Early metal gets the H : Under 1 atm of H 2 , the vanadium complex 1 (PFTB=perfluoro‐ tert ‐butoxide) catalytically semihydrogenates alkynes to Z alkenes. Synthetic and DFT studies, in combination with H 2 /D 2 and NMR experiments, indicate that H 2 is activated by 1,2‐addition to 1 . Upon insertion of an alkyne into the VH bond of A , the product alkene and 1 are generated by the 1,2‐α‐NH‐elimination of the alkenyl ligand.
