Electrochemical CO/CO2 reduction to multicarbon species represents an exciting approach to synthesize valuable products, but controllably linking three or more carbons remains a challenge. Now the pathway towards C–C coupling beyond two carbons has been shown using a probe reactant strategy to afford a 53% the selectivity towards C3+ oxygenates.
