Distinguishing Alternative Reaction Pathways by Single‐Molecule Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Abstract

Focus on chemical transitions: Epoxidation of a double bond in conjugation to a fluorescent dye was studied at single-molecule level. Direct observation of oxirane formation, indicated as a spectral shift from substrate to product state, revealed an alternative reaction pathway for the epoxidation reaction.
