Trace mercury ions can be reduced by NaH2PO2 to form nanomercury that can catalyze the NaH2PO2 reduction of HAuCl4 to produce gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity. Upon the addition of Vitoria blue B (VBB) as a molecular probe, it adsorbed on the surfaces of the AuNPs with a strong SERS peak at 1612 cm(-1). With an increasing concentration of Hg2+, the SERS effect enhanced at 1612 cm(-1) due to the formation of more AuNPs as substrate generated from the nanocatalytic particle reaction. This new SERS nanocatalytic indicator reaction was studied by SERS, resonance Rayleigh scattering, absorption spectrophotometry and scanning electron microscopy. Under the chosen conditions, 3.0 to 150 x 10(-9) mol L-1 Hg2+ can be analyzed quantitatively using SERS, with a detection limit of 0.8 nmol L-1 Hg2+.
