Abstract
Alkylidyne ligands undergo coupling with several types of terminal π bonded ligands, such as carbonyl, isocyanide, and alkylidyne ligands, under a variety of conditions. The different coupling mechanisms may be rationalized by a simple qualitative molecular orbital model. In our own work we investigated examples of nucleophile-induced alkylidyne-carbonyl coupling, light-induced alkylidyne-carbonyl coupling, assisted by nucleophiles as well as by electrophiles, proton-induced alkylidyne-isocyanide coupling, and the formal coupling of two alkylidyne ligands.
