Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>An air‐stable, dimeric, crystalline molybdenum propylidyne complex is activated by alcohol to initiate ring‐opening alkyne metathesis polymerization (ROAMP) of cyclooctynes, as reported by C. Nuckolls and co‐workers in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 4591 ff.</ext-link> A mononuclear alcohol adduct was identified by NMR and kinetic studies as a key intermediate in the formation of metathesis‐active species. The ROAMP reaction tolerates air, water, and phenolic substrates. Picture design: D. W.
