ConspectusUnder visible light illuminations, noble metal nanostructures can condense photon energy into the nanoscale region. By precisely tuning the metal nanostructures, the ultimate confinement of photoenergy at the molecular scale can be obtained. At such a confined photon energy field, various unique photoresponses of molecules, such as efficient visible light energy conversion processes or efficient multielectron transfer reactions, can be observed. Light-matter interactions also increase with the condensation of photons with nanoscale regions, leading to efficient light energy utilizations. Moreover, the strong field confinement can often modulate electronic excitations beyond normal selection rules. Such unique electronic excitations could realize innovative photoenergy conversion systems. On the other hand, such interactions lead to changes in the optical absorption property of the system via the formation of hybridized electronic energy states. This hybridized state is expected to have the potential to modulate the chemical reaction pathways. Taking these facts into consideration, a probe for the molecular absorption process with high sensitivity allows us to find novel ways for further precise tuning of light-matter interactions. In this Account, we review phenomena of unique electronic excitations from the perspective of our previous investigations using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy at electrified interfaces. Because the enhancement mechanism of Raman scattering at interfaces is deeply correlated with the photon absorption process accompanied by the electronic excitations between molecules and electrode surfaces, the detailed SERS investigations of the well-defined system can provide information on the electronic excitation processes. Through SERS observations of single-molecule junctions at electrodes or well-defined low-dimensional carbon materials, we have observed the characteristic Raman bands containing additional polarization tensors, indicating the occurrence of electronic polarization induced by electronic excitations based on a distinct selection rule. The origins for the observed facts were attributed to the highly condensed electric field producing the huge intensity gradient at the nano scale. The electrochemical potential control of the system would be valuable for the control of the excitation process. Additionally, from Raman spectra of dye molecules coupled to the plasmonic field, the changes in the Raman scattering intensity depending on the strength of interactions suggested the modulation of the absorption characteristics of the system. In addition, we have proved that the electrochemical potential control method can be a powerful tool for the active tuning of the light-matter interaction, leading to the change in the light absorption property. The molecular behaviors of dyes in the strong-coupling regime were reversibly tuned to show intense SERS. The current descriptions provide novel insights for these unique electronic excitations, realized by the plasmon excitation, that lead to advanced photoenergy conversions beyond the limits of present systems.
