Raman and SERS spectra of benzaldehyde (Bz-CHO) and chromone-3-carboxaldehyde (Ch-CHO) on silver colloids have been analyzed, being subsequently compared to the spectra of the corresponding acids. In the SERS spectra of both aldehydes, the band corresponding to the.(C =O) stretching mode of the carboxaldehyde group at ca. 1700cm (-1) ismissing, while a newband at 13501400cm(-1), characteristic of the symmetric stretching mode of carboxylate group, is appearing in both cases. These results point out that aldehydes are oxidized to their corresponding acidswhen adsorbed on silver nanoparticles. This conclusion has been confirmed by means of HPLC-MS analysis and supported on the basis of DFT calculations. Copyright (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
