Vibrational control of selective bond cleavage in dissociative chemisorption of methanol on Cu(111)
Abstract
Controlling product branching ratios in a chemical reaction represents a desired but difficult achievement in chemistry. In this work, we demonstrate the first example of altering the branching ratios in a multichannel reaction, i.e., methanol dissociative chemisorption on Cu(111), via selectively exciting specific vibrational modes. To this end, we develop a globally accurate full-dimensional potential energy surface for the CH3OH/Cu(111)...
