Overview

Investigates how molecular orientation affects reaction selectivity in plasmon-induced chemistry, indicating new strategies for initiating reactions.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the impact of molecular orientation on reaction selectivity in plasmon-driven chemical processes.
  • Utilized tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to probe chemical reactions at the nanoscale.
  • Investigated 4-BTP reactions on various metal surfaces including polycrystalline silver and gold, and single-crystal Au(111).
  • Compared ordered and disordered self-assembled monolayers for differences in reaction pathways.
  • Recognized significant differences in reaction pathways depending on substrate choice and molecular orientation.
  • Established a direct relationship between molecular structure and selectivity in chemical reactions.
  • Demonstrated that steric constraints from molecular packing influence the outcomes of reactions.
