The chemistry of alkynyl and alkyne ligands in platinum complexes of different oxidation
states is described. The review focuses on the synthetic aspects of mono-and polynuclear …

Mononuclear, binuclear, and trinuclear transition-metal allenyl and/or propargyl complexes
are reviewed with respect to methods of synthesis, structure, and reaction chemistry …

Relativistic effects are of major importance for understanding the properties of heavier atoms
and molecules. Volumes I-III of Relativistic Theory of Atoms and Molecules constitute the …

The reaction of the alkyl complexes Cp* 2LnCH (SiMe3) 2 (Ln= Y 1-Y, Ce 1-Ce, La 1-La;
Cp*= η5-C5Me5) and Me2Si (η5-C5Me4) 2LnCH (SiMe3) 2 (Ln= Ce 5-Ce) with 1-methylalk …

We theoretically investigated here how to stabilize a new transition metal η3-silapropargyl/
alkynylsilyl complex CpL2M (η3-R22SiCCR1)(M= W or Mo; L= CO, PMe3, or PF3; Cp …

The μ-η3-allenyl/propargyldipalladium complexes were synthesized by the reaction of the
corresponding η1-allenyl-or η1-propargylpalladium complexes with Pd2 (dba) 3. The X-ray …

The palladium‐catalyzed reaction of propargylic carbonates with Meldrum's acid derivatives
proceeds smoothly in the presence of Pd (OAc) 2 and P (2‐furyl) 3 in THF at 80° C to give …

Following the discovery of an unusual transition-metal-catalyzed reaction, the elucidation of
the underlying mechanism is essential to understand the characteristic reactivity of the …

PMe3 adds selectively to the central carbon of the η3-propargyl complex [C5Me5 (CO) 2Re
(η3-CH2C CCMe3)][BF4](1-t-Bu) to form the metallacyclobutene [C5Me5 (CO) 2Re (CH2C …

Reactions of each Cp2Zr (Me) Cl and Cp2ZrCl2 with PhC CCH2MgBr afford the η3-
