title: Dimerization of terminal alkynes catalyzed by a nickel complex having a bulky phosphine ligand.
abstract: Ni(cod)(2)/P(t)Bu(3) system catalyzed the dimerization of terminal alkynes to give (E)-head-to-head dimerization products, in which the stannylacetylene dimer could be applied to a one-pot synthesis of a conjugated enyne, when combined with Migita-Stille coupling.
