We report the SERS spectrum of azthioprine (AZA) on a silver electrode surface and the results of normal mode calculations using empirical and ab initio calculations of the 6-mercaptopurione (6-MP) component of AZA. The empirical calculations were done with a Urey-Bradley force field (UBFF) and the ab initio calculations with the STO-3G basis set using the UHF, MP2 and BLYP methods. From the difference between the SERS and solid spectra, we determined that AZA attaches edge-on to the surface through the N3 site on the 6-MP component of the molecule. The UBFF calculation on an Ag adatom-molecule model reproduced most of the main observed frequency shifts in the SERS spectrum. With a similar model, the ab initio calculations yielded frequency shifts in the same direction as the one observed for the in-plane normal modes, but they yielded opposite shifts for the out-of-plane normal modes. This phenomenon may be attributed to a face-on interaction of the 6-MP component with a neighboring adatom made possible by an inclination of the molecule on the surface.
