Direct evidence for ligand-enhanced activity of Cu(I) sites
Little is known about the strong mediating effect of ligand sphere and coordination geometry on the strength and isotopologue selective adsorption of hydrogen adsorption on the undercoordinated copper (I) site. Here, we explore this effect using gas-phase complexes Cu⁺(H₂O)(H₂)ₙ (with n ≤ 3) as…
