Codimer (II) can be used as a high energy fuel or a diluent for such a fuel. Process for making codimer (I) involves reacting norbornadiene and phenylacetylene or diphenylacetylene with a catalyst system of cobaltic or cobaltous acetylacetonate, 1,2-bisdiphenylphosphino ethane and an alkyl aluminum chloride.
