| Ruthenium based olefin metathesis catalysts provide new routes to olefins that appear in a variety of structures. Their functional group tolerance and ease of use allow their application in the synthesis of multifunctional bioactive molecules and new materials ranging from multifunctional polymers to supramolecular systems. Underlying these developments has been the discovery of active catalysts with controlled selectivity resulting from the design and synthesis of new ligands. |
