Efficiently utilizing alkanes as the precursors to realize various chemical reaction processes is challenging due to the inertness of alkane C-H bonds. We report here the selective C-H activation and C-C coupling reaction of linear alkanes on Au-covered Ag(110) surfaces. Based on density functional theory calculations, thin gold films with a thickness of several atomic layers deposited on Ag(110) resemble the bulk Au(110) surface for alkane C-H bond activation. By using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) we have observed that, instead of linear C-C coupling on unalloyed Au(110), alkane molecules desorb from Ag(110) surfaces at elevated temperatures. The featured missing-row (1 x 2) reconstruction of Au(110) surfaces has been obtained by deposition of similar to 20 ML (
