High photon confinement and the field gradient effect can alter selection rules in Raman spectroscopy. We report the first observation of the forbidden combination Raman modes in defect-free monolayer graphene on an Au(111) substrate whose Raman peak lies at 2919.1 cm^-1.The occurrence of the forbidden combination Raman modes alongside the D and D’ modes is due to the nano confined light generated at the tip apex that, in turn, generates a strong field gradient.
