9. 11 bipy and terpy complexes bearing two bis(4-pyridylacetylene) moieties appears to occur via indirect population of the alkyne π-radical anion, with the bpy complexes being the more polymerizable. These complexes are less sterically hindered than those described herein but the polymerization mechanism, especially under oxidative conditions, has not been clarified. See ref 5 for details.

Coordinates for the parent metal bpy and terpy complexes are available from the Cambridge data bank while the X-ray crystal structure of an alkyne-bridged, terpy-based ditopic ligand was recently acquired in our laboratory.
