Abstract
A critical review of different prominent nanotechnologies adapted to catalysis is provided, with focus on how they contribute to the improvement of selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Ways to modify catalytic sites range from the use of the reversible or irreversible adsorption of molecular modifiers to the immobilization or tethering of homogeneous catalysts and the development of well-defined catalytic sites on solid surfaces. The latter covers methods for the dispersion of single-atom sites within solid supports as well as the use of complex nanostructures, and it includes the post-modification of materials via processes such as silylation and atomic layer deposition. All these methodologies exhibit both advantages and limitations, but all offer new avenues for the design of catalysts for specific applications. Because of the high cost of most nanotechnologies and the fact that the resulting materials may exhibit limited thermal or chemical stability, they may be best aimed at improving the selective synthesis of high value-added chemicals, to be incorporated in organic synthesis schemes, but other applications are being explored as well to address problems in energy production, for instance, and to design greener chemical processes. The details of each of these approaches are discussed, and representative examples are provided. We conclude with some general remarks on the future of this field.

Abstract
Adsorption of chiral molecules on heterogeneous catalysts is a simple approach for inducing an asymmetric environment to enable enantioselective reactivity. Although the concept of chiral induction is straightforward, its practical utilization is far from simple, and only a few examples toward the successful chiral induction by surface anchoring of asymmetric modifiers have been demonstrated so far. Elucidating the factors that lead to successful chiral induction is therefore a crucial step for understanding the mechanism by which chirality is transferred. Herein, we identify the adsorption geometry of OH-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), which are chemical analogues to chiral modifiers that successfully promoted α-arylation reactions once anchored on Pd nanoparticles. Polarized near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) measurements on Pd(111) revealed that NHCs that were associated with low enantioselectivity were characterized with a well-ordered structure, in which the imidazole ring was vertically positioned and the OH-functionalized side arms were flat-lying. OH-functionalized NHCs that were associated with high enantioselectivity revealed a disordered/flexible adsorption geometry, which potentially enabled better interaction between the OH group and the prochiral reactant.

Abstract
In the present review we survey the main advances made in recent years on the understanding of chemical chirality at solid surfaces. Chirality is an important topic, made particularly relevant by the homochiral nature of the biochemistry of life on Earth, and many chiral chemical reactions involve solid surfaces. Here we start our discussion with a description of surface chirality and of the different ways that chirality can be bestowed on solid surfaces. We then expand on the studies carried out to date to understand the adsorption of chiral compounds at a molecular level. We summarize the work published on the adsorption of pure enantiomers, of enantiomeric mixtures, and of prochiral molecules on chiral and achiral model surfaces, especially on well-defined metal single crystals but also on other flat substrates such as highly ordered pyrolytic graphite. Several phenomena are identified, including surface reconstruction and chiral imprinting upon adsorption of chiral agents, and the enhancement or suppression of enantioselectivity seen in some cases upon adsorption of enantiomixtures of chiral compounds. The possibility of enhancing the enantiopurity of adsorbed layers upon the addition of chiral seeds and the so-called "sergeants and soldiers" phenomenon are presented. Examples are provided where the chiral behavior has been associated with either thermodynamic or kinetic driving forces. Two main approaches to the creation of enantioselective surface sites are discussed, namely, via the formation of supramolecular chiral ensembles made out of small chiral adsorbates, and by adsorption of more complex chiral molecules capable of providing suitable chiral environments for reactants by themselves, via the formation of individual adsorbate:modifier adducts on the surface. Finally, a discussion is offered on the additional effects generated by the presence of the liquid phase often required in practical applications such as enantioselective crystallization, chiral chromatography, and enantioselective catalysis.

Abstract
We report about the mechanistic studies of the reaction between a newly synthesized (S)-2-((R)-3H-dinaphtho[2,1-c:1',2'-e]azepin-4(5H)-yl)-2-phenylethanol based on the binaphthyl skeleton and (E)-2-methyl-5-phenylpent-2-enoic acid for the asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated acids with heterogeneous palladium catalysts. The specific interactions between the chiral ligand and reactant were investigated in solution with palladium nanoparticles, as well as under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions on the palladium metal surface in the absence of hydrogen. The reactions were explored using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES) combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A NMR study identified the interaction between both molecules with palladium nanoparticles in solution. In addition, STM and HRPES studies revealed the spatial distribution and configuration of both compounds on the palladium metal surface under UHV conditions. The theoretical results support the experimental results with respect to the interaction energy value. It was found that the reaction between the ligand and reactant occurs with hydrogen bonding on palladium surface, simultaneously. The present study provides mechanistic details of the asymmetric hydrogenation reaction, which bears a correlation between the ligand, reactant, and catalyst during the reaction.

Abstract
Infrared absorption spectroscopy has proven to be one of the most powerful spectroscopic techniques available for the characterization of catalytic systems. Although the history of IR absorption spectroscopy in catalysis is long, the technique continues to provide key fundamental information about a variety of catalysts and catalytic reactions, and to also offer novel options for the acquisition of new information on both reaction mechanisms and the nature of the solids used as catalysts. In this review, an overview is provided of the main contributions that have been derived from IR absorption spectroscopy studies of catalytic systems, and a discussion is included on new trends and new potential directions of research involving IR in catalysis. We start by briefly describing the power of Fourier-transform IR (FTIR) instruments and the main experimental IR setups available, namely, transmission (TIR), diffuse reflectance (DRIFTS), attenuated total reflection (ATR-IR), and reflection-absorption (RAIRS), for advancing research in catalysis. We then discuss the different environments under which IR characterization of catalysts is carried out, including in situ and operando studies of typical catalytic processes in gas-phase, research with model catalysts in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and so-called high-pressure cell instruments, and work involving liquid/solid interfaces. A presentation of the type of information extracted from IR data follows in terms of the identification of adsorbed intermediates, the characterization of the surfaces of the catalysts themselves, the quantitation of IR intensities to extract surface coverages, and the use of probe molecules to identify and titrate specific catalytic sites. Finally, the different options for carrying out kinetic studies with temporal resolution such as rapid-scan FTIR, step-scan FTIR, and the use of tunable lasers or synchrotron sources, and to obtain spatially resolved spectra, by sample rastering or by 2D imaging, are introduced.

Abstract
Design and performance of a reactor set-up for attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy suitable for simultaneous reaction monitoring of bulk liquid and catalytic solid-liquid-gas interfaces under working conditions are presented. As advancement of in situ spectroscopy an operando methodology for gas-liquid-solid reaction monitoring was developed that simultaneously combines catalytic activity and molecular level detection at the catalytically active site of the same sample. Semi-batch reactor conditions are achieved with the analytical set-up by implementing the ATR-IR flow-through cell in a recycle reactor system and integrating a specifically designed gas feeding system coupled with a bubble trap. By the use of only one spectrometer the design of the new ATR-IR reactor cell allows for simultaneous detection of the bulk liquid and the catalytic interface during the working reaction. Holding two internal reflection elements (IRE) the sample compartments of the horizontally movable cell are consecutively flushed with reaction solution and pneumatically actuated, rapid switching of the cell (<1 s) enables to quasi simultaneously follow the heterogeneously catalysed reaction at the catalytic interface on a catalyst-coated IRE and in the bulk liquid on a blank IRE. For a complex heterogeneous reaction, the asymmetric hydrogenation of 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone on chirally modified Pt catalyst the elucidation of catalytic activity/enantioselectivity coupled with simultaneous monitoring of the catalytic solid-liquid-gas interface is shown. Both catalytic activity and enantioselectivity are strongly dependent on the experimental conditions. The opportunity to gain improved understanding by coupling measurements of catalytic performance and spectroscopic detection is presented. In addition, the applicability of modulation excitation spectroscopy and phase-sensitive detection are demonstrated.

Abstract
Examples from recent studies in our laboratory are presented to illustrate the main tools available to surface scientists for the determination of the kinetics of surface reactions. Emphasis is given here to hydrocarbon conversions and studies that rely on the use of model systems, typically single crystals and controlled (ultrahigh vacuum) environments. A detailed discussion is provided on the use of temperature-programmed desorption for the determination of activation energies as well as for product identification and yield estimations. Isothermal kinetic measurements are addressed next by focusing on studies under vacuum using molecular beams and surface-sensitive spectroscopies. That is followed by a review of the usefulness of high-pressure cells and other reactor designs for the emulation of realistic catalytic conditions. Finally, an analysis of the power of isotope labeling and chemical substitutions in mechanistic research on surface reactions is presented.

Abstract
Quinoline-derived compounds exhibit the following relative chemisorption strengths from CCl4 solutions onto platinum surfaces, as determined by in-situ infrared spectroscopy: quinine, quinidine > cinchonidine > cinchonine > 6-methoxyquinoline > lepidine > quinoline. This sequence explains nonlinear enantioselectivity effects with cinchona chiral modifiers in hydrogenation catalysis.

Abstract
In situ probing of liquid-solid interfaces is important for understanding heterogeneous liquid-phase catalysis and other interfacial phenomena, but the spectroscopic interference from the bulk is often a problem. Some organics may have infrared features overlapping the adsorbed CO peaks, making the determination of adsorbed CO difficult. In this study, CCl4-flushing was used as a novel diagnosing tool to pin down the low-coverage CO derived from decarbonylation of organics. This diagnosing tool was designed based on our in situ reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy results reported here that there is a marked solvent effect (water > ethanol > methanol > cyclohexane > benzene approximately carbon tetrachloride) on CO oxidation at the liquid-solid interface. Possible reasons for that solvent effect were discussed.

Abstract
Sum-frequency spectroscopy (SFS) has been used to probe the interface between a model catalyst support (Al(2)O(3)-coated CaF(2)) and liquid consisting of neat acetonitrile and acetonitrile in ethanol. Vibrational features associated with both CN stretching ( approximately 2242 and 2281) and C-H stretching ( approximately 2942 and 2989) are observed for adsorbed nitrile. The peak positions are only slightly shifted from the bulk values, indicating weak adsorption to the model support. In the case of the neat liquid, the C-H stretching vibrations have also been probed using various polarization combinations of the sum frequency, visible and infrared beams in order to determine the orientation of the nitrile with respect to the surface. The average molecular angle calculated ( approximately 39 degrees ) shows the off-normal alignment of acetonitrile on the surface of the model support. Finally, an attempt has been made to obtain qualitative information about the adsorption isotherm of acetonitrile on Al(2)O(3)/CaF(2). The lack of curvature in the isotherm indicates the lack of affinity for the surface by acetonitrile in ethanol.

Abstract
The adsorption and thermal chemistry of (S)-(+)-2-methylbutanoic acid ((S)-2MBA) on Pt(111) single-crystal surfaces was characterized by using temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and reflection-adsorption infrared (RAIRS) spectroscopies. Particular emphasis was placed on the characterization of the chiral superstructures formed upon the deposition of the submonolayer coverages of enantiopure (S)-2-methylbutanoate species that are produced by thermal dehydrogenation of the (S)-2MBA. The enantioselectivity of the empty platinum sites left open on those structures were identified by their difference in behavior toward the adsorption of the two enantiomers of propylene oxide. It was found that a significant enhancement in adsorption is possible on surfaces with the same chirality of the probe molecule, specifically that the uptake of (S)-propylene oxide is larger than that of (R)-propylene oxide on (S)-2-methylbutanoate adsorbed layers. This contrasts with the lack of enantioselectivity previously reported for the same adsorbate on Pd(111). Detectable differences in adsorption energetics of (R)- vs (S)-propylene oxide on the (S)-2-methylbutanoate/Pt(111) overlayers were measured but deemed not to be the controlling factor in the enantioselectivity reported in this system.

Abstract
The band-target entropy minimization (BTEM) curve resolution technique has been used to analyze in situ reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) data of CO chemisorption on Ni(111) single crystal surfaces. The bilinearity assumption for pRAIRS data, that is, negative logarithm to the base 10 of raw reflectance RAIRS data, was found to be sufficiently valid for the test data. A total of 11 real pure component pRAIRS spectra were elucidated via BTEM in tandem with an iterative residual spectral data analysis. Furthermore, 2 abstract pure component right singular vectors were found to account for all the pRAIRS non-linearities, baseline drifts and other spectral noise. In total, 100.2% of the pRAIRS signals were accounted for by these 13 spectral components. The 11 real pure component pRAIRS spectra and their corresponding relative concentration kinetic sequences correlate with 6 well-known adsorbed CO domain structures. Moreover, amongst the BTEM resolved spectra were five new bands that were not previously observed using conventional visual identification methods adopted by surface chemists. These new bands engendered new understanding to the mechanism of CO chemisorption on Ni(111). The combination of BTEM with residual spectral analysis was thus demonstrated to be efficacious for curve resolution of in situ RAIRS data obtained from surface chemistry studies.

Abstract
The asymmetric hydrogenation of alpha-ketoesters on cinchona-modified supported platinum particles is a prototype reaction in heterogeneous chiral catalysis. The catalysis literature shows that the reaction is highly metal-specific, that it displays rate-enhancement with respect to the racemic reaction on the nonmodified surface, and that the observed stereoselectivity is a sensitive function of substrate and modifier structure. This set of observations has proven difficult to rationalize within the context of existing models for the mechanism of the Orito reaction. The most widely discussed mechanistic models are based on the formation of chemisorbed 1:1 complexes through H-bonding between the quinuclidine function of the cinchona modifier and the prochiral, keto-carbonyl, function of the substrate. Recent surface science studies, as well as advances in the area of C-H...O hydrogen bonding, suggest that chemisorption-induced polarization may lead to an aromatic-carbonyl H-bonding interaction between the aromatic anchor of the modifier and the coadsorbed substrate. By specifying that the aromatic C-H...O interaction is to the prochiral carbonyl and that it is accompanied by a H-bonding interaction between the ester carbonyl and the quinuclidine function, we show that it is possible to rationalize essentially all of the catalysis literature for the Orito reaction in terms of a single molecular mechanism. The generality of the proposed mechanistic model is demonstrated by addressing data from the literature for a representative range of substrates, modifiers, solvents, and metals. Results of catalytic tests on an asymmetric diketone substrate are presented in support of the model.

Abstract
It is demonstrated that attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy coupled with multivariate data analysis can be effectively used for in situ investigation of supported catalyst-liquid interfaces. Both formaldehyde adsorption/dissociation in water and acetonitrile adsorption in hexane on thin (ca 10 mum) films of 5 wt % Pt/gamma-Al(2)O(3) deposited on a germanium waveguide have been investigated. The multivariate analysis applies classical least squares (CLS) and partial least squares (PLS) methods to the ATR-IR data in order to correlate spectral changes with known sources of experimental variation (i.e., time, concentration of solution species, etc.). The formaldehyde adsorption experiments revealed no spectroscopic evidence for adsorbed molecular formaldehyde under the conditions examined. However, the dissociation product carbon monoxide was observed to form in atop configuration on Pt, likely on edges and terrace sites. Isotope labeling experiments suggest that a pair of peaks observed at 1990 and 2060 cm(-)(1) during treatments of Pt in H(2)-saturated water arise at least in part from nu(Pt)(-)(H) stretching of adsorbed atomic hydrogen. Acetonitrile was found to adsorb on the Pt catalyst by sigma-bonding of the CN group with the platinum, yielding apparent surface peaks that are almost identical to that observed in the liquid phase. A peak at 1641 cm(-)(1) was observed which was assigned to the adsorption of the CN group in a tilted configuration involving a combination of end-on and pi interaction with the surface. This species was found to be reactive toward hydrogen, suggesting that it might play a role in nitrile hydrogenation. The prospects of using this approach to examine solid-catalyzed liquid-phase reactions are discussed in light of these findings.

Abstract
The adsorption and thermal chemistry of 2-butanol and propylene oxide, each individually and when coadsorbed together, were characterized on Pt(111) single-crystal surfaces by using temperature programmed desorption and reflection-adsorption infrared spectroscopies. The formation of chiral superstructures on the surface upon the deposition of submonolayer coverages of enantiopure 2-butoxide species, produced by thermal dehydrogenation of 2-butanol, was highlighted by their difference in behavior toward the adsorption of the two enantiomers of propylene oxide. It was found that a significant enhancement in adsorption is possible on surfaces with the same chirality of the probe molecule, that is, for (R)-propylene oxide adsorption on (R)-2-butoxide layers and for (S)-propylene oxide adsorption on (S)-2-butoxide layers. The propylene oxide probe was found to also adsorb with the ring closer to the surface in those cases. Finally, less butoxide decomposition is seen at higher temperatures from the homochiral pairing, presumably because the coadsorbed propylene oxide forces the alkoxides into a more compact and better packed structure on the surface.

Abstract
The role of chemical kinetics in defining the requirements for the active sites of heterogeneous catalysts is discussed. A personal view is presented, with specific examples from our laboratory to illustrate the role of the chemical composition, structure, and electronic properties of specific surface sites in determining reaction activity and selectivity. Manipulation of catalytic behavior via the addition of chemical modifiers and by tuning of the reaction conditions is also introduced.

Abstract
The role that the nature of the solvent plays in defining the extent of cinchona alkaloid adsorption-desorption equilibrium on platinum surfaces has been studied both by testing their solubility in 54 different solvents and by probing the stability of adsorbed cinchona in the presence of those solvents. The solubilities vary by as much as 5-6 orders of magnitude, display volcano-type correlations with solvent polarity and dielectric constant, and follow a cinchonine < cinchonidine < quinine, quinidine sequence. The adsorption-desorption equilibrium shifts toward the solution with increasing dissolving power of the solvent. The relevance of these results to the behavior of cinchona as chiral modifiers in hydrogenation catalysis is discussed.
