Abstract
Computations employing density functional theory on the reactions between ethyne and the model compounds (HE)3M identical to M(EH)3, where M = Mo and W and E = O and S, predict that the alkyne adducts M2(mu-C2H2)(EH)6 are thermodynamically favored with respect to the metathesis products HC identical to M(EH)3 except when M = W and E = O; the reaction between (tBuO)3 W identical to CPh and 2-MeC6H4SH (> 3 equiv.) yields W2(mu-PhCCPh)(SC6H4-2-Me)6 consistent with expectations based on the calculations.
