Additionally, a linear calibration curve for capsaicin ranging from 10<sup>−9</sup> to 10<sup>−5</sup> M was established using the SERS method, yielding an LOD of 7.38 nM. By integrating the advantages of facile detection through colorimetric analysis with the high-sensitivity trace assay provided by SERS, this proposed dual-mode detection system demonstrates excellent sensitivity, reliability, selectivity, and wide detection range compared to previous probes and methods.

In-depth analysis of this uncommon spectral shifts and fluorescence decay curves of DMACBA-S in the presence and absence of FLU revealed that the quenching could be due to a combination of FRET and electrostatic interaction between the acceptor and the CTAB micelles which eventually resulted in the rupture of the micelle followed by the formation of weakly fluorescent DMACB aggregates in water (DMACBA-R).

The experimental spectra is contrasted with the one computationally determined using a theoretical model that congregates, Fermi resonances, Davydov coupling, the theory of strong anharmonic coupling and the effect of the reversible action of the medium on the anharmonic vibrational modes altogether with the same approach dealing with Kubo’s linear response theory. A satisfactory superimposition between the numerically generated spectra and the experimental infrared absorption spectra is elucidated. The theoretical analysis is performed through the examination of the effect of the commonly employed theories and approximations in order to illuminate how to numerically simulate the ABC structure. The method offers a clear explanation for the Hadzi structure’s formation by demonstrating that the BC diad is produced by the Fermi resonance mechanism, while the peak A is caused by the Davydov coupling mechanism.

The analysis meticulously incorporates solvent effects, specifically those of dichloromethane, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the PT processes.

Additionally, the potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the ground (S<sub>0</sub>) and S<sub>1</sub> states revealed a synergistic interaction between single and dual ESIPT processes within the S<sub>1</sub> state.
