The reactions of scorpionate-anchored yttrium and lutetium dialkyls with terminal alkynes were investigated, and the nature of the complexes was found to depend on both the ancillary scorpionate ligand and the alkyne substituent. Reaction of (TpMe2)Ln(CH2SiMe3)2(THF) (1; Ln = Y, Lu) with the terminal alkynes HC≡CR (R = Ph, SiMe3, tBu, adamantyl (Ad)) afforded dimeric complexes. The solid-state structures, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, showed the two metal centers bridged by two asymmetric alkynyl ligands and a coupled dialkynyl ligand, the latter exhibiting the unusual enyne bonding motif: [{(TpMe2)Ln(μ-C≡CR)}2(μ-RC4R)] (Ln = Y, Lu, R = Ph (3), SiMe3 (4), tBu (5); Ln = Y, R = Ad (6-Y)). Protonolysis of complexes 3-Y and 4-Y with 2,4,6-trimethylphenol gave a 2:1 mixture of free alkyne and (Z)-enyne; however, with 5-Y and 6-Y both enyne and butatriene were obtained in addition to the free alkyne. Dissolution of dimeric 3-Lu and 4-Y in THF resulted in cleavage of the bridging units to give ...
