Abstract:
The first synthesis of a triphenylmethine (TM) library of compounds and screening of their Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) capability was carried out to identify novel Raman reporters with high sensitivity. We identified three novel SERS reporters (B2, B7, and C7) with higher signal intensity than that of commonly used crystal violet (CV). These reporters may find potential applications in developing sensitive SERS based biosensors.
