Abstract
An alkylidyne molybdenum amide complex is attached to nontoxic, amorphous silica to form a highly active, recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for alkyne metathesis. The catalyst does not undergo alkyne polymerization, can be utilized at a loading of <1 mol % at room temperature, and has shown unprecedented metathesis activity for the homodimerization of 2-propynylthiophene, a substrate that was previously problematic for alkyne metathesis.
