unexpected tenfold increase in the reaction efficiency of surface plasmon-assisted Huisgen dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition (AAC) when the reaction mixture is cooled from room temperature to -35 °C. We attribute the observed increase in the reaction efficiency to complete plasmon-induced annihilation of the reaction barrier, prolongation of plasmon lifetime, and decreased relaxation of plasmon-excited-states under cooling. Furthermore, control quenching experiments supported by theoretical calculations indicate that plasmon-mediated substrate excitation to an electronic triplet state may play the key role in plasmon-assisted chemical transformation. Last but not least, we demonstrated the possible applicability of plasmon assistance to biological systems by AAC coupling of biotin to gold nanoparticles performed at -35 °C.

Abstract
Insightful understanding of the light driven CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) mechanism on gold nanoparticles is one of the important issues in the plasmon mediated photocatalytic study. Herein, time-dependent density functional theory and reduced two-state model are adopted to investigate the photoinduced charge transfer in interfaces. According to the excitation energy and orbital coupling, the light driven mechanism of CO2RR on gold nanoparticles can be described as follows: the light induces electron excitation and then transfers to the physisorbed CO2, and CO2 can relax to a bent structure adsorbed on gold nanoparticles, and the adsorbed C-O bonds are dissociated finally. Moreover, our calculated results demonstrate that the s, p, and d electron excitations of gold nanoparticles are the major contribution for the CO2 adsorption and the C-O dissociation process, respectively. This work would promote the understanding of the light driven electron transfer and photocatalytic CO2RR on the noble metal.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanomaterials coupled with catalytically active surfaces can provide unique opportunities for various catalysis applications, where surface plasmons produced upon proper light excitation can be adopted to drive and/or facilitate various chemical reactions. A brief introduction to the localized surface plasmon resonance and recent design and fabrication of highly efficient plasmonic nanostructures, including plasmonic metal nanostructures and metal/semiconductor heterostructures is given. Taking advantage of these plasmonic nanostructures, the following highlights summarize recent advances in plasmon-driven photochemical reactions (coupling reactions, O2 dissociation and oxidation reactions, H2 dissociation and hydrogenation reactions, N2 fixation and NH3 decomposition, and CO2 reduction) and plasmon-enhanced electrocatalytic reactions (hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, alcohol oxidation reaction, and CO2 reduction). Theoretical and experimental approaches for understanding the underlying mechanism of surface plasmon are discussed. A proper discussion and perspective of the remaining challenges and future opportunities for plasmonic nanomaterials and plasmon-related chemistry in the field of energy conversion and storage is given in conclusion.

Abstract
A leaf is a free-standing photocatalytic system that can effectively harvest solar energy and convert CO2 and H2O into carbohydrates in a continuous manner without the need for regeneration or tedious product extraction steps. Despite encouraging advances achieved in designing artificial photocatalysts, most of them function in bulk solution or on rigid surfaces. Here, we report on a 2D flexible photocatalytic system based on close packed Janus plasmene nanosheets. One side of the Janus nanosheets is hydrophilic with catalytically active palladium, while the opposite side is hydrophobic with plasmonic nanocrystals. Such a unique design ensures a stable nanostructure on a flexible polymer substrate, preventing dissolution/degradation of plasmonic photocatalysts during chemical conversion in aqueous solutions. Using catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol as a model reaction, we demonstrated efficient plasmon-enhanced photochemical conversion on our flexible Janus plasmene. The photocatalytic efficiency could be tuned by adjusting the palladium thickness or types of constituent building blocks or their orientations, indicating the potential for tailor-made catalyst design for desired reactions. Furthermore, the flexible Janus plasmene nanosheets were designed into a small 3D printed artificial tree, which could continuously convert 30 mL of chemicals in 45 minutes.

Abstract
Metallic flowers with nanoscale surface roughness can provide a platform for highly sensitive and reproductive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Here, we present a method to grow a nanostructured silver flower (NSF) at the apex of a plasmonic tip based on metal-mediated catalysis, where the NSF was rapidly generated in no more than 1 min. The NSF was used as the SERS substrate under linear polarization beam (LPB) excitation to achieve a 10-9 M detection sensitivity for the malachite green analyte. The reproducibility for SERS is examined to have been guaranteed by comparing Raman intensity enhanced by different NSFs. Compared with the LPB, the azimuthal vector beam (AVB) excitation can further improve the SERS activity of the NSF, which is consistent with the simulation result that the gap mode can be effectively generated between two adjacent Ag nanoparticles (NPs) and between the NPs and the Ag pyramids on the surface of the NSF under AVB illumination. This work makes it promising for plasmonic tip-mediated catalysis to be applied in nanofabrication, the products of which can be further exploited in nanostructure-based ultrasensitive detection.

Abstract
Boronic acids are the key compounds in Suzuki coupling reactions and in the detection of monosaccharides. The C-B bond cleavage deboronation is an important side reaction that lowers the Suzuki coupling reaction yield and even disables saccharide detection. Here, we report that protodeboronation occurs for 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) within narrow nanogaps between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and planar gold substrates. The irradiation of such nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPoM) systems at 785 nm drives the protodeboronation reaction to form benzenethiol (BT). Wavelength-dependence experiments, combined with dark-field single-particle scattering spectroscopy, reveal that excitation of the bonding dipole plasmon mode of the NPoM leads to the best efficiency. Among the excited plasmon decay pathways, the generation of hot charge carriers induces the protodeboronation of MPBA. The possibility of plasmonic thermal reactions is ruled out because external heating of the substrates does not cause the reaction to take place. A comparison of the reaction yield under ambient, Ar, and oxygen gas conditions reveals that hot charge carriers directly transfer to MPBA, which subsequently produces BT, but the presence of oxygen promotes the reaction by opening another hot-electron transfer channel. The protodeboronation reaction of MPBA is an important addition to the catalog of plasmon-driven chemical reactions, not only because the reaction is relevant to organic and analytical chemistry but also because it deepens our understanding of the hot carrier dynamics at the interface between plasmonic nanoparticles and molecules.

Abstract
Plasmonics has emerged as a promising methodology to promote chemical reactions and has become a field of intense research effort. Ag nanoparticles (NPs) as plasmonic catalysts have been extensively studied because of their remarkable optical properties. This review analyzes the emergence and development of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in organic chemistry, mainly focusing on the discovery of novel reactions with new mechanisms on Ag NPs. Initially, the basics of LSPR and LSPR-promoted photocatalytic mechanisms are illustrated. Then, the recent advances in plasmonic nanosilver-mediated photocatalysis in organic transformations are highlighted with an emphasis on the related reaction mechanisms. Finally, a proper perspective on the remaining challenges and future directions in the field of LSPR-promoted organic transformations is proposed.

Abstract
A surface plasmon can drive many photochemical reactions, in which effective charge separation and migration is a key. In analogy to the plasmon-semiconductor interface, the plasmon-molecule interface may also be used to improve the separation and migration of hot carriers. In this work, by using in situ Raman spectroscopy, molecular grafting on silver nanostructures is found essential for modulating the charge separation and p-aminothiophenol (PATP) oxidation reaction. When the LUMO of the grafted molecules match well the energy distribution of the plasmon-generated hot electrons, the PATP oxidation process accelerates significantly. Moreover, compared with symmetrical grafting, asymmetrical grafting is more effective in regulating the charge separation and plasmon-mediated chemical reaction. This work provides an effective strategy for deep understanding and fine modulation of plasmon-mediated photochemistry.

Abstract
Combining surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with the coherent nonlinear Raman technique is a promising route for achieving higher sensitivity and time-resolved SERS measurements, yet such attempts have just been started. Here, we report time-domain Raman measurements of trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (BPE) adsorbed on gold nanoparticle assemblies (GNAs), which were carried out with impulsive stimulated Raman spectroscopy using sub-8 fs pulses. We observe coherent nuclear wavepacket motion of BPE on GNAs with drastic enhancement through the surface plasmon resonance, which provides information on the Raman-active vibrations in the time domain. Through Fourier transform of the measured time-domain Raman data, we obtained SERS spectra of BPE on GNAs with enhancement factors as high as 105-106. The present study not only demonstrates applicability of time-domain nonlinear Raman techniques in SERS, i.e., surface-enhanced impulsive stimulated Raman spectroscopy (SE-ISRS), but also provides a technical basis for femtosecond time-resolved SE-ISRS experiments to track ultrafast dynamics of the adsorbates.

Abstract
Plasmon-assisted transformations of organic compounds represent a novel opportunity for conversion of light to chemical energy at room temperature. However, the mechanistic insights of interaction between plasmon energy and organic molecules is still under debate. Herein, we proposed a comprehensive study of the plasmon-assisted reaction mechanism using unsymmetric iodonium salts (ISs) as an organic probe. The experimental and theoretical analysis allow us to exclude the possible thermal effect or hot electron transfer. We found that plasmon interaction with unsymmetrical ISs led to the intramolecular excitation of electron followed by the regioselective cleavage of C-I bond with the formation of electron-rich radical species, which cannot be explained by the hot electron excitation or thermal effects. The high regioselectivity is explained by the direct excitation of electron to LUMO with the formation of a dissociative excited state according to quantum-chemical modeling, which provides novel opportunities for the fine control of reactivity using plasmon energy.

Abstract
Nitroxide-mediated polymerization is now a mature technique, at 35 years of age. During this time, several variants have been developed: enhanced spin capture polymerization (ESCP), photoNMP (NMP2), chemically initiated NMP (CI-NMP), spin label NMP (SL-NMP), and plasmon-initiated NMP (PI-NMP). This mini-review is devoted to the features and applications of these variants.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticle-based photocatalysts have gained a lot of interest in catalyzing oxidation-reduction reactions. In previous studies, the poor performance of these catalysts is partly due to their operation that relies on picosecond-lifetime hot carriers. In this work, electrons that accumulate at a photostationary state, generated by photocharging the catalysts, have a much longer lifetime for catalysis. This approach makes it possible to determine and tune the photoredox potentials of the catalysts. As demonstrated in a model reaction, the photostationary state of the photocatalyzed oxidative etching of colloidal gold nanoparticles using FeCl3 was established under continuous irradiation of different wavelengths. The photoredox potentials of the nanoparticles were then calculated using the Nernst equation. The potentials can be tuned to a range of 1.28 to 1.40 V (vs SHE) under irradiation of different wavelengths in the range of 450 to 517 nm. The effects of particle size or optical power on the photoredox potentials are small compared to the wavelength effect. Control over the photoredox potential of the particles using different excitation wavelengths can potentially be used to tune the activities and selectivities of metallic nanoparticle photocatalysts.

Abstract
Plasmon-assisted chemical transformation holds great potential for solar energy conversion. However, simultaneous enhancement of reactivity and selectivity is still challenging and the mechanism remains mysterious. Herein, we elucidate the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-induced principles underlying the enhanced activity (∼70%) and selectivity of photoelectrocatalytic redox of nitrobenzene (NB) on Au nanoparticles. Hot carriers selectively accelerate the conversion rate from NB to phenylhydroxylamine (PHA) by ∼14% but suppress the transformation rate from PHA to nitrosobenzene (NSB) by ∼13%. By adding an electron accepter, the as-observed suppression ratio is substantially enlarged up to 43%. Our experiments, supported by in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory simulations, reveal such particular hot-carrier-induced selectivity is conjointly contributed by the accelerated hot electron transfer and the corresponding residual hot holes. This work will help expand the applications of renewable sunlight in the directional production of value-added chemicals under mild conditions.

Abstract
We revisit the reductive coupling of p-nitrothiophenol (NTP) to form dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB), herein monitored through gap-mode tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and nanoimaging. We employ a plasmonic Au probe (100 nm diameter at its apex) illuminated with a 633 nm laser source (50 μW/μm2 at the sample position) to image an NTP-coated faceted silver nanoparticle (∼70 nm diameter). A detailed analysis of the recorded spectra reveals that anionic NTP species contribute to the recorded spectral images, in addition to the more thoroughly described DMAB product. Notably, the signatures of the anions are more pronounced than those of the DMAB product under our present experimental conditions. Our results thus demonstrate that anions and their spectral signatures must be considered in the analysis of plasmon-enhanced optical spectra and images.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles exhibit excellent light-harvesting properties in the visible spectral range, which makes them a convenient material for the conversion of light into useful chemical fuel. However, the need for using surface ligands to ensure colloidal stability of nanoparticles inhibits their photochemical performance due to the insulating molecular shell hindering the carrier transport. We show that cellulose fibers, abundant in chemical functional groups, can serve as a robust substrate for the immobilization of gold nanorods, thus also providing a facile way to remove the surfactant molecules. The resulting functional composite was implemented in a bioinspired photocatalytic process involving dehydrogenation of sodium formate and simultaneous photoregeneration of cofactor molecules (NADH, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) using visible light as an energy source. By systematic screening of experimental parameters, we compare photocatalytic and thermocatalytic properties of the composite and evaluate the role of palladium cocatalyst.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) study carried on thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD), a pharmacologically active heterocyclic compound, points to the presence of TZD dimer formed by plasmon-induced dimerization reaction of TZD on the surface of silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) at TZD concentrations of 10-3 M and above. The evidence for the presence of dimer was obtained from the appearance of a prominent band at 1566 cm-1 corresponding to the ν(C═C) band (a characteristic vibrational band observed for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction products) which is absent in the normal Raman scattering (NRS) spectra of TZD solid/solution. The observed spectrum compares well with the calculated spectrum of dimer obtained using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The dimerization reaction is plausibly induced by the transfer of hot electrons generated by the nonradiative plasmon decay of Ag NP, and the proposed reaction mechanism is discussed. However, at lower concentrations (10-4-10-6 M), the characteristic dimer peak (1566 cm-1) is absent and the SERS spectra resemble more the NRS spectrum of TZD with a few changes. The spectral analysis supported by DFT calculations showed that TZD molecules undergo deprotonation and get adsorbed on the Ag NP surface as enolate forms. The proximity of TZD molecules on the surface of Ag NP is a necessary factor for the dimerization to occur. At lower concentrations, most molecules lie apart and reactions between molecules become less feasible, and they remain as monomers on the surface, while at higher concentrations the molecules are closer to each other on the Ag NP surface favoring the dimerization reaction to take place, leading to the formation of the dimer.

Abstract
Localised surface plasmon (LSP) resonance has attracted considerable attention in recent years as an efficient driving force for chemical reactions. The chemical reactions induced by LSP are classified into two types, namely, redox reactions based on plasmon-induced charge separation (PICS) and chemical reactions induced by the direct interaction between LSP and molecules (plasmon-induced chemical reactions). Although both types of reactions have been extensively studied, the mechanisms of PICS and plasmon-induced chemical reactions remain unexplained and controversial because conventional macroscopic methods can hardly grasp the local chemical reactions induced by LSP. In order to obtain mechanistic insights, nanoscale observations and investigations are necessary. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a powerful experimental tool to investigate not only the surface morphology but also the physical and chemical properties of samples at a high spatial resolution. In this perspective review, we first explain SPM combined with optical excitation, and then, review the recent studies using SPM techniques for real-space observations of the chemical reactions induced by LSP.

Abstract
As a new class of photocatalysts, plasmonic noble metal nanoparticles with the unique ability to harvest solar energy across the entire visible spectrum and produce effective energy conversion have been explored as a promising pathway for the energy crisis. The resonant excitation of surface plasmon resonance allows the nanoparticles to collect the energy of photons to form a highly enhanced electromagnetic field, and the energy stored in the plasmonic field can induce hot carriers in the metal. The hot electron-hole pairs ultimately dissipate by coupling to phonon modes of the metal nanoparticles, resulting in a higher lattice temperature. The plasmonic electromagnetic field, hot electrons, and heat can catalyze chemical reactions of reactants near the surface of the plasmonic metal nanoparticles. This Account summarizes recent theoretical and experimental advances on the excitation mechanisms and energy transfer pathways in the plasmonic catalysis on molecules. Especially, current advances on plasmon-driven crystal growth and transformation of nanomaterials are introduced. The efficiency of the chemical reaction can be dramatically increased by the plasmonic electromagnetic field because of its higher density of photons. Similar to traditional photocatalysis, energy overlap between the plasmonic field and the HOMO-LUMO gap of the reactant is needed to realize resonant energy transfer. For hot-carrier-driven catalysis, hot electrons generated by plasmon decay can be transferred to the reactant through the indirect electron transfer or direct electron excitation process. For this mechanism, the energy of hot electrons needs to overlap with the unoccupied orbitals of the reactant, and the particular chemical channel can be selectively enhanced by controlling the energy distribution of hot electrons. In addition, the local thermal effect following plasmon decay offers an opportunity to facilitate chemical reactions at room temperature. Importantly, surface plasmons can not only catalyze chemical reactions of molecules but also induce crystal growth and transformation of nanomaterials. As a new development in plasmonic catalysis, plasmon-driven crystal transformation reveals a more powerful aspect of the catalysis effect, which opens the new field of plasmonic catalysis. We believe that this Account will promote clear understanding of plasmonic catalysis on both molecules and materials and contribute to the design of highly tunable catalytic systems to realize crystal transformations that are essential to achieve efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

Abstract
The cause for the huge enhancement factors of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) by the addition of small silver nanoclusters is theoretically investigated by focusing on the difference between resonance Raman activity and surface plasmon effects. First, the resonance and off-resonance Raman spectra are calculated using the incident light wavenumbers of the low-lying charge transfer excitations for the surface (S) and vertex (V) complexes of the pyridine molecule attaching to three small silver nanoclusters: Ag5, Ag10, and Ag20. As a result, it is found that the incident radiation dramatically increases the resonance Raman activities with the enhancement factors up to 1012. This indicates that the resonance Raman effects are dominant in the enhancement factors of SERS, at least when to use small silver clusters. It is also found that the resonance Raman spectra significantly depend on the adsorption sites given in S or V complexes, and on the inclusion or exclusion of the long-range correction for density functional theory, irrespective of the size of the silver clusters. The electromagnetic field enhancement effects called "surface plasmon effects" are also examined for the Ag20 cluster to confirm this conclusion. Consequently, the enhancement in the electric field is roughly evaluated as less than one for the static polarizability of this small cluster. It is, therefore, concluded that the resonance Raman activity effect is dominant in the huge SERS enhancement factors for, at least, small silver nanoclusters.

Abstract
The potential of strong interactions between light and matter remains to be further explored within a chemical context. Towards this end herein we study the electromagnetic interaction between molecules and plasmonic nanocavities. By means of electronic structure calculations, we show that self-induced catalysis emerges without any external stimuli through the interaction of the molecular permanent and fluctuating dipole moments with the plasmonic cavity modes. We also exploit this scheme to modify the transition temperature T1/2 of spin-crossover complexes as an example of how strong light-matter interactions can ultimately be used to control a materials responses.

Abstract
Hot-electron-induced reactions are more and more recognized as a critical and ubiquitous reaction in heterogeneous catalysis. However, the kinetics of these reactions is still poorly understood, which is also due to the complexity of plasmonic nanostructures. We determined the reaction rates of the hot-electron-mediated reaction of 4-nitrothiophenol (NTP) on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using fractal kinetics as a function of the laser wavelength and compared them with the plasmonic enhancement of the system. The reaction rates can be only partially explained by the plasmonic response of the NPs. Hence, synchrotron X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements of isolated NTP-capped AuNP clusters have been performed for the first time. In this way, it was possible to determine the work function and the accessible valence band states of the NP systems. The results show that besides the plasmonic enhancement, the reaction rates are strongly influenced by the local density of the available electronic states of the system.
