However, metal complex catalysts have challenges in their structural stability and it has not been possible to synthesize high-value-added C 3 products due to their inability to perform C\u2013C coupling. Here we show a CO 2 reduction reaction catalysed by a Br-bridged dinuclear Cu(I) complex that produces C 3 H 7 OH with high robustness during the reaction. The C\u2013C coupling reaction mechanism was analysed by experimental operando surface-enhanced Raman scattering analysis, and theoretical quantum-chemical calculations proposed the formation of a C\u2013C coupling intermediate species with substrate incorporation between the two Cu centres. Molecular design guidelines based on this discovery offer an approach to developing next-generation catalysts that generate multicarbon CO 2 reduction products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>DOI:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"b-doi\">10.1038\/s41929-024-01147-y<\/div>\n<h4>Authors:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"b-author\">Naonari Sakamoto, Keita Sekizawa, Soichi Shirai, Takamasa Nonaka, Takeo Arai, Shunsuke Sato, Takeshi Morikawa<\/div>\n<h4>Abstract:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"b-intro\">Abstract Molecular metal complex catalysts are highly tunable in terms of their CO 2 reduction performance by means of their flexible molecular design.
