Abstract: Quasiclassical trajectory calculations and vibrational-state-selected beam-surface measurements of CH4 chemisorption on Ir(111) reveal a nonthermal, hot-molecule mechanism for C–H bond activation. Low-energy vibrationally excited molecules become trapped in the physisorption well and react before vibrational… read more here.
