Abstract
Inorganic solids are a kind of important catalysts, and their activities usually come from sparse active sites, which are structurally different from inactive bulk. Therefore, the rational optimization of activity depends on studying these active sites. Copper is a widely used catalyst and is expected to be a promising catalyst for the electroreduction of CO

, and no obvious degradation was observed over 50 h of continuous operation. Comparing the properties and mechanisms of Cuophen and 2 other copper complexes with different Cu···Cu distances, we found that the shorter Cu···Cu distance is conducive not only for a *CO species to bridge 2 copper ions into a more stable intermediate transition state but also for C–C coupling.

Abstract
The flat binuclear [Cu2(L)2Cl2] (HL = (1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)methanol) was studied by mass spectrometry and DFT calculations. Particularly, it shows strong antiferromagnetism with g = 2.20, J = −465 cm−1 and zj = −0.83 cm−1.
