Dominant Part

Diffusion processes play a dominant part in the macro kinetics of Fe, Ni and Co oxidation by calcium and sodium sulfates. Here, the reaction product forms a compact covering which spatially divides the reagents on the surface in the same way as in the oxidation and sulfidization of metals by oxygen and sulfur. Therefore, it is possible to assume in advance that interaction of metals with calcium and sodium sulfates will be determined not by the actual chemical reaction properly but by the diffusion transport processes.

Reversible Formation

Carbon deposits are well-known inhibitors of transition metal catalysts. In contrast to this undesirable behavior, here we show that epitaxial graphene grown on Ru(0001) promotes the reversible formation of a C–C bond between −CH2CN and 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ). The catalytic role of graphene is multifaceted: First, it allows for an efficient charge transfer between the surface and the reactants, thus favoring changes in carbon hybridization; second, it holds the reactants in place and makes them reactive. The reaction is fully reversible by injecting electrons with an STM tip on the empty molecular orbitals of the product. The making and breaking of the C–C bond is accompanied by the switching off and on of a Kondo resonance, so that the system can be viewed as a reversible magnetic switch controlled by a chemical reaction.
