Alkyne metathesis on the rise.

TL;DR: The early years of alkyne metathesis were marked by a somewhat ironic state of affairs: the proposed mechanism was swiftly validated and more than one effective catalyst became available shortly after the discovery of this transformation; surprisingly, however, the impact on synthesis remained very limited for a long period of time.

Alkyne Metathesis: Catalysts and Synthetic Applications

TL;DR: Alkyne metathesis has been studied extensively in the literature as mentioned in this paper, with an emphasis on comparing strengths and weaknesses of different types of catalysts, including two heterogeneous ones.

The alkoxide ligand in olefin and acetylene metathesis reactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of alkoxides as ancillary ligands in the organometallic chemistry and catalysis of the early transition metals is reviewed, including acetylene metathesis, olefin metathes, ring-opening metatheses polymerization, and polymerization of alkynes.

Optimized synthesis, structural investigations, ligand tuning and synthetic evaluation of silyloxy-based alkyne metathesis catalysts.

TL;DR: Structural and reactivity data suggest that this promising application profile results from a favorable match between the characteristics of the high-valent molybdenum center and the electronic and steric features of the chosen Ar(3)SiO groups, which ensures a well-balanced level of Lewis acidity at the central atom, which is critical for high activity.

Recent Advances in the Chemistry of Metal-Carbon Triple Bonds

TL;DR: The first transition-metal carbyne complexes were synthesized in Fischer's laboratory by the treatment of alkoxycarbene pentacarbonyl metal complexes of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten with boron trihalides as mentioned in this paper.

Mononuclear and Polynuclear Chemistry of Rhenium (III): Its Pronounced Homophilicity

TL;DR: Trivalent rhenium is strongly homophilic—that is, it tends to form bonds to other Re111 atoms—and it forms at least three different series of [ReX4]nn- complexes, some containing trinuclear clusters.

Metal-Metal Bonds and Metal Carbon Bonds in the Chemistry of Molybdenum and Tungsten Alkoxides.

TL;DR: Alkoxide ligands may act as four or two electron donor ligands and may readily change between terminal and bridging sites as mentioned in this paper, which allows for the facile interconnversion of saturated and unsaturated metal centers.
