Abstract
The use of surface enhanced Raman scattering as a tool for the elucidation of reaction mechanisms in heterogeneous catalysis is investigated. The following information is desired:
- identification of the molecular species adsorbed at the surface, even if present in low concentrations; this includes reactants, major and side products;
- type and geometry of bonding to the surface;
- detection of intermediates which exist only as surface species.
