NOVEL STABLE AND HIGHLY TUNABLE METATHESIS CATALYSTS

摘要

The present invention relates to catalytically active compounds of the general formula (1) that are highly tunable, as well as to a method of their preparation and their use in any type metathesis reaction. The new compounds of the present invention comprise activation sites that allow for specific catalyst design. Particularly, side chains and ligands allow efficient activity and specificity control of the catalysts of the present invention.
