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.

Regioselective Chromatic Orthogonality with Light‐Activated Metathesis Catalysts

TL;DR: The coupling of two photochemical reactions is described, one the photoisomerization and consequent activation of a sulfur-chelated latent olefin-metathesis catalyst and the other the photocleavage of a silyl protecting group at 254 nm, which demonstrates the selective formation of either five- or six-membered-ring frameworks by light-triggered ring-closing metathesis.

Synthesis and Catalytic Properties of Sulfur-Chelated Ruthenium Benzylidenes Bearing a Cyclic (Alkyl)(amino)carbene Ligand

TL;DR: In this paper, the steric bulk of the CAAC ligand by using different substitution patterns was shown to affect the geometry of the complexes produced and determined whether the complexes could be catalytically dormant.
