title: Unexpected bond activation of small organic molecules on a metal oxide-butane/CaO(100).
abstract: We present the first example of bond activation of small alkanes (n-/iso-butane) on a metal oxide surface--CaO(100)--at ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions and at low surface temperatures studied by molecular beam scattering and thermal desorption spectroscopy.
