Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism and Activity of Ruthenium Olefin Metathesis Catalysts
TL;DR: The origins of the observed substituent effects as well as the implications of these studies for the design and implementation of new olefin metathesis catalysts and substrates are discussed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutral, single-component nickel (II) polyolefin catalysts that tolerate heteroatoms
Todd Ross Younkin,Eric Connor,Jason I. Henderson,Stefan K. Friedrich,Robert H. Grubbs,Donald A. Bansleben +5 more
TL;DR: A family of catalysts has been developed whose members are tolerant of both heteroatoms and less pure starting materials, and which produce high-molecular-weight polyethylene, polymerize functionalized olefins, and require no cocatalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Olefin-metathesis catalysts for the preparation of molecules and materials (Nobel Lecture)
TL;DR: This is a story of the exploration of the olefin-metathesis reaction, a reaction that has been the major emphasis of my independent research and contributed to oleFin metathesis becoming the indispensable synthetic tool that it is today.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ring-Closing Metathesis and Related Processes in Organic Synthesis
TL;DR: The transition metal alkylidene-catalyzed olefin metathesis reaction and the related transition metal-mediated carbonyl olefination reaction are two such processes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene by a Group VIII carbene complex in protic media
TL;DR: In this paper, an Ru(II) complex with a strained olefin was used to produce a carbene species that polymerizes norbornene in organic media both in the absence and presence of protic/aqueous solvents.
