A simple hydrido‐cobaltcomplex efficiently catalyses the highly regio‐ and stereoselective dimerisation of various terminal arylacetylenes under mild conditions. The corresponding (E)‐1,4‐enynes are obtained as sole isomers with good to excellent yields. DFT calculations revealed that the reaction proceeds via a CH activation/hydrocobaltation pathway.

A counterion-controlled reactivity tuning in Pd-catalyzed highly chemoselective and regioselective dimerization and hydration of terminalalkynes is reported. The use of acetate as counterion favors the formation of an alkenyl alkynyl palladium intermediate which forms hitherto less reported 1,3-diaryl-substituted conjugated enynes after reductive elimination. Using chloride, which is a better leaving
regio- and stereochemical reaction outcome. Mechanistic studies suggest that a double μ–κ:η2 acetylide bridging enables a bimetallic syn-carbometalation. Interestingly, depending on the reaction conditions, it is also possible to form the geminal regioisomer as major product with the same catalyst. This regiodivergent outcome is explained by bi- versus monometallic reaction pathways.
