Like a pearl in a shell, the formic‐acid proton at the TiO2 anatase(101) surface is concealed from experiments and protected from attacks by bases. This is caused by quantum delocalization at low temperatures and molecule‐to‐surface proton shuttling at room temperature, as reported by E.

Abstract
Like a pearl in a shell, the formic‐acid proton at the TiO2 anatase(101) surface is concealed from experiments and protected from attacks by bases. This is caused by quantum delocalization at low temperatures and molecule‐to‐surface proton shuttling at room temperature, as reported by E. Fois and co‐workers in their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201906709).
