Surface reactions are important in many catalytic processes, and their kinetics are the focus of intensive research. One of the problems in these studies is that many of the techniques used require high vacuum, so reaction conditions, especially pressure, are often unrealistic. Rotermund et al. (p. 608) have developed optical techniques that allow the real-time observation of reaction kinetics of carbon monoxide oxidation on a platinum surface from high vacuum to atmospheric pressures. They also observed new phenomena in pattern formation.
