In this study, we attempt to experimentally address the question of whether p,p'-dimercaptoazobisbenzene (DMAB) can be produced from p-aminothiophenol (PATP) by surface photochemistry reaction in the junctions of a Ag nanoparticle-molecule-Ag (or Au) film. First, utilizing surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra, we provide experimental and theoretical evidence that DMAB can be produced from PATP by surface photochemistry reaction in the junctions of a Ag nanoparticle-molecule-Ag film. Second, we investigate the SERS spectra utilizing both experimental and theoretical approaches, ultimately revealing that DMAB cannot be produced from PATP in the junctions of a Ag nanoparticle-molecule-Au film. The electromagnetic enhancements are estimated with three-dimensional finite-difference time domain methods, which are about 9 x 10(5) times in the junctions of Ag nanoparticle-PATP-Ag/Au films.
