open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Organometallic_chemistry/bhqFz2P0">organometallic chemistry</a>, a transition metal alkyne complex is a <a href="/facts/Coordination_compound/1tCyeQUm">coordination compound</a> containing one or more alkyne <a href="/facts/Ligand/6etB3qeW">ligands</a>. Such compounds are intermediates in many catalytic reactions that convert alkynes to other organic products, e.g. <a href="/facts/Hydrogenation/l7EzNSA7">hydrogenation</a> and <a href="/facts/Alkyne_trimerization/7pDT3SKB">trimerization</a>. </p>
