    The effect of supported MoOX structures on the reaction pathways of propene formation in the metathesis of ethylene and 2-butene
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2014) Hahn, T.; Kondratenko, E.V.; Linke, D.
    The kind of surface MoOX structures on Al2O3–SiO2 was found to determine propene selectivity in the metathesis of ethylene and 2-butene. Compared to isolated tetrahedral MoOX species, their polymerized octahedral counterparts show significantly lower activity for isomerisation of 2- to 1-butene thus hindering non-selective metathesis of these butenes. In addition, they reveal higher ability to engage ethylene in propene formation.

    Local protonation control using plasmonic activation
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2001) Singh, P.; Deckert, V.
    Localized protonation of 4-mercaptopyridine (4-MPY), activated by light in the presence of silver nanoparticles is monitored under ambient conditions using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS). The reaction can be controlled by the excitation wavelength and the atmospheric conditions, thus, providing a tool for site-specific control of protonation.
