Abstract
Conjugated and non-conjugated polyenes are important substructures and are often found in biologically active compounds and natural products. Their preparation often needs multiple steps or iterative reactions and as a result, they have poor step economies. In this feature article, we show a new methodology to prepare these substructures by combinations of cross-dimerisation giving borylated polyenes and subsequent cross-coupling reactions. This divergent reaction strategy allows for the opportunity to access many bioactive compounds and natural products as well as some electronic materials.

Abstract
New direct access to conjugated tetraenes has been achieved. A Ru(0)-catalysed reaction of 1,3-enynes with 1,3-dienes gives 1,3,5,7-octatetraene derivatives by formal regioselective insertion of the alkynyl group of 1,3-enynes into the terminal C-H bond in 1,3-dienes. With a silyl substituent on the alkynyl side in 1,3-enynes, the reaction regioselectively proceeds to give the linear cross-dimerisation product having the silyl group at the internal position. Stoichiometric and DFT calculations support the oxidative coupling mechanism for the linear cross-dimerisation. Methyl (2E,4E,6E,8E)-10-hydroxy-2,4,6,8-decatetraenoate, a versatile polyene intermediate, is accessed by this method as a formal synthesis of biologically active compounds.

Abstract
An intermolecular hydrogen migration from dibutadienylpyridine to dialkynylthiophene catalysed by [Ru(η6-naphthalene)(η4-oxa-bnd)] (oxa-bnd = 9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nona-2,6-diene) produces poly(dialkynylthiophene-alt-dibutadienylpyridine). The exact alternating copolymerisation nature is shown by MALDI-TOF MS.

Abstract
Ru(0)-catalysed cross-dimerisation and -trimerisation give a series of di- and triheteroaryl compounds cross-linked by π-conjugated trienyl groups. Their photochemical behaviour is studied using UV-visible absorption spectra, fluorescence emission spectra, and TD-DFT calculations. The cross-trimer prepared from 2,5-dialkynylthiophene with 2 equiv. of 2-butadienylpyridine shows a longer wavelength shift in the absorption maximum than the cross-trimer prepared from dialkynylbenzene with 1-phenylbutadiene. The solvent effect and the TD-DFT calculations suggest that the planarity of the π-conjugated system contributes more than spontaneous polarization. Namely, in the 5-membered thiophene ring, the conjugated trienyl group extends in the same plane (dihedral angle: -4.0°) as the thienyl group, whereas in the 6-membered benzene ring, the planarity is reduced due to steric hindrance (dihedral angle: -24.1°). Thus, the cross-trimers with a 5-membered heteroaryl centre contribute to longer wavelengths of absorption and fluorescence emission due to the increased planarity of the conjugated trienyl groups.

Abstract
A traditional cobalt catalyst system still contains undiscovered reactivity. Depending on the tertiary phosphines and substrates used, the catalytic system using CoBr2/tertiary phosphine/Zn/ZnI2 catalyzes divergent cycloadditions of internal alkynes with conjugated dienes, yielding 3-alkenylcyclobut-1-enes, bicyclo[3.1.0]hexenes, and cyclohexa-1,4-dienes. A [CoBr2(PPh3)2]/Zn/ZnI2-catalyzed reaction of 3-hexyne (1a) with 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)butadiene (2a) at room temperature in CH2Cl2 exclusively produces a [2 + 2] cycloaddition product (E)-2-(2,3-diethylcyclobut-2-ene-1-yl)vinyl-4-methoxybenzene (3aa). When [CoBr2(dppp)]/Zn/ZnI2 is used as a catalyst, a bicyclic compound 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-diethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene (4aa) is dominantly formed in a 77% yield. The CoBr2/dppe/Zn/ZnI2 system can undergo a [2 + 4] cycloaddition to yield 3-(4-anisyl)-1,2-diethylcyclohexa-1,4-diene (5aa) as the dominant product in 38% yield. The bite angles of the ligands used contribute significantly to this catalytic diversity.
