description

Through a proton-transfer reaction a porphyrinogen assists the transformation of terminal acetylenes into Ru-vinylidenes, which are the entry point to a variety of Ru-carbenes and Ru-cumulenes. The scheme (in which the porphyrinogen is stylized) shows the reversible interconversion of an acetylide into a divinylidene unit.
