Come to Potsdam this Summer π to discuss the broad field of elementary processes of light-driven reactions at nanoscale metals!

The O2-inhibited, oxidized spectrum shows weakly absorbing CN bands (at higher frequencies) and strong CO band(s). The H2-reduced spectrum, however, reveals CN bands stronger than the CO bands...
