Protonation of the dienyl carbanion formed by reduction of a linear dienone may occur at a carbanion center either p or S to the carbonyl group as is implied by the resonance structures shown below ... 

The Pauson-Khand reaction gives the same product as the group 4 metal-mediated reductive coupling and carbonylation, and both reactions proceed by essentially the same mechanism formation of an alkyne-metal tt complex, insertion of an alkene, insertion of CO, and reductive elimination. Some details differ, however. When an alkyne is added to Co2(CO)g, CO evolves, and an isolable, chromatographable alkyne-Co2(CO)6 complex is obtained. This butterfly complex contains four Co(II)-C bonds, and the Co-Co bond is retained. The formation of the alky n e-C o2 (C O) 6 complex involves the formation of an ordinary tt complex of the alkyne with one Co(0) center, with displacement of CO. The tt complex can be written in its Co(II) cobaltacyclopropene resonance structure. The tt bond of the cobaltacyclopropene is then used to form a tt complex to the other Co center with displacement of another equivalent of CO. This second tt complex can also be written in its cobaltacyclopropene resonance structure. The alkyne-Co2(CO)6 complex has two 18-electron Co(II) centers.
