Popis: The in situ synthesis of new alkyne metathesis catalysts is described, with particular emphasis on the search for tris-alkoxytungsten-based terminal alkyne metathesis. In that context, hemilabile, ether-containing alkoxy ligands have proved to be suitable and have led to the design and use of a sterically hindered hemilable ligand for the synthesis of a well-defined binuclear, triple-bonded W≡W complex. This complex is shown to be a highly active and selective catalyst precursor for terminal alkyne metathesis, and allows the unprecedented metathesis of phenylacetylene.
