Abstract
Research on chiral behaviors of small organic molecules at solid surfaces, including chiral assembly and synthesis, can not only help unravel the origin of the chiral phenomenon in biological/chemical systems but also provide promising strategies to build up unprecedented chiral surfaces or nanoarchitectures with advanced applications in novel nanomaterials/nanodevices. Understanding how molecular chirality is recognized is considered to be a mandatory basis for such studies. In this review, a series of recent studies in chiral assembly and synthesis at well-defined metal surfaces under ultra-high vacuum conditions are outlined. More importantly, the intrinsic mechanisms of chiral recognition are highlighted, including short/long-range chiral recognition in chiral assembly and two main strategies to steer the reaction pathways and modulate selective synthesis of specific chiral products on surfaces.

Abstract
The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was a huge disaster to human society. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which led to COVID-19, has resulted in a large number of deaths. Even though the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the most efficient method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the disadvantages (such as long detection time, professional operators, expensive instruments, and laboratory equipment) limit its application. In this review, the different kinds of nano-biosensors based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), field-effect transistor (FET), fluorescence methods, and electrochemical methods are summarized, starting with a concise description of their sensing mechanism. The different bioprobes (such as ACE2, S protein-antibody, IgG antibody, IgM antibody, and SARS-CoV-2 DNA probes) with different bio-principles are introduced. The key structural components of the biosensors are briefly introduced to give readers an understanding of the principles behind the testing methods. In particular, SARS-CoV-2-related RNA mutation detection and its challenges are also briefly described. We hope that this review will encourage readers with different research backgrounds to design SARS-CoV-2 nano-biosensors with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Despite intensive research in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), the influence mechanism of chemical effects on Raman signals remains elusive. Here, we investigate such chemical effects through tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) of a single planar ZnPc molecule with varying but controlled contact environments. TERS signals are found dramatically enhanced upon making a tip-molecule point contact. A combined physico-chemical mechanism is proposed to explain such an enhancement via the generation of a ground-state charge-transfer induced vertical Raman polarizability that is further enhanced by the strong vertical plasmonic field in the nanocavity. In contrast, TERS signals from ZnPc chemisorbed flatly on substrates are found strongly quenched, which is rationalized by the Raman polarizability screening effect induced by interfacial dynamic charge transfer. Our results provide deep insights into the understanding of the chemical effects in TERS/SERS enhancement and quenching.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) have opened a variety of exciting research fields. However, although a vast number of applications have been proposed since the two techniques were first reported, none has been applied to real practical use. This calls for an update in the recent fundamental and application studies of SERS and TERS. Thus, the goals and scope of this review are to report new directions and perspectives of SERS and TERS, mainly from the viewpoint of combining their mechanism and application studies. Regarding the recent progress in SERS and TERS, this review discusses four main topics: (1) nanometer to subnanometer plasmonic hotspots for SERS; (2) Ångström resolved TERS; (3) chemical mechanisms, i.e., charge-transfer mechanism of SERS and semiconductor-enhanced Raman scattering; and (4) the creation of a strong bridge between the mechanism studies and applications.

Abstract
Nanoscale chemical and structural characterization of single biomolecules and assemblies is of paramount importance for applications in biology and medicine. It aims to describe the molecular structure of biomolecules and their interaction with unprecedented spatial resolution to better comprehend underlying molecular mechanisms of biological processes involved in cell activity and diseases. Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) spectroscopy appears particularly appealing to reach these objectives. This state-of-the-art TERS technique is as versatile as it is ultrasensitive. To perform a successful TERS experiment, special care and a thorough methodology for the preparation of the TERS system, the TERS probe tip, and sample are needed. Intense efforts have been deployed to characterize nucleic acids, proteins and peptides, lipid membranes, and more complex systems such as cells and viruses using TERS. Although the vast majority of studies have first been performed in dry conditions, they have allowed for several scientific breakthroughs. These include DNA and RNA sequencing, and the determination of relationships between protein structure and biological function by the use of increasingly exploitative chemometric tools for spectral data analysis. The nanoscale determination of the secondary structure of amyloid fibrils, protofibrils and oligomers implicated in neurodegenerative diseases could, for instance, be connected with the toxicity of these species, amyloid formation pathways, and their interaction with phospholipids. Single particles of different viral strains could be distinguished from one another by comparison of their protein and lipid contents. In addition, TERS has allowed for the evermore accurate description of the molecular organization of lipid membranes. Very recent advances also demonstrated the possibility to carry out TERS in aqueous medium, which opens thrilling perspectives for the TERS technique in biological, biomedical, and potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Tip-based photoemission spectroscopic techniques have now achieved subnanometer resolution that allows visualization of the chemical structure and even the ground-state vibrational modes of a single molecule. However, the ability to visualize the interplay between electronic and nuclear motions of excited states, i.e., vibronic couplings, is yet to be explored. Herein, we theoretically propose a new technique, namely, tip-enhanced fluorescence excitation (TEFE). TEFE takes advantage of the highly confined plasmonic field and thus can offer a possibility to directly visualize the vibronic effect of a single molecule in real space for arbitrary excited states in a given energy window. Numerical simulations for a single porphine molecule confirm that vibronic couplings originating from Herzberg-Teller (HT) active modes can be visually identified. TEFE further enables high-order vibrational transitions that are normally suppressed in the other plasmon-based processes. Images of the combination vibrational transitions have the same pattern as that of their parental HT active mode's fundamental transition, providing a direct protocol for measurements of the activity of Franck-Condon modes of selected excited states. These findings strongly suggest that TEFE is a powerful strategy to identify the involvement of molecular moieties in the complicated electron-nuclear interactions of the excited states at the single-molecule level.

Abstract
DNA covers the genetic information in all living organisms. Numerous intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the local structure of the DNA molecule or compromise its integrity. Detailed understanding of structural modifications of DNA resulting from interactions with other molecules and surrounding environment is of central importance for the future development of medicine and pharmacology. In this paper, we review the recent achievements in research on DNA structure at nanoscale. In particular, we focused on the molecular structure of DNA revealed by high-resolution AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) imaging at liquid/solid interfaces. Such detailed structural studies were driven by the technical developments made in SPM (Scanning Probe Microscopy) techniques. Therefore, we describe here the working principles of AFM modes allowing high-resolution visualization of DNA structure under native (liquid) environment. While AFM provides well-resolved structure of molecules at nanoscale, it does not reveal the chemical structure and composition of studied samples. The simultaneous information combining the structural and chemical details of studied analyte allows achieve a comprehensive picture of investigated phenomenon. Therefore, we also summarize recent molecular spectroscopy studies, including Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS), on the DNA structure and its structural rearrangements.

Abstract
Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) has recently demonstrated the exceptional sensitivity to observe vibrational structures on the atomic scale. However, it strongly relies on electromagnetic enhancement in plasmonic nanogaps. Here, we demonstrate that atomic point contact (APC) formation between a plasmonic tip and the surface of a bulk Si sample can lead to a dramatic enhancement of Raman scattering and consequently the phonons of the reconstructed Si(111)-7 × 7 surface can be detected. Furthermore, we demonstrate the chemical sensitivity of APC-TERS by probing local vibrations resulting from Si-O bonds on the partially oxidized Si(111)-7 × 7 surface. This approach will expand the applicability of ultrasensitive TERS, exceeding the previous measurement strategies that exploit intense gap-mode plasmons, typically requiring a plasmonic substrate.

Abstract
Fundamental understanding of chemistry and physical properties at the nanoscale enables the rational design of interface-based systems. Surface interactions underlie numerous technologies ranging from catalysis to organic thin films to biological systems. Since surface environments are especially prone to heterogeneity, it becomes crucial to characterize these systems with spatial resolution sufficient to localize individual active sites or defects. Spectroscopy presents as a powerful means to understand these interactions, but typical light-based techniques lack sufficient spatial resolution. This review describes the growing number of applications for the nanoscale spectroscopic technique, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), with a focus on developments in areas that involve measurements in new environmental conditions, such as liquid, electrochemical, and ultrahigh vacuum. The expansion into unique environments enables the ability to spectroscopically define chemistry at the spatial limit. Through the confinement and enhancement of light at the apex of a plasmonic scanning probe microscopy tip, TERS is able to yield vibrational fingerprint information of molecules and materials with nanoscale resolution, providing insight into highly localized chemical effects.

Abstract
Through coupling optical processes with the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), single-molecule chemistry and physics have been investigated at the ultimate spatial and temporal limit. Electrons and photons can be used to drive interactions and reactions in chemical systems and simultaneously probe their characteristics and consequences. In this review we introduce and review methods to couple optical imaging and spectroscopy with scanning tunneling microscopy. The integration of the STM and optical spectroscopy provides new insights into individual molecular adsorbates, surface-supported molecular assemblies, and two-dimensional materials with subnanoscale resolution, enabling the fundamental study of chemistry at the spatial and temporal limit. The inelastic scattering of photons by molecules and materials, that results in unique and sensitive vibrational fingerprints, will be considered with tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. STM-induced luminescence examines the intrinsic luminescence of organic adsorbates and their energy transfer and charge transfer processes with their surroundings. We also provide a survey of recent efforts to probe the dynamics of optical excitation at the molecular level with scanning tunneling microscopy in the context of light-induced photophysical and photochemical transformations.

Abstract
The advent of nanotechnology, and the need to understand the chemical composition at the nanoscale, has stimulated the convergence of IR and Raman spectroscopy with scanning probe methods, resulting in new nanospectroscopy paradigms. Here we review two such methods, namely photothermal induced resonance (PTIR), also known as AFM-IR and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). AFM-IR and TERS fundamentals will be reviewed in detail together with their recent crucial advances. The most recent applications, now spanning across materials science, nanotechnology, biology, medicine, geology, optics, catalysis, art conservation and other fields are also discussed. Even though AFM-IR and TERS have developed independently and have initially targeted different applications, rapid innovation in the last 5 years has pushed the performance of these, in principle spectroscopically complimentary, techniques well beyond initial expectations, thus opening new opportunities for their convergence. Therefore, subtle differences and complementarity will be highlighted together with emerging trends and opportunities.

Abstract
Chemical reactions that are driven by plasmon-induced hot carriers are a timely topic of interest to chemists and material scientists as they provide catalytic alternatives that may reduce cost and/or waste. Herein, we monitored the localized surface plasmon resonance-induced keto-enol isomerization process of 2-mercapto-4(3H)-quinazolinone (MQ) by time-dependent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), where the MQ molecules are adsorbed on gold nanoparticles (GNP) surface by Au-S bonds. The mechanism of keto-enol isomerization has been successfully investigated, and it is found that the isomerization is induced by hot hole transfer from GNPs to the adsorbed molecules. The present investigation could provide significant insights into hot hole catalyzed chemical reactions via SERS spectra and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Localized surface plasmons (LSPs) are excellent light sources at the nanoscale. How to precisely describe the interaction between LSPs and molecules has become an important issue. We present here a comprehensive study on the dependence of resonant Raman images on LSP modes generated by two typical nanostructures. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the Raman images are sensitive to not only the spatial distribution but also the phase of the localized field, which should be attributed to the quantum nature of the interaction between LSP modes and molecules. We also find that the rotation of noncylindrical symmetry modes could affect the details of images, which offers an extra means to extract molecular information. Our findings extend the understanding of the LSP-matter interaction, which would be useful for the rational design of nanostructures and thus further applications of LSPs.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing of DNA bases by plasmonic nanopores could pave a way to novel methods for DNA analyses and new generation single-molecule sequencing platforms. The SERS discrimination of single DNA bases depends critically on the time that a DNA strand resides within the plasmonic hot spot. In fact, DNA molecules flow through the nanopores so rapidly that the SERS signals collected are not sufficient for single-molecule analysis. Here, we report an approach to control the residence time of molecules in the hot spot by an electro-plasmonic trapping effect. By directly adsorbing molecules onto a gold nanoparticle and then trapping the single nanoparticle in a plasmonic nanohole up to several minutes, we demonstrate single-molecule SERS detection of all four DNA bases as well as discrimination of single nucleobases in a single oligonucleotide. Our method can be extended easily to label-free sensing of single-molecule amino acids and proteins.

Abstract
The ability to directly probe the adsorption configurations of organic regioisomeric molecules, specifically nonplanar isomers, on well-defined substrates holds promise to revolutionize fields dependent on nanoscale processes, such as catalysis, surface science, nanotechnology and modern day electronic applications. Herein, the adsorption configurations and surface sensitive interactions of two nonplanar regioisomer, trans- and cis-tetrakispentafluorophenylporphodilactone (trans- and cis-H2F20TPPDL), molecules on (100) surfaces of Ag, Cu and Au were studied and investigated using high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), combined with ultrahigh vacuum tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (UHV-TERS). Depending on molecule-substrate interactions, similar "phenyl-up" configurations were observed for these molecules on Ag(100) and Au(100), while a "phenyl-flat" configuration was discovered on a Cu(100) surface. With the help of surface selection rules of TERS, we explain the spectral discrepancies recorded on the Ag and Cu substrate. Furthermore, the intermolecular interactions were addressed using STM analysis on these surfaces after the configurations were determined by TERS. This study sheds light on the distinct configurations of regioisomeric porphodilactone systems (at interfaces) for near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizers and molecular electronics in the near future.

Abstract
The strong spatial confinement of a nanocavity plasmonic field has made it possible to visualize the inner structure of a single molecule and even to distinguish its vibrational modes in real space. With such ever-improved spatial resolution, it is anticipated that full vibrational imaging of a molecule could be achieved to reveal molecular structural details. Here we demonstrate full Raman images of individual vibrational modes at the ångström level for a single Mg-porphine molecule, revealing distinct characteristics of each vibrational mode in real space. Furthermore, by exploiting the underlying interference effect and Raman fingerprint database, we propose a new methodology for structural determination, which we have called ‘scanning Raman picoscopy’, to show how such ultrahigh-resolution spectromicroscopic vibrational images can be used to visually assemble the chemical structure of a single molecule through a simple Lego-like building process.

Abstract
The controllable catalytic reaction plays a pivotal role in heterogeneous catalysis. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) are considered promising techniques for the study of catalytic reactions due to the highly localized sensitivity of SERS and the nanoscale spatial resolution of TERS. Herein, Ag/Au composite films were employed as catalyst for in situ monitoring of the catalytic reaction of 4‑nitrobenzenethiol (4NBT) to p, p'‑dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB). The catalytic reaction of 4NBT adsorbed on Au film can be manipulated at the nanoscale using TERS by controlling the height between the tip-apex and the sample surface in Ag tip-Au substrate geometry. According to finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations, the 'hot electron' induced by the localized surface plasmon is sufficient for promoting the catalytic reaction. These findings provide a novel way for controllable graph drawing of molecules at the nanoscale level.

Abstract
In the present work, we theoretically study the electromagnetic (EM) enhancement of the Raman and fluorescence signals for a molecule placed in a nanocavity formed by a metallic tip and substrate that mimics a tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) setup using three-dimensional finite element method calculations. The influence of tip size and tip-molecule distance on the EM enhancements of the incident field as well as the radiative and non-radiative decay rates of the molecule are systematically investigated. Simulation results show that the maximum EM enhancement to the incident light as provided by the localized surface plasmon resonance in the nanocavity can reach ∼285 for the configuration considered in the present work. Meanwhile, it was found that, at the classical limit, decreasing the apex radius or the tip-molecule distance can both reduce the spatial distribution (as characterized by the full width at half maximum) of the Raman enhancement in a linear fashion. Moreover, simulation results show that the nonlocal dielectric response of the tip and the substrate plays a key role to the fluorescence quantum yield of the molecule. However, it was found that the strong EM excitation enhancement is the dominating factor for the tip enhanced fluorescence (TEF) effect and stronger fluorescence enhancement has been found when increasing the apex radius or reducing the tip-molecule distance with an incident wavelength of 532 nm. The best TERS and TEF enhancements were found to be ∼[Formula: see text] and ∼[Formula: see text], respectively, with the tip-molecule distance around 1 nm.

Abstract
Real space chemical analysis of two structurally very similar components, that is, regioisomers lies at the heart of heterogeneous catalysis reactions, modern-age electronic devices, and various other surface related problems in surface science and nanotechnology. One of the big challenges in surface chemistry is to identify different surface adsorbed molecules and analyze their chemical properties individually. Herein, we report a topological and chemical analysis of two regioisomers, trans- and cis-tetrakispentafluorophenylporphodilactone ( trans- and cis-H2F20TPPDL) molecules by high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy, and ultrahigh vacuum tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (UHV-TERS). Both isomeric structures are investigated individually on Ag(100) at liquid nitrogen temperature. Following that, we have successfully distinguished these two regioisomeric molecules simultaneously through TERS with an angstrom scale (8 Å) spatial resolution. Also, the two-component organic heterojunction has been characterized at large scale using high-resolution two-dimensional mapping. Combined with time-dependent density functional theory simulations, we explain the TERS spectral discrepancies for both isomers in the fingerprint region.

Abstract
Tapered metallic nanostructures that harbor surface plasmons are highly interesting for nanophotonic applications because of their waveguiding and field-focusing properties. Here, we developed a focused optical field induced solution synthesis for unique crystallized silver nano-needles. Under the focused laser spot, inhomogeneous Ag monomer concentration is created, which triggers the uniaxial growth of silver nanostructures along the radial direction with decreasing rate, forming nano-needle structures. These nano-needles are several micrometers long, with diameter attenuating from hundreds to tens of nanometers, and terminated by a sharp apex only a few nanometers in diameter. Moreover, nano-needles with atomically smooth surfaces show excellent performance for plasmonic waveguiding and unique near-field compression abilities. This nano-needle structure can be used for effective remote-excitation detection/sensing. We also demonstrate the assembling and picking up of nano-needles, which indicate potential applications in intracellular endoscopy, high resolution scanning tips, on-chip nanophotonic devices, etc.

Abstract
Electrochemistry and heterogeneous catalysis continue to attract enormous interest. In situ surface analysis is a dynamic research field capable of elucidating the catalytic mechanisms of reaction processes. Shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS) is a nondestructive technique that has been cumulatively used to probe and analyze catalytic-reaction processes, providing important spectral evidence about reaction intermediates produced on catalyst surfaces. In this perspective, we review recent electrochemical- and heterogeneous-catalysis studies using SHINERS, highlight its advantages, summarize the flaws and prospects for improving the SHINERS technique, and give insight into its future research directions.

Abstract
Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is capable of probing specific molecular information with high sensitivity, but dual chemical sensing remains a challenge. Another major hindrance to TERS chemical detection in biosamples such as blood is the interference from the strong absorptions of biomolecules. Herein, we report the preparation of an organometallic-conjugated TERS tip. We demonstrate that organometallic chemistry can be perfectly coupled with TERS for dual-molecule sensing. The unique Raman signals generated by the organometallic compound circumvent signal interference from the biomolecules in blood, allowing the rapid analysis of two important molecules (glucose and thiol) in ultralow volume (50 nL) samples. This enabled a correlation between the thiol and glucose levels in the blood of nondiabetic and diabetic patients to be drawn.

Abstract
Determining the adsorption configurations of organic molecules on surfaces, especially for relatively small molecules, is a key issue for understanding the microscopic physical and chemical processes in surface science. In this work, we have applied low-temperature ultrahigh-vacuum tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) technique to distinguish the configurations of small 4,4'-bipyridine (44BPY) molecules adsorbed on the Ag(111) surface. The observed Raman spectra exhibit notable differences in the spectral features which can be assigned to three different molecular orientations, each featuring a specific fingerprint pattern based on the TERS selection rule that determines the distribution of the relative intensities of different vibrational peaks. Furthermore, such a small molecule can in turn act as a local probe to provide information on the local electric field distribution at the tip apex. Our work showcases the capability of TERS technique for obtaining information on adsorption configurations of small molecules on surfaces down to the single-molecule level, which is of fundamental importance for many applications in the fields of molecular science and surface chemistry.

Abstract
Individual (bio)chemical entities could show a very heterogeneous behaviour under the same conditions that could be relevant in many biological processes of significance in the life sciences. Conventional detection approaches are only able to detect the average response of an ensemble of entities and assume that all entities are identical. From this perspective, important information about the heterogeneities or rare (stochastic) events happening in individual entities would remain unseen. Some nanoscale tools present interesting physicochemical properties that enable the possibility to detect systems at the single-entity level, acquiring richer information than conventional methods. In this review, we introduce the foundations and the latest advances of several nanoscale approaches to sensing and imaging individual (bio)entities using nanoprobes, nanopores, nanoimpacts, nanoplasmonics and nanomachines. Several (bio)entities such as cells, proteins, nucleic acids, vesicles and viruses are specifically considered. These nanoscale approaches provide a wide and complete toolbox for the study of many biological systems at the single-entity level.

Abstract
With a highly localized plasmonic field, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) images have reached atomic-scale resolution, providing an optical means to explore the structure of a single molecule. We have applied the recently developed theoretical method to simulate the TERS images of trans and cis azobenzene as well as its derivatives on Au(111). Our theoretical results reveal that when the first excited state is resonantly excited, TERS images from a highly confined plasmonic field can effectively distinguish the isomer configurations of the adsorbates. The decay of the plasmonic field along the surface normal can be further used to distinguish different nonplanar cis configurations. Moreover, subtle characteristics of different molecular configurations can also be identified from the TERS images of other resonant excited states with a super-high confined plasmonic field. These findings serve as good references for future TERS experiments on molecular isomers.

Abstract
Ultrahigh vacuum tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (UHV-TERS) combines the atomic-scale imaging capability of scanning probe microscopy with the single-molecule chemical sensitivity and structural specificity of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Here, we use these techniques in combination with theory to reveal insights into the influence of intermolecular interactions on the vibrational spectra of a N-N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (PDI) self-assembled monolayer adsorbed on single-crystal Ag substrates at room temperature. In particular, we have revealed the lifting of a vibrational degeneracy of a mode of PDI on Ag(111) and Ag(100) surfaces, with the most strongly perturbed mode being that associated with the largest vibrational amplitude on the periphery of the molecule. This work demonstrates that UHV-TERS enables direct measurement of molecule-molecule interaction at nanoscale. We anticipate that this information will advance the fundamental understanding of the most important effect of intermolecular interactions on the vibrational modes of surface-bound molecules.

Abstract
The long-range charge-transfer states in a donor-acceptor system exhibit well separated electron-hole pairs, but are often difficult to achieve by optical means owing to a very small overlap between the wave functions of the donor and acceptor. We have found that the introduction of a spatially confined plasmon can enhance the transition probability to the long-range charge-transfer states as it can effectively break the intrinsic symmetry selection rule imposed on the system. Meanwhile, the intensity borrowed from local excitations could also be selectively promoted, allowing the manipulation of the excited quantum states. In addition, our calculations reveal that the donor and acceptor moieties can be unambiguously visualized in real space by tip-enhanced resonance Raman images. These findings can benefit light-harvesting and also be readily extended to diverse optical processes.
