Ruthenium-based heterocyclic carbene-coordinated olefin metathesis catalysts.
TL;DR: The fascinating story of olefin (or alkene) metathesis began almost five decades ago, when Anderson and Merckling reported the first carbon-carbon double-bond rearrangement reaction in the titanium-catalyzed polymerization of norbornene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Living ring-opening metathesis polymerization
TL;DR: A review of living ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) reactions can be found in this article, along with a discussion of state-of-the-art catalysts for use in living ROMP reactions as well as opportunities for the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts bearing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands.
TL;DR: N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, introduced as analogues to phosphines, are recently getting wide attention in the design of diverse homogeneous catalytic systems, and the recent introduction of NHCs is introduced.
