One of the most heavily studied examples of enantioselective heterogeneous catalysis is the hydrogenation of beta-ketoesters over chirally modified Ni catalysts. We use scanning tunneling microscopy to investigate the interaction of the simplest beta-ketoester, methylacetoacetate, with Ni{111} surfaces premodified with (S)-glutamic acid. The behavior of methylacetoacetate is strongly dependent on the initial modifier coverage. At an intermediate (S)-glutamic acid coverage, two distinct domains are identified which correspond to ordered arrangements of glutamate and methylacetoacetate in different stoichiometric ratios. The implications of our findings for enantioselective catalysis are discussed.
