Moving the labels: The dynamics of surface lattice oxygen atoms is demonstrated using 18O-labeled MgO and CaO catalysts. The incorporation of 18O into the products of the pseudo-Canizzaro reaction under mild conditions (see Figure) illustrates the nucleophilicity of the oxide surfaces and indicates a reaction mechanism involving surface restructuring.
