General description

Sensitive detection of 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole by Au-Ag-Au double shell nanoparticles-based localized surface plasmon resonance and surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensor was reported.

Application

2-Mercapto-1-methylimidazole was employed as hydrophobic charge-induction chromatography ligand for antibody purification. It was also used in preparation of nitrile functionalized methimazole-based room temperature ionic liquids.
