The authors describe the Piers' catalysts and detail latest progress in olefin-metathesis catalyst technology. Olefin metathesis provides an efficient method for the construction of carbon-carbon ...

The bonding-partner switcheroo that happens in metathesis reactions has been a boon for molecule makers. Chemists who made crucial discoveries in olefin metathesis even won the Nobel Prize in ...

A patent dispute playing out in a U.S. court pits the discovery of 2005 Nobel Prize winner Robert H. Grubbs of Caltech and coworkers against a prominent chemical firm and Technical University of ...

Two decades after the “development of the metathesis method in organic synthesis” was honored with a Nobel Prize, this chemical transformation is in full swing across many industrial applications.

Olefin metathesis is a powerful carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction in which alkene fragments are reorganised via metal-alkylidene intermediates. In heterogeneous systems, active sites are typically ...

Robert H. Grubbs of Caltech was awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for his role in developing the intricate molecular dance called metathesis, a novel technique that makes it easier ...
