We present a novel approach to surface chemistry studies using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), where dissociation of molecules adsorbed on metal surfaces is induced nonlocally in a 10-100 nm radius around the STM tip by hot electrons that originate from the STM tip and transport on the surface. Nonlocal molecular excitation eliminates the influence of the STM tip on the outcome of the electron-induced chemical reaction. The spatial attenuation of the nonlocal reaction is used as a direct measure of hot-electron transport on the surface.
