Abstract
Photochemical decomposition reactions of (methoxyphenyl)azosulfonates, of (3-vinylphenyl)azosulfonate, and of the model compound 4-nitrobenzoic acid, are studied by surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The reactants are deposited onto silver island films by spin coating. Subsequent to pulsed excimer laser irradiation at 308 nm, Raman spectra are excited using a continuous wave visible laser. In the case of nitrobenzoic acid, the formation of an azodihenzoate radical recombination product is confirmed
