Abstract
The substantial kinetic barrier to molybdenum nitride-alkyne metathesis is facilitated by precomplexation of the borane Lewis acid B(C6F 5)3, providing convenient access to metathesis-active molybdenum alkylidynes. Spectroscopic and X-ray structural analysis suggest MoN bond weakening upon borane complexation.
