Conspectus Metal-bonded carbon atoms in metal–alkyl, metal–carbene/alkylidene, and
metal–carbyne/alkylidyne species often show significantly more deshielded isotropic …

Several new C–H-activated ruthenium catalysts for Z-selective olefin metathesis have been
synthesized. Both the carboxylate ligand and the aryl group of the N-heterocyclic carbene …

The second-generation Grubbs catalyst contains N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) coordinated
to Ru center. Various such complexes have been employed as catalysts for the olefin …

While the fundamental series of [2+ 2] cycloadditions and retro [2+ 2] cycloadditions that
make up the pathways of ruthenium-catalysed metathesis reactions is well-established, the …

Grubbs–Hoveyda-type complexes with variable 4-R (complexes 1: 4-R= NEt2, O i Pr, H, F,
NO2) and 5-R substituents (complexes 2: 5-R= NEt2, O i Pr, Me, F, NO2) at the 2-isopropoxy …

The bulk properties of a copolymer are directly affected by monomer sequence, yet efficient,
scalable, and controllable syntheses of sequenced copolymers remain a defining challenge …

Strategic positioning of a silyl group on the diene unit of a diene-ene substrate allows
rigorous regio-and stereocontrol to be exerted during metathesis-based macrocyclization …

Olefin metathesis is a powerful tool for the formation of carbon–carbon double bonds.
Several families of well-defined ruthenium (Ru) catalysts have been developed during the …

Ruthenium-catalysed ring-closing metathesis (RCM) is a powerful technique for the
preparation of medium-to-large rings in organic synthesis, but the details of the intimate …

In this comprehensive review the developments in the synthesis, characterization and
reactivity of complexes (s-, d-and f-block) in which a C–C single bond interacts with a metal …
