39. Pentacarbonyl alkyne-carbene complexes and more rigid tetracarbonyl alkyne-chelated ones have also been isolated and proposed as intermediates in a bimetal-assisted intermolecular insertion, leading finally to dimerization and forming centrosymmetric chrysenes: F.

55. As suggested by one of the reviewers, the transformation of XI into XIV could also proceed via a vinylidene complex and subsequent alkenyl-vinylidene coupling. This also could explain the different product types in the reaction of 3 a with internal and terminal alkynes. However, we are not aware of such behaviour for chromium, although it is well documented for other metals, such as osmium: D. Huang, M. Oliván, J. C. Huffman, O. Eisenstein, K. G.
