ABSTRACT
Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic alkyne polymerization results for the first trianionic pincer alkylidyne complex, [(t)BuOCO]W≡CC(CH(3))(3)(THF)(2) (6), are described. Complex 6 is a highly active catalyst for the polymerization of acetylenes and exhibits a high turnover number (4371), activity (1.05 × 10(6) g(PPA) mol(cat)(-1) h(-1)),and yield (87%) for the polymerization of 1-ethynyl-4-fluorobenzene.
