Abstract

The substantial kinetic barrier to molybdenum nitride–alkyne metathesis is facilitated by precomplexation of the borane Lewis acid B(C6F5)3, providing convenient access to metathesis-active molybdenum alkylidynes. Spectroscopic and X-ray structural analysis suggest Mo[triple bond, length as m-dash]N bond weakening upon borane complexation.
