Synthesis, Stability, and Surface Plasmonic Properties of Rhodium Multipods, and Their Use as Substrates for Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering

Multipodal Rh nanocrystals (see HRTEM image of a tripod) prepared through a polyol synthesis display surface plasmon resonance bands in the visible region. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering from 4-mercaptopyridine adsorbed on Rh multipods is 19-times stronger than that from Rh nanocubes.
