The assembly of medium sized rings (7-9) was achieved by using the metathesis of dienes linked by a cobalt hexacarbonyl complexed alkyne with either Grubbs' or Schrock's catalysts. The products of metathesis were subjected to transformations involving the dicobalt hexacarbonyl complexes, for example, decomplexation to liberate cyclic alkynes or Pauson-Khand reaction.
