Because macroporous materials have 3D periodicity on a length scale comparable to the wavelength of visible light, 3DOM materials have potential use as photonic crystals. Other potential applications include catalysts, bioglasses, sensors, and substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS). ...

The adsorption of nucleic acids at the electrodes used in electroanalyti-cal chemistry has been mostly investigated with the aid of a.c. polarog-raphy, linear sweep, differential or normal pulse voltammetry, ellipsometry and surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy. The results of these studies so far obtained have, however, rather qualitative character. Up to recently the samples of nucleic acids which would contain only identical and well defined molecules have not been available in the quantities sufficient for adsorption studies. The use of oligonucleotides or plasmid DNAs appears to be a way to interpret the adsorption analysis of nucleic acids more accurately.

Of special Interest as O2 reduction electrocatalysts are the transition metal macrocycles In the form of layers adsorptlvely attached, chemically bonded or simply physically deposited on an electrode substrate Some of these complexes catalyze the 4-electron reduction of O2 to H2O or 0H while others catalyze principally the 2-electron reduction to the peroxide and/or the peroxide elimination reactions. Various situ spectroscopic techniques have been used to examine the state of these transition metal macrocycle layers on carbon, graphite and metal substrates under various electrochemical conditions. These techniques have Included (a) visible reflectance spectroscopy (b) laser Raman spectroscopy, utilizing surface enhanced Raman scattering and resonant Raman and (c) Mossbauer spectroscopy. This paper will focus on principally the cobalt and Iron phthalocyanlnes and porphyrins. 

STM-Raman spectroscopy utilizes the effect that Raman scattering is enhanced for a molecule in the vicinity of a metal nanostructure. This enhancement effect is generally called surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). When a sharp scanning probe, such as a tunneling tip for STM, is used as a metal nanostructure to enhance Raman intensity, it is called tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS). The concept of STM combined with Raman spectroscopy is presented in Figure 1.1. 

Ina similarmarmerto surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface-enhancement of hyper-Raman scattering is a promising method to study adsorbed molecules on metal surfaces [24]. Based on recent developments in plasmonics, design and fabrication of metal substrates with high enhancement activities is now becoming possible [21]. Combination of the surface enhancement with the electronic resonances would also be helpful for the practical use of hyper-Raman spectroscopy. Development of enhanced hyper-Raman spectroscopy is awaited for the study of solid/liquid interfaces.

The combination of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) provides an effective in-situ approach for studying the electrode-electrolyte interface. The extreme sensitivity to surface species of SERS is well known. By using polarization modulation of the infrared beam for IRRAS, the complete band shape is obtained without modulating the electrode potential.
