“…Quite often, SERS was also employed to determine the orientation of the molecules on a metal surface. Such studies are compiled here for the following molecules: 1H-and 3H-imidazo [4,5-b]pyridine and their methyl derivatives, [113] copper(II) chloride and bromide compounds of KCuBr 3 , [114] 5,6-diméthyluracile, [115] [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 2 M II (H 2 O) 4 (SO 4 ) 2 , M II = Mn, Cd and VO, [116] potassium trimethylsilanolate, [117] 2-aminopyridinium-4-hydroxybenzenosulfonate, [118] the H 4 I 2 O 10 2− ion in CuH 4 I 2 O 10 · 6H 2 O, [119] 2-amino-4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine, [120] 3 (or 4 or 6)-methyl-5-nitro-2-pyridinethiones, [121] 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (MNA) crystal, [122] 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium hydrogen selenate, [123] the food dye amaranth, [124] transstilbene in the excited singlet state, [125] chloramphenicol, [126] oroxylin, [127] 4-fluoro-N-(2-hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl)benzamide, [128] phenanthridine, [129] 3,5 dichloro hydroxy benzaldehyde and 2,4 dichloro benzaldehyde. [130] Solid State (Minerals, Crystals, Linear Chains, Glasses, Ceramics and Disordered Materials) Minerals A great number of minerals have been studied during 2008 by the Frost group [131 -146] using both Raman and infrared spectroscopies: smithsonite, [131] the uranyl carbonate mineral voglite, [132] hydrotalcite with CO 3 2− and (MoO 4 ) 2− anions in the interlayer, [133] the uranyl phosphate minerals phosphuranylite and yingjiangite, [134] the uranyl carbonate mineral zellerite, [135] the molybdate-containing uranyl mineral calcurmolite, [136] the oxalate mineral wheatleyite Na 2 Cu 2+ (C 2 O 4 ) 2 ·2H 2 O, [137] the nickel silicate mineral pecoraite, [138] synthetic nesquehonite, [139] the uranyl mineral, compreignacite, K 2 [(UO 2 ) 3 O 2 (OH) 3 ] 2 ·7H 2 O, [140] the hydroxy nickel carbonate minerals nullaginite and zaratite, …”
