TLDR
This survey of the relevant literature summarises past and present developments in the use of light to expedite olefin ring-closing, ring-opening polymerisation and cross-metathesis reactions.
Abstract
Light activation is a most desirable property for catalysis control. Among the many catalytic processes that may be activated by light, olefin metathesis stands out as both academically motivating and practically useful. Starting from early tungsten heterogeneous photoinitiated metathesis, up to modern ruthenium methods based on complex photoisomerisation or indirect photoactivation, this survey of the relevant literature summarises past and present developments in the use of light to expedite olefin ring-closing, ring-opening polymerisation and cross-metathesis reactions.

Light guided chemoselective olefin metathesis reactions

TL;DR: In this article, photo-induced olefin metathesis reactions based on photoactive sulfur-chelated ruthenium benzylidene catalysts were studied in chemoselective chromatic orthogonal pathways, and the lessons learned during the development of these reactions have given birth to selective photodeprotection sequences and novel pathways for stereolithographic applications.

cis/trans Coordination in Olefin Metathesis by Static and Molecular Dynamic DFT Calculations

TL;DR: In this article, a simple olefin, like ethylene, is shown to be prone to the trans binding of the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, and this insight helps to construct small alkene substrates with increased reactivity.
