A highly ordered copper(i) oxide film grown on a Pt(111) substrate exhibits extremely high reactivity to CO molecules. Systematic scanning tunneling microscopy experiments in combination with density-functional theory calculations demonstrate that the reaction occurs at the peripheries of the Cu2O islands where low-coordinated oxygen atoms are located.
