We have successfully achieved the stereoselective synthesis of a specific cis-diene moiety through a dehalogenative homocoupling of alkenyl bromides on the Cu(110) surface, where the formation of a cis-form organometallic intermediate is the key to such a stereoselectivity as determined by DFT calculations.
