Zeolite FSM 16 was synthesized by reconstruction of layered silicate in the presence of organic surfactant. With partial replacement of Ti 3+ with organic cations, TiO 2 nano structured particles were simultaneously built in the channel of the zeolite as the framework of the zeolite was formed. XRD, IR and Raman spectroscopic characterizations indicate that SiO 4 tetrahedron may be distorted and transferred from Q 3 to Q 2 form due to the pucker and reconstruction of the layered structure. The formation of TiO 2 nano structured particles had no influence on the formation of zeolite framework, however, the interaction obviously occurred between TiO 2 nano structured particles and zeolite framework.
CdS nanoparticles were assembled on the smooth surface of a piece of silver by using 1,4-benzenedithiol as coupling molecules. The SEM and resonance Raman spectroscopic characterizations demonstrate that the nanosized structure of CdS was still preserved upon assembly, and a two-dimensional structure of CdS nanoparticles was formed on the substrate surface. The FT-Raman spectra indicate that 1,4-benzenedithiol was coupled between CdS nanoparticles and the silver surface with a tilted orientation. The Raman scattering of 1,4-benzenedithiol was substantially enhanced by the assembled CdS nanoparticles, probably due to the alteration of the polarizability of 1,4-benzenedithiol and the electromagnetic interaction between the dipoles of the CdS particle with its image in the metal substrate.
