This short review summarizes recent advances relating to the application of ring-closing
olefin-olefin and carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions towards the synthesis of unsaturated …

Vicinal diamines are ubiquitous materials in organic and medicinal chemistry. The direct
coupling of olefins and amines would be an ideal approach to construct these motifs …

Rh–N-heterocyclic carbene compounds [Rh (μ-Cl)(IPr)(η2-olefin)] 2 and RhCl (IPr)(py)(η2-
olefin)(IPr= 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) imidazol-2-carbene, py= pyridine, olefin …

We report the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity of a series of electron-rich,
phosphine-free complexes featuring multiple N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, namely …

Olefin metathesis is a powerful tool for the formation of carbon–carbon double bonds.
Several families of well-defined ruthenium (Ru) catalysts have been developed during the …

A redox-switchable ligand, N, N′-dimethyldiaminocarbene [3] ferrocenophane (5), was
synthesized and incorporated into a series of Ir-and Ru-based complexes. Electrochemical …

Density functional theory calculations have been used to investigate the activation steps
involving three of the most used alkylidene groups in Ru-catalysts for olefins metathesis …

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to predict and rationalize the effect of
the modification of the structure of the prototype 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) imidazol-2 …

An efficient procedure is described for ring‐closing metathesis reactions. A conversion of
