Allenes homogeneous catalysis

Acetylene and Allene Complexes Their Implication in Homogeneous Catalysis, 14, 245... 

The great importance of group VIII complexes in homogeneous catalysis has focused more attention on their insertion chemistry, but the number of authenticated insertions of monoalkenes into M-H bonds is small. Insertions of dienes and allenes are more numerous because of the greater thermodynamic stability of the product xt-allyl complexes. Some examples of insertions of complexes of group VIII are listed in Table...
