Abstract: , 96.5% selectivity), demonstrating its potential for industrial applications. Mechanistic investigations reveal a synergistic donor-acceptor interaction wherein the interlayer Ni sites modulate the electronic structure of the intralayer Co active centers, thereby optimizing the d-band center and facilitating the formation of the critical *COOH intermediate. This study establishes a powerful atom programming strategy for bimetallic sites within crystalline materials, paving the way toward designing catalysts with spatially controlled, multi-atomic architectures for complex chemical transformations.
