Rock‐and‐roll over hot floors : Theoretical modeling of the first activation stages of a Cu complex (see picture) on top of a heated surface (750 K) revealed two mobility regimes, a slow “bump‐and‐rock” diffusion over the surface and a fast “roll‐and‐go” motion accompanied by significant temperature‐induced bond oscillations. This study enables a deeper insight into “hot” surface molecular activation processes.
