Abstract
) mixture, in methanol (with water additives) serving as a reaction medium and a proton donor, and using sodium or europium amalgams as reducing agents, was performed in the presence of 2. Preliminary kinetic studies evidently point to a catalytic function of molybdenum species derived from 2, thus establishing the observed reactivity as a rare example of non-precious metal-catalyzed acetylene hydrogenation, providing, in addition, a convenient model for further mechanistic studies.
