A method for performing an olefin metathesis or cross-coupling reaction is characterised by the catalyst system comprising: [a] a source of a d-block metal, such as Group VIII metal, iron, cobalt, copper, ruthenium, rhodium, nickel, palladium or platinum [b] optionally a promoter, an activator and/or a base, and [c] a source of a 3-membered carbocyclic ligand. Also disclosed is catalysing olefin metathesis or cross-coupling reactions, comprising the catalyst system and a method of producing the catalyst system wherein [b] optionally a promoter, an activator and/or a base is a further reagent. |
