title: Rhodium-catalysed anomalous dimerization of styrenes involving the cleavage of the ortho C-H bond.
abstract: The dimerization of styrene derivatives in the presence of a rhodium catalyst proceeds to give stilbene derivatives, in which the ortho C-H bond of styrenes is cleaved and functionalized.
