Direct coupling of alkanes via C?H activation of terminal methyl groups has acquired tremendous interests both scientifically and technically. Herein we present the results of linear alkane-coupling at the step edges of Cu surfaces at modulated temperatures. Combining the observations of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with density functional theory plus dispersion (DFT-D) calculations, we elucidate the mechanism of the reaction and demonstrate that the low activation barrier relies on heterogeneous catalysis at the upper step edges, where low-coordinated surface atoms are present. We further reveal the generality of the reaction, so that it can be applied on the step edges of different facets of surfaces.
Because a catalyst decreases the height of the energy barrier, its presence increases the reaction rates of both the forward and the reverse reactions by the same amount.Read on for other articles about 4923-87-9
