We report on femtosecond laser-induced catalytic reactions of carbon monoxide and hydrogen on single crystal surfaces under high vacuum conditions. Several product molecules are synthesized, among them also species for whose formation at least three reactants are required. By applying closed-loop optimal control, we manipulate these reactions and selectively optimize the ratio of different bond-forming reaction channels, in contrast to previous quantum control experiments aiming at bond-cleavage. Further experiments explore the nontrivial control mechanism and its sensitivity to the relative proportion of the two reactant gases.
