The development of controlled/living polymerization methodologies has underpinned a
rapid expanse in our understanding of amphiphilic block copolymer self-assembly. In …

Ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts are one of the most commonly used class of catalysts.
There are multiple reviews on their uses in various branches of chemistry and other …

Catalyst discovery is increasingly relying on computational chemistry, and many of the
computational tools are currently being automated. The state of this automation and the …

The field of Surface Organometallic Chemistry (SOMC) aims to blend the positive attributes
of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Significant insight into heterogeneous …

Ruthenium-based Hoveyda-type olefin metathesis catalysts bearing novel rigid spirocyclic
alkyl amino carbenes (CAACs) have been developed. They are characterized by …

Bimolecular catalyst decomposition is a fundamental, long-standing challenge in olefin
metathesis. Emerging ruthenium–cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) catalysts, which …

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) mediated by Grubbs' third-generation
catalyst [G3,(H2IMes)(Cl) 2 (pyr) 2RuCHPh] is widely used to make bottlebrush polymers by …

Ethylene is the byproduct of olefin metathesis reactions that involve one or more terminal
alkenes. Its volatility is one reason why many cross‐metathesis or ring‐closing metathesis …

The mechanism of Ru-catalyzed ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is studied
in detail using a pair of third generation ruthenium catalysts with varying sterics of the N …

Water is ubiquitous in olefin metathesis, at levels ranging from contaminant to cosolvent. It is
also non-benign. Water-promoted catalyst decomposition competes with metathesis, even …
