Novel Clarification of Surface Plasmon Coupling Reactions of Aromatic Alkynamine and Nitro Compounds.

This work presents a theoretical and experimental approach for the coupling of 4-ethynylaniline (4-APA) and 4-ethynylnitrobenzene (4-NPA) in the theoretical application of density functional theory (DFT) and experimental monitoring of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The results support electromagnetic enhancement to drive the conversion of aromatic alkynamine and nitro compounds and regulation by the catalytic coupling reaction conditions. In addition, this work investigates the adsorption site effect of surface plasmon coupling reactions of 4-APA and 4-NPA molecules into alkynyl azo compounds. This study presents theoretical and experimental images used to analyze the plasmon-driven surface catalytic reaction system.
