Organometallic Submonolayers on Bulk Oxides: Single-Site Catalyst Synthesis By Atomic Layer Deposition

We report the development of single-site catalysts via atomic layer deposition (ALD) of organometallic precursors on inorganic oxide surfaces, employing a high-throughput ALD-Catalysis screening tool. This approach allows for the systematic comparison of reactivity of bulk materials with single-site species for reductive and oxidative alkane transformations.
