“…The plasmon can be considered as one the most groundbreaking approach for the activation of organic reactions. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Nowadays, plasmon activation has been widely applied for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, [9][10][11] hydrogenation, [12][13][14][15] cycloaddition, 16,17 oxidative reactions, [18][19][20] polymerization, [21][22][23] methane reforming, 24 and so forth, whereby the utilization of plasmon allows achieving good yield of desired compounds under extremely mild conditions. Nevertheless, despite these impressive advances, the exact mechanism of plasmon activation of organic compounds has not been fully described yet.…”
