The synthesis of a series of four-coordinate enynylrrhodium(I) complexes was reported. Their reactions with acidic substrates to give either enynes and/or butatrienes were investigated. Different routes to prepare enynerrhodium(I) compounds by intramolecular C-C coupling were also studied. A new mechanistic pathway for the trimerization of a terminal alkyne that selectively leads to a hexadienyne derivative was presented.
