The N‐heterocyclic carbene palladium complex (SIPr)Pd(cinnamyl)Cl [SIPr= N , N′ ‐bis(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)‐4,5‐dihydroimidazol‐2‐ylidene) promotes regio‐ and stereospecific dimerization of a variety of arylalkynes to give ( E )‐1,3‐enynes in good to excellent yields. An efficient and practical procedure for their synthesis was developed using a biphasic aqueous alkali/heptane system. Optical and electronic properties of ( E )‐1,3‐enynes are highly tunable. Depending on the nature of the substituents, HOMO energies vary in the range 5.3–6.0 eV. ( E )‐1,3‐Enynes can exhibit intense photoluminescence in the spectral region 350–500 nm.
