Determining catalytic activity and reaction kinetics are key issues in catalysis research and analytical applications. In their Communication on page 7592 ff. , J. Kneipp et al. describe the mapping of the kinetics of a catalytic reaction using surface‐enhanced Raman scattering. The proximity of gold and platinum nanoparticles simultaneously immobilized on a glass surface enables interaction of the molecules with the platinum nanoparticles while they reside in the local optical fields of the gold nanoparticles.
