Abstract
The effect of the core atom type of the M@Au12 nanocluster (M = Au, Ag, Pt, and Pd) on the normal (NR) and charge-transfer surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (CT-SERS) of the zwitterion form of l-cysteine (ZWCYS) adsorbed on two different sites (D1 and D2) of the nanocluster is investigated separately in the gas phase and water. Because SERS requires the calculation of the absorption spectrum, the effect of the core atom type on the absorption spectrum of M@Au12 and its complex with the ZWCYS has also been investigated. The vibrational bands that show the intensity enhancement in the CT-SERS of the ZWCYS interacting with the D1 site of M@Au12 nanocluster in water are O─C═O asymmetric stretching (M = Au and Ag), NH2 bending (M = Ag), S-H stretching (M = Ag, Pt, and Pd), CH2 bending (M = Pt), and CH2 symmetric stretching (M = Pt and Pd). The ZWCYS at the D2 site of the M@Au12 nanocluster in water exhibits intensity enhancement for O─C═O asymmetric stretching (M = Pt), NH3 wagging (M = Au), and S-H stretching (M = Pd). The intensity of the vibrational bands of ZWCYS does not increase for M = Ag but decreases for O─C═O asymmetric stretching, S-H stretching, CH2 symmetric stretching, CH2 asymmetric stretching, and especially NH2 symmetric stretching.

Abstract
Detection of enantiomers is a challenging problem in drug development as well as environmental and food quality monitoring where traditional optical detection methods suffer from low signals and sensitivity. Application of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for enantiomeric discrimination is a powerful approach for the analysis of optically active small organic or large biomolecules. In this work, we proposed the coupling of disposable chiral plasmonic shurikens supporting the chiral near-field distribution with SERS active silver nanoclusters for enantio-selective sensing. As a result of the plasmonic coupling, significant difference in SERS response of optically active analytes is observed. The observations are studied by numerical simulations and it is hypothesized that the silver particles are being excited by superchiral fields generated at the surface inducing additional polarizations in the probe molecules. The plasmon coupling phenomena was found to be extremely sensitive to slight variations in shuriken geometry, silver nanostructured layer parameters, and SERS excitation wavelength(s). Designed structures were able to discriminate cysteine enantiomers at concentrations in the nanomolar range and probe biomolecular chirality, using a common Raman spectrometer within several minutes. The combination of disposable plasmonic substrates with specific near-field polarization can make the SERS enantiomer discrimination a commonly available technique using standard Raman spectrometers.

Abstract
A new, stable and high-catalytic activity ferrocene-doped polystyrene nanosphere (PNFer) sol was prepared by the hydrogel procedure and characterized by electron microscopy and molecular spectroscopy. Results show that the nanosol exhibits excellent catalysis of the new indicator nanoreaction between AgNO3 and sodium formate to generate nanosilver with strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and surface plasmon resonance absorption (Abs) trimode molecular spectral signals. This new nanocatalytic amplification trimode indicator reaction was coupled with the G-quadruplex DNAzyme catalytic amplification of Pb2+ aptamer to fabricate a new SERS quantitative/RRS/Abs assay platform for the determination of ultratrace amounts of Pb2+. The Pb2+ content in water samples was analyzed with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@AgNPs) were optimized with different gold (Au) core sizes and modified surface with mercaptooctane (MCO) to determine fungicide residues in pear fruit extracts. The developed MCO/Au@AgNPs with a gold core size of 28 nm and silver shell thickness of 6 nm exhibited high sensitivity and significant enhancement of Raman scattering in detecting tricyclazole (TCZ) and thiram fungicides in standard and pear fruit samples. The detection limits for TCZ and thiram in the pear fruit extracts were 0.005 and 0.003 ppm with coefficients of determination of (R2) of 0.9984 and 0.9971, percent recovery ranging from 82.7 to 107.4% and 80.7 to 109.8%, and relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.5 to 7.9% and 3.7 to 9.5%, respectively. Results showed that this easily prepared method could be employed as SERS active platforms for the rapid assessment of trace contaminants of agrochemicals in agriculture production.

Abstract
Two novel core-shell composites SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb, SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen with SiO₂ as the core and terbium organic complex as the shell, were successfully synthesized. The terbium ion was coordinated with organic ligand forming terbium organic complex in the shell layer. The bi-functional organosilane ((HOOC)₂C₆H₂(CONH(CH₂)₃Si(OCH₂CH₃)₃)₂ (abbreviated as PMDA-Si) was used as the first ligand and phen as the second ligand. Furthermore, the silica-modified SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb@SiO₂ and SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen@SiO₂ core-shell-shell composites were also synthesized by sol-gel chemical route. An amorphous silica shell was coated around the SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb and SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen core-shell composites. The core-shell and core-shell-shell composites both exhibited excellent luminescence in solid state. The luminescence of core-shell-shell composites was stronger than that of core-shell composites. Meanwhile, an improved luminescence stability property for the core-shell-shell composites was found in the aqueous solution. The core-shell-shell composites exhibited bright luminescence, high stability, long lifetime, and good solubility, which may present potential applications in the bio-medical field.
