Inspired from bimetallic active sites in both enzymes and heterogeneous catalysts, the development of binuclear catalysis can offer the potential to induce novel intermediates, reactivity, and selectivity. Here the authors report a dimerization-hydrocarbofunctionalization of internal alkynes via dinickel catalysis, leading to the formation of pentasubstituted 1,3-dienes.
