The selective activation and transformation of alkanes or aromatics have been a research
goal for several decades. 1-3 Today, research in this area is strongly motivated by the need …

In this review we examine the presently available theoretical techniques for determining
metal surface reaction energetics. The unity bond index-quadratic exponential potential (UBI …

In this review what is known about the chemistry of hydrocarbon molecules on transition
metal sur-faces will be surveyed. A battery of new surface science techniques has been …

One of the more controversial issues in surface science concerns the relevance of studies
on singlecrystal surfaces under vacuum conditions for processes such as heterogeneous …

Chemistry on solid surfaces is central to many areas of practical interest such as
heterogeneous catalysis, tribology, electrochemistry, and materials processing. With the …

Nanotechnologies have provided new methods for the preparation of nanomaterials with
well‐defined sizes and shapes, and many of those procedures have been recently …

A review of the major contributions from modern surface science to the understanding of the
chemistry of heterogeneous catalysis is provided. A number of basic concepts, including the …

I review a concept that models heterogeneous catalysis based on a surface‐science
approach. It is shown that models catching part of the complexity of the real system, which is …
