Selective C–C coupling of oxygenates is pertinent to the manufacture of fuel and chemical products from biomass and from derivatives of C1 compounds (i.e., oxygenates produced from methane and CO2). Here we report a combined experimental and theoretical study on the temperature-programmed reaction (...
