Manipulating O2 activation via nanosynthetic chemistry is critical in many oxidation reactions central to environmental remediation and chemical synthesis. Based on a carefully-designed plasmonic Ru/TiO2–x catalyst, we first report a room-temperature O2 dissociation and spillover mechanism that expedites the "dream reaction" of selective primary C–H bond activation. Under visible light, surface plasmons excited in the negatively-charged Ru nanoparticles decay into hot electrons, triggering spontaneous O2 dissociation to reactive atomic •O. Acceptor-like oxygen vacancies confined at the Ru-TiO2 interface free Ru from oxygen-poisoning by kinetically boosting the spillover of •O from Ru to TiO2. Evidenced by an exclusive isotopic O-transfer fr...
