DFT calculations bring insight to internal alkyne-to-vinylidene transformations at rhodium PNP- and PONOP-pincer complexes

“…Transition metal (TM) vinylidene complexes are key species in organometallic chemistry. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] These compounds can be subjected to a variety of reactions such as hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and C-C bond formation processes. 10 The most general strategy to form TM-vinylidene complexes under facile and simple conditions is the reaction of TM complexes with alkynes.…”
