Abstract
We report on atom-specific activation of CO oxidation on Ru(0001) via resonant X-ray excitation. We show that resonant 1s core-level excitation of atomically adsorbed oxygen in the co-adsorbed phase of CO and oxygen directly drives CO oxidation. We separate this direct resonant channel from indirectly driven oxidation via X-ray induced substrate heating. Based on density functional theory calculations, we identify the valence-excited state created by the Auger decay as the driving electronic state for direct CO oxidation. We utilized the fresh-slice multi-pulse mode at the Linac Coherent Light Source that provided time-overlapped and 30 fs delayed pairs of soft X-ray pulses and discuss the prospects of femtosecond X-ray pump X-ray spectroscopy probe, as well as X-ray two-pulse correlation measurements for fundamental investigations of chemical reactions via selective X-ray excitation.

Abstract
Confinement of hot electrons in metal nanoparticles (NPs) is expected to lead to increased reactivity in heterogeneous catalysis. NP size as well as support may influence molecule-NP coupling. Here, we use ultrafast nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy to follow energy transfer from hot electrons generated in Pd NP/MgO/Ag(100) to chemisorbed CO. Photoexcitation and photodesorption occur on an ultrashort time scale and are selective according to adsorption site. When the MgO layer is thick enough, it becomes NP size-dependent. Hot electron confinement within NPs is unfavorable for photodesorption, presumably because its dominant effect is to increase relaxation to phonons. An avenue of research is open where NP size and support thickness, photon energy, and molecular electronic structure will be tuned to obtain either molecular stability or reactivity in response to photon excitation.
