Controlling the reaction selectivity of a heterobifunctional molecule is a fundamental challenge in many catalytic processes. Recent efforts to design chemoselective catalysts have focused on modifying the surface of metal nanoparticle materials having tunable properties. However, precise control over the surface properties of base-metal oxide catalysts remains a challenge. Here, we show that green modification of the surface with carboxylates can be used to tune the ammoxidation selectivity tow ...[more]
