title: Single-molecule chemistry and analysis: mode-specific dehydrogenation of adsorbed propene by inelastic electron tunneling.
abstract: A single propene molecule, located in the junction between the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and a Cu(211) surface can be dehydrogenated by inelastic electron tunneling. This reaction requires excitation of the asymmetric C-H stretching vibration of the ═CH(2) group. The product is then identified by inelastic electron tunneling action spectroscopy (IETAS).
