The novel two-dimensional layered ’van-der Waals’ material Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is investigated using inelastic and resonant light scattering - a contactless and extremely versatile tool - to study phonon and electronic excitations. In particular, we focus on the influence of different supporting materials (SiO2, sapphire and SAMs of organic molecules) as well as various environmental conditions (ambient, vacuum and water) on the low energy excitations of MoS2. We find that both, different substrate and environment give rise to a significant modification of the most prominent Raman modes, whereas a monolayer is most effected by the environmental conditions.
