Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) provides orders of magnitude of enhancements to weak Raman scattering. The improved sensitivity and chemical information conveyed in the spectral signatures make SERS a valuable analysis technique. Most of SERS enhancements come from the electromagnetic enhancement mechanism, and changes in spectral signatures are usually attributed to the chemical enhancement mechanism. As the electromagnetic mechanism has been well studied, we will give an overview of models related to the chemical mechanism, which explain the Raman response in terms of electronic transitions or induced electron densities. In the first class of models based on electronic transitions, chemical enhancements are attributed to changes in transitions of the molecule and new charge transfer transitions. The second class of models relate chemical enhancements to charge flows near the molecule–metal interface by partitioning the induced electron density of the SERS system in real space. Selected examples will be given to illustrate the two classes of models, and connections between the models are demonstrated for prototypical SERS systems.
