Popis: 1. According to data from nonempirical calculations, the reactivity of alkali metal acetylenide molecules toward electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents increases relative to the acetylene molecule. 2. The vinylidene forms MHC=C rearrange to MC=CH in a barrier-free manner as a result of migration of the alkali metal atom. Acetylenides are structurally nonrigid molecules due to the quasifree motion of the alkali metal atom (but not of the H atom). 3. The nonrigidity of the alkali metal carbide molecules is connected with the possibility of synchronous shift of the metal atoms.
