Abstract

It is demonstrated that appearance of strong lines in surface-enhanced hyper-Raman (SEHR) spectra of phenazine and pyrazine, which are associated with totally symmetric vibrations, as well as other details of these spectra, can be explained using the dipole-quadrupole theory. The main point of this theory is the concept of strong quadrupole interaction of light with molecules, which arises in surface fields strongly varying in space near a rough metal surface. The theoretical results make it possible to correctly interpret the SEHR spectra of phenazine and pyrazine (namely, the emergence of the strong lines due to totally symmetric vibrations that are forbidden in usual hyper-Raman scattering), as well as other lines in the spectrum.
