Abstract
Developments in two seemingly unconnected fields have given rise to a new family of powerful catalysts with many applications in olefin metathesis. On the one hand, the progress made over the past decade in the synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and their complexes, as well as the catalytic applications of these systems, has been impressive. [1] [2] On the other hand, the achievements in the evolution of homogeneous catalysts for olefin metathesis have turned this reaction into a common C-C coupling process [3] with various possibilities including ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), ring-closing metathesis (RCM), acyclic diene metathesis polymerization (ADMET), ring-opening metathesis (ROM), and cross-metathesis (CM or XMET).
