The surface-enhanced Raman spectroelectrochemical study on the interaction between beta-cyclodextrin and the electrochemically generated radical intermediate of flavin
The surface-enhanced Raman spectroelectrochemical behavior of riboflavin has been investigated in the absence and the presence of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) on a silver electrode. The SERS spectra of the reduced anion intermediate species have been clearly observed at the electrode surface. The results also indicate that the formation of an inclusion complex with beta-CD can stabilize the anion radicals and make it easier to reduce.
