Dramatic differences are found in the temperatures at which Bergman cyclizations occur when Mo IV –enedithiolate–enediyne complexes are used (see scheme; S: yellow, Mo: red), and this can be directly attributed to a long‐range electronic polarization effect of the metal center. Ligand‐to‐metal charge transfer within the C 2 S 4 substructure and differential charge repulsion in the transition state lead to a lowering of the barrier to cyclization.
