Abstract

The versatile role of alkoxide ligands in the development of organotransition metal chemistry is illustrated in the chemistry of M2(OR)6 compounds (M = Mo or W) with particular emphasis on the activation of carbon monoxide, alkynes, ethene and allene. The specific selection of R allows for the tuning of reactivity as a result of the influence of steric and electronic factors.
