Oktyabrya, 450075 Ufa, Russian Federation   A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Article history:   The high activity and selectivity of H‐Beta and H‐ZSM‐12 zeolites in the dimerization of norbornene Received 5 September 2014 was established. The norbornene conversion reached 100% in chlorinated paraffin and argon gas Accepted 12 November 2014 medium, with a selectivity of dimer formation of 88%–98%. Four stereo‐isomers of the Published 20 March 2015 bis‐2,2’‐norbornylidene structure were identified in the dimer fraction, with the (Z)‐anti‐bis‐2,2’‐ norbornylidene prevailing over the others.
