A critical review of different prominent nanotechnologies adapted to catalysis is provided,
with focus on how they contribute to the improvement of selectivity in heterogeneous …

It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

In the present review we survey the main advances made in recent years on the
understanding of chemical chirality at solid surfaces. Chirality is an important topic, made …

Research on surface chirality is motivated by the need to develop functional chiral surfaces
for enantiospecific applications. While molecular chirality in 3D has been the subject of study …

A Perspective is offered on the lessons learned from surface-science studies on
enantioselective chemistry on solid surfaces performed by the author's groups. Our …

Adsorption is an important step in heterogeneous catalysis as it predetermines how many
reactant molecules can participate in a surface reaction per unit time. While the rate of …

In this review we survey the contributions that molecular beam experiments have provided to
our understanding of the dynamics and kinetics of chemical interactions of gas molecules …

The thermodynamics of the adsorption of carbon monoxide on a copper-based catalyst were
estimated by using data from in situ infrared absorption spectroscopy experiments. A direct …

The enantiospecific adsorption of enantiomer mixtures on surfaces is dictated by two
competing forces: the enantiospecificity of adsorption energetics and the propensity of …

Imparting chirality to non-chiral metal surfaces by adsorption of chiral modifiers is a highly
promising route to create effective heterogeneously catalyzed processes for the production …
