23. Zirconocene-benzyne complexes have been reported to couple with nitriles; see: (a) Buchwald, S. L.; Watson, B. T.; Huffman, J. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986,108, 7411-7413.

29. Recently, a coupling reaction of alkynes with ketones using a zirconocene-disilylacetylene complex without phosphine has been reported. However, only silylacetylenes or diphenylacetylene can be used; see: (a) Rosenthal, U.; Ohff, A.; Baumann, W.; Tillack, A.; Görls, H.; Burlakov, V. V.; Shur, V. B. J. Organomet.
