Abstract

Catching CO oxidation Details of the transition state that forms as carbon monoxide (CO) adsorbed on a ruthenium surface is oxidized to CO 2 have been revealed by ultrafast excitation and probe methods. Öström et al. initiated the reaction between CO and adsorbed oxygen atoms with laser pulses that rapidly heated the surface and then probed the changes in electronic structure with oxygen x-ray absorption spectroscopy. They observed transition-state configurations that are consistent with density functional theory and a quantum oscillator model. Science , this issue p. 978
