Abstract
Transition metals form a variety of alkylidyne complexes with either a d0 metal center (high-valent) or a non-d0 metal center (low-valent). One of the most interesting properties of alkylidyne complexes is that they can undergo or mediate metathesis reactions. The most well-studied metathesis reactions are alkyne metathesis involving high-valent alkylidynes. High-valent alkylidynes can also undergo metathesis reactions with heterotriple bonded species such as N≡CR, P≡CR, and N≡NR+. Metathesis reactions involving low-valent alkylidynes are less known. Highly efficient alkyne metathesis catalysts have been developed based on Mo(VI) and W(VI) alkylidynes. Catalytic cross-metathesis of nitriles with alkynes has also been achieved with M(VI) (M = W, Mo) alkylidyne or nitrido complexes. The metathesis activity of alkylidyne complexes is sensitively dependent on metals, supporting ligands and substituents of alkylidynes. Beyond metathesis, metal alkylidynes can also promote other reactions including alkyne polymerization. The remaining shortcomings and opportunities in the field are assessed.

Abstract
A family of d2 Re(V) alkylidyne complexes bearing two decorated phosphino-phenolates (POs) and a labile pyridine ligand were prepared that can efficiently promote alkyne metathesis reactions in toluene. The relative activity of these complexes varies with the PO ligands. Complexes with an electron-rich metal center have a higher activity. Ligand exchange experiments suggest that the pyridine ligands of the Re(V) alkylidynes with more electron-donating PO ligands are more labile and are more easily released to generate catalytically active species. However, complexes with electron-withdrawing PO ligands are more air-stable than those with electron-donating PO ligands. These Re(V) alkylidyne catalysts can promote the homometathesis of functionalized internal alkyl- and aryl-alkynes, as well as ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) of methyl-capped diynes, forming macrocycles with a ring size ≥12 efficiently for concentrations ≤5 mM. These reactions represent the first examples of RCAM mediated by non-d0 alkylidyne complexes. The Re(V) alkylidyne catalysts tolerate a wide range of functional groups including ethers, esters, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, phenols, amines, amides, and heterocycles. Moreover, the catalytic RCAM reactions promoted by robust Re(V) alkylidyne catalysts could also proceed normally in wet toluene.

Abstract
![]()
For numerous enabling features and strategic virtues, contemporary
alkyne metathesis is increasingly recognized as a formidable synthetic
tool. Central to this development was the remarkable evolution of
the catalysts during the past decades. Molybdenum alkylidynes carrying
(tripodal) silanolate ligands currently set the standards; their functional
group compatibility is exceptional, even though they comprise an early
transition metal in its highest oxidation state. Their performance
is manifested in case studies in the realm of dynamic covalent chemistry,
advanced applications to solid-phase synthesis, a revival of transannular
reactions, and the assembly of complex target molecules at sites,
which one may not intuitively trace back to an acetylenic ancestor.
In parallel with these innovations in material science and organic
synthesis, new insights into the mode of action of the most advanced
catalysts were gained by computational means and the use of unconventional
analytical tools such as 95Mo and 183W NMR spectroscopy.
The remaining shortcomings, gaps, and desiderata in the field are
also critically assessed.

Abstract
![]()
A new family of structurally well-defined
molybdenum alkylidyne
catalysts for alkyne metathesis, which is distinguished by a tripodal
trisilanolate ligand architecture, is presented. Complexes of type 1 combine the virtues of previous generations of silanolate-based
catalysts with a significantly improved functional group tolerance.
They are easy to prepare on scale; the modularity of the ligand synthesis
allows the steric and electronic properties to be fine-tuned and hence
the application profile of the catalysts to be optimized. This opportunity
is manifested in the development of catalyst 1f, which
is as reactive as the best ancestors but exhibits an unrivaled scope.
The new catalysts work well in the presence of unprotected alcohols
and various other protic groups. The chelate effect entails even a
certain stability toward water, which marks a big leap forward in
metal alkylidyne chemistry in general. At the same time, they tolerate
many donor sites, including basic nitrogen and numerous heterocycles.
This aspect is substantiated by applications to polyfunctional (natural)
products. A combined spectroscopic, crystallographic, and computational
study provides insights into structure and electronic character of
complexes of type 1. Particularly informative are a density
functional theory (DFT)-based chemical shift tensor analysis of the
alkylidyne carbon atom and 95Mo NMR spectroscopy; this
analytical tool had been rarely used in organometallic chemistry before
but turns out to be a sensitive probe that deserves more attention.
The data show that the podand ligands render a Mo-alkylidyne a priori
more electrophilic than analogous monodentate triarylsilanols; proper
ligand tuning, however, allows the Lewis acidity as well as the steric
demand about the central atom to be adjusted to the point that excellent
performance of the catalyst is ensured.

Abstract
Although alkyne metathesis has been known for 50 years, rapid progress in this field has mostly occurred during the last two decades. In this article, the development of several highly efficient and thoroughly studied alkyne metathesis catalysts is reviewed, which includes novel well-defined, in situ formed and heterogeneous systems. Various alkyne metathesis methodologies, including alkyne cross-metathesis (ACM), ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM), cyclooligomerization, acyclic diyne metathesis polymerization (ADIMET), and ring-opening alkyne metathesis polymerization (ROAMP), are presented, and their application in natural product synthesis, materials science as well as supramolecular and polymer chemistry is discussed. Recent progress in the metathesis of diynes is also summarized, which gave rise to new methods such as ring-closing diyne metathesis (RCDM) and diyne cross-metathesis (DYCM).
