Currently, the chemistry of organofluorine compounds is a leading and rapidly develo**
area of organic chemistry. Fluorine present in a molecule largely determines its specific …

Ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts are one of the most commonly used class of catalysts.
There are multiple reviews on their uses in various branches of chemistry and other …

Herein, we report a new application of the prize-winning Grubbs catalysts, which have been
widely applied for olefin metathesis, for hydrogen production from aqueous-phase methanol …

Ethylene is the byproduct of olefin metathesis reactions that involve one or more terminal
alkenes. Its volatility is one reason why many cross‐metathesis or ring‐closing metathesis …

The correlation between rapid initiation and rapid decomposition in olefin metathesis is
probed for a series of fast-initiating, phosphine-free Ru catalysts: the Hoveyda catalyst HII …

Water is ubiquitous in olefin metathesis, at levels ranging from contaminant to cosolvent. It is
also non-benign. Water-promoted catalyst decomposition competes with metathesis, even …

While Mn-catalyzed (de) hydrogenation of carbonyl derivatives has been well established,
the reactivity of Mn hydrides with olefins remains very rare. Herein, we report a Mn (I) pincer …

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) utilizing Grubbs' third-generation catalyst
((H2IMes)(Cl) 2 (pyr) 2RuCHPh) shows the characteristics of living polymerizations …

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) metal complexes have gained an incredible amount of
attention in the course of the last two decades and have become indispensable as an …

Although computational contributions to the understanding of organometallic homogeneous
catalysts have become fairly routine, a step‐change in the application of computational …
