The molybdenum and tungsten complexes M2(OR)6 (Mo2F6, M = Mo, R = C(CF3)2Me; W2F3, M = W, R = OC(CF3)Me2) were synthesized as bimetallic congeners of the highly active alkyne metathesis catalysts [MesC≡M{OC(CF3) n Me3− n }] (MoF6, M = Mo, n = 2; WF3, M = W, n = 1; Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl). The corresponding benzylidyne complex [PhC≡W{OC(CF3)Me2}] (W Ph F3) was prepared by cleaving the W≡W bond in W2F3 with 1-phenyl-1-propyne. The catalytic alkyne metathesis activity of these metal complexes was determined in the self-metathesis, ring-closing alkyne metathesis and cross-metathesis of internal and terminal alkynes, revealing an almost equally high metathesis activity for the bimetallic tungsten complex W2F3 and the alkylidyne complex W Ph F3. In contrast, Mo2F6 displayed no significant activity in alkyne metathesis.
