New avenues in alkene epoxidation : selective oxidation on Cu{111} and Cu{110}

This work investigated the partial oxidation reactions of styrene on Cu{110} and Cu{111} and butadiene on Cu{111}. For the first time it has been shown that it is possible to epoxidise alkenes over single crystal copper surfaces, the reaction is not confined to silver alone. The techniques used incl...
