What are the reaction mechanisms responsible for the selective product formation in
catalysis? How can we identify the reactive intermediates steering the reaction towards the …

Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from methanol is a standard test reaction for photocatalyst
materials. Surprisingly, the exact chemical mechanism is still widely discussed in the …

The selective oxidation of alcohols has attracted a great deal of attention. While most
photocatalytic studies focus on the generation of hydrogen from alcohols, there is also a …

Chirality detection of gas-phase molecules at low concentrations is challenging as the
molecular number density is usually too low to perform conventional circular dichroism …

Adsorption of styrene oxide on Ag (111) at 200 K leads to the formation of a stable
oxametallacycle by ring-opening of the epoxide. At elevated temperatures, the …
