Alcohol is the answer! An inactive, air‐stable, dimeric molybdenum alkylidyne complex is activated toward ring‐opening alkyne metathesis polymerization (ROAMP) by the addition of methanol. The ROAMP is compatible with water and phenol‐containing substrates and with the in situ photochemical generation of alkyne monomers from cyclopropenones.
