Abstract

Triphenylsilanolate ligands were found to impart excellent reactivity and outstanding functional group tolerance on molybdenum alkylidyne complexes, which catalyze alkyne metathesis reactions of all sorts. The active species either can be obtained in high yield by adaptation of the established synthesis routes leading to Schrock alkylidynes or can be generated in situ from the molybdenum nitride complex 11, which itself is readily ...
