The catalytic conversion of thiophene derivatives on individual zeolite ZSM‐5 crystals was studied by using a combination of multiplex coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and synchrotron‐based IR microscopy. In their Communication on page 8990 ff. , B. M. Weckhuysen et al. show how label‐free chemical imaging of reactant/reaction products can be achieved with high spatial resolution. Vibrational bands in the CARS and IR spectra evidenced interaction of thiophenes with the zeolite framework, followed by ring opening.
