The homo-and co-dimerization of alkenes are important methods for generating higher alkenes, which are a source of new kinds of polymers, lubricants, detergents, and many other useful chemicals.[1] Considerable attention has recently been focused on these reactions, because of the demand for atomefficient organic syntheses, that is, all of the atoms in the starting materials are incorporated into the products (100% atom economy).[2]The first transition-metal complexes that were shown to catalyze the homo-dimerization of styrenes were based on palladium.[3] Later, nickel-[4] and zirconium-based [5] catalyst systems were shown to be effective for this dimerization reaction, and these generally gave head-to-tail dimers, namely (E)-1, 3-diaryl-1-butenes. There has been only one previous example of head-to-head dimerization to give (E)-1, 4-diaryl-1-butene: Kretschmer etal.[6] reported that the use of a bis (indenyl) yttrium hydride as the catalyst gave such a dimerization. However, their catalyst is unstable towards air and moisture.
