A series of eleven specially designed benzotriazole monoazo dyes for use in surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering studies are reported. Unlike previous benzotriazole dyes produced for SERRS, these dyes have been synthesised to be trifunctional in nature. The presence of the benzotriazole moiety provides surface complexing properties, the azo linkage provides the colour and hence extra sensitivity and the nucleophilic amine group enables further functionalisation.

Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window has great potential for improved phototheranostics, but lacks nonfluorescent, resonant and high-affinity Raman dyes. Herein, it is designed and synthesize a multi-sulfur Raman reporter, NF1064, whose maximum absorption of 1064 nm rigidly resonates with NIR-II excitation laser while possessing absolutely nonfluorescent backgrounds. Ultrafast spectroscopy suggests that the fluorescence quenching mechanism of NF1064 originates from twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) in the excited state.

Near-infrared (NIR) surface-enhanced resonance Raman (SERRS) nanoprobes have found wide applications in biomedicine; however, almost all of these nanoprobes are fluorescent because the resonant Raman dyes used cannot be fully quenched onto the underlying plasmonic nanoparticles. Therefore, suppressing the fluorescence backgrounds in resonant Raman spectroscopy imaging is extremely important. In this work, we use a black hole quencher, IQ1, as a Raman dye to develop absolutely nonfluorescent NIR resonant SERRS NPs.

A highly sensitive, selective and recyclable histidine detection method based on magnetic FeO@mTiO (M-TiO) nanocomposites with SERRS was developed. Mesoporous M-TiO nanoparticles were functionalized with 4-aminothiophenol and then coupled with histidine through an azo coupling reaction in 5 min, producing the corresponding azo compound. The strong and specific SERRS response of the azo product allowed for ultrasensitive and selective detection for histidine with an M-TiO device loaded with Ag NPs due to the molecular resonance effect and plasmonic effect of Ag NPs under a 532 nm excitation laser.

Multiplexed imaging, which allows for the interrogation of multiple molecular features simultaneously, is vital for addressing numerous challenges across biomedicine. Optically unique surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles (NPs) have the potential to serve as a vehicle to achieve highly multiplexed imaging in a single acquisition, which is non-destructive, quantitative, and simple to execute. When using laser excitation at 785 nm, which allows for a lower background from biological tissues, near infrared (NIR) dyes can be used as Raman reporters to provide high Raman signal intensity due to the resonance effect.
