Many industrial catalysts contain isolated metal sites on the surface of oxide supports.
Although such catalysts have been used in a broad range of processes for more than 40 …

Advanced applications of the Nobel Prize winning olefin metathesis reaction require user‐
friendly and highly universal catalysts. From many successful metathesis catalysts, which …

The state‐of‐the‐art in olefin metathesis is application of N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐
containing ruthenium alkylidenes for the formation of internal C= C bonds and of cyclic alkyl …

The desire to utilise biobased feedstocks and develop more sustainable chemistry poses
new challenges in catalysis. A synthetically useful catalytic conversion is ethenolysis, a …

The second‐generation Grubbs catalyst, RuCl2 (H2IMes)(PCy3)(= CHPh)[GII; H2IMes= 1, 3‐
bis (2, 4, 6‐trimethylphenyl)‐4, 5‐dihydroimidazol‐2‐ylidene, Cy= cyclohexyl], is shown to …

This review describes a distinct class of ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts featuring
unsymmetrical N‐heterocyclic carbene (uNHC) ligands, from its historical beginning to the …

The new approach to the anticancer agent rhizoxin D described herein does not cohere with
the conventional logic of metathesis, according to which macrocycles are best closed at a …

Catalyst encapsulation is examined as a means of increasing the productivity of olefin
metathesis catalysts. Commercially available, cationic ruthenium metathesis catalysts were …

The development of selective olefin metathesis catalysts is crucial to achieving new
synthetic pathways. Herein, we show that cis‐diiodo/sulfur‐chelated ruthenium …

A trifluoromethyl sulfur‐chelated ruthenium benzylidene, Ru‐S‐CF3‐I, was synthesized and
characterized. This latent precatalyst provides a distinct activity and selectivity profiles for …
