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. 

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 ILs interact with surfaces and electrodes [23-25], and many more studies have been done that what we can cite. As one example, in situ Fourier-transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRAS) has been utilized to study the molecular structure of the electrified interphase between a l-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [C2Qlm][BF4] liquid and gold substrates [26]. Similar results have been obtained by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for [C4Cilm][PFg] adsorbed on silver [24,27] and quartz [28]. 

Another interesting photophysical property of Au NPs and nanorods is surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), which is a powerful tool for relaying information on molecules placed on metallic substrates in the 10-200 nm size scale. Raman vibrations of isolated molecules are very weak but it is possible to take advantage of nanosized metals since the molecular Raman vibrations excited by visible light are enhanced by several orders of magnitude. 

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). ...
