Fast molecular compression by a hyperthermal collision gives bond-selective mechanochemistry
- Abstract:
-
Using electrospray ion beam deposition, we collide the complex molecule Reichardt's dye (C_{41}H_{30}NO^{+}) at low, hyperthermal translational energy (2-50 eV) with a Cu(100) surface and image the outcome at single-molecule level by scanning tunneling microscopy. We observe bond-selective reaction induced by the translational kinetic energy. The collision impulse compresses the molecule and bends specific bonds, prompting them to react selectively. This dynamics drives the system to see...
