The Milstein's reported discovery of hydrogenation of thioesters directly toward thiols and
alcohols catalyzed by a Ru-acridine complex has been studied here by DFT calculations to …

Formation of tetrasubstituted C–C double bonds via olefin metathesis is considered very
challenging for classical Ru-based complexes. In the hope to improve this condition, three …

This study details homogeneous olefin metathesis in water catalysed by a di-ammonium
functionalised Ru-alkylidene complex. A facile gram scale synthesis of an air stable catalyst …

A general synthetic route was used to prepare 15 new N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)–AgI
complexes bearing anionic carboxylate ligands [Ag (NHC)(O2CR)], including a homologous …

Ru-alkylidenes bearing sterically demanding arylthiolate ligands (SAr) constitute one of only
two classes of catalyst that are Z-selective in metathesis of 1-alkenes. Of particular interest …

A sulfur‐chelated photolatent ruthenium olefin metathesis catalyst has been equipped with
supersilyl protecting groups on the N‐heterocyclic carbene ligand. The silyl groups function …

This is a review of papers published in the year 2015 that focus on the synthesis, reactivity,
or properties of compounds containing a carbon-transition metal double or triple bond …

During a Ru-catalyzed reaction of an olefin with an alkylidene moiety that leads to a
metallacycle intermediate, the cis insertion of the olefin can occur from two different …

The nature of the Ru bonding environment in a set of Grubbs catalysts has been studied by
means of density functional theory (DFT). On the one hand, for a set of 20 [Ru (═ …

Second-generation ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts bearing aminophosphine ligands
were investigated with systematic variation of the ligand structure. The rates of phosphine …
