“…LSP resonance refers to the coherent oscillation of conduction electrons of MNPs when excited by electromagnetic radiation, which has become an important subject in nanophotonics due to their remarkable ability to produce strong electromagnetic field near the MNPs surface. This remarkable property has led to the development of various ultrasensitive spectroscopic techniques including surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). − In addition to this, LSP can also facilitate the conversion of parent molecules adsorbed onto MNPs surface into new molecules, known as plasmon-mediated chemical reactions (PMCRs). − The enormous growth and interest in the PMCR research field is fueled up after the discoveries of the chemical transformation of p -aminothiophenol ( p -ATP) or p -nitrothiophenol ( p -NTP) to 4, 4-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) by the SERS technique. − Thereafter, some of the important works have demonstrated the diverse range of plasmon-induced reactions including condensation, dissociation of H 2 and dimethyl disulfide molecules, and oxidation and reduction reactions. ,,,− Toward the development of the PMCR, the reaction mechanism of LSP resonance (LSPR)-induced transformation of p -ATP to DMAB has also been continuously explored in the past. ,,,, Molecules other than p -ATP have been also investigated to explore the involved excitation mechanisms in PMCR. − ,,,,−…”
