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 …

A series of second-generation ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts was investigated using
a combination of reaction kinetics, X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and DFT …

Ruthenium‐mediated olefin metathesis has been widely applied for the synthesis of various
organic molecules and polymers. Inspired by the cocatalyst strategy for olefin …

Of all plastics, the most abundantly produced is polyethylene, most of which is destined for
landfills, ship** ports, and natural environments. The limited degradability and …

Ruthenium dithiolene complexes, particularly the dithiocatecholates Ru (S2C6H2-3, 6-
Cl2)(NHC)(= CHC6H4-2-O i Pr)(NHC= H2IPr, H2IMes), are an important class of olefin …

Hemilabile ligands that undergo reversible changes in denticity have long been exploited to
enable catalyst activation and to increase lifetime. However, this common description does …

A long-standing question in olefin metathesis centers on whether the “release–
return”(boomerang) mechanism contributes to the productivity of Hoveyda-class catalysts …
