Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SEAS) is a known approach for detecting trace amounts of molecular species. Whereas SERS measurements have focused on enhancing the signal for sensing trace amounts of a chemical moiety, understanding how the substrate alters molecular Raman spectra can enable optical probing of analyte binding chemistry. Here we examine binding of trans-1,2-two(4-pyridyl) ethylene (BPE) to Au surfaces and understand variations in experimental data that arise from differences in how the molecule binds to the substrate. Monitoring differences in the SEAS as a function of incubation time, a period of several hours in our case, reveals that the number of BPE molecules that chemically binds with the Au substrate increases with time. In addition, we introduce a direct method of accessing relative chemical enhancement from experiments that is in quantitative agreement with theory. The ability to probe optically specific details of metal/molecule interfaces opens up possibilities for using SERS in chemical analysis.
