Phosphine phosphonate and phenoxyphosphine ligands bearing polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains are used as described herein to produce heterobimetallic catalysts. The ligands can be metallated selectively with palladium or nickel and secondary metal ions to provide well-defined heterobimetallic compounds. These heterobimetallic complexes exhibit accelerated reaction rates and greater thermal stability in olefin polymerization compared to other catalysts.

Non-d.sup.0 rhenium(V) alkylidyne catalysts useful for catalyzing alkyne metathesis reactions, such as homo- and cross-metathesis of alkynes or diynes, ring closing metathesis and ring-opening metathesis, methods or use, and preparation thereof. The catalysts are stable to air and moisture and tolerate a variety of functional groups in substrates.
