Mechanism and activity of ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts: the role of ligands and substrates from a theoretical perspective

The reaction mechanism of olefin metathesis by ruthenium carbene catalysts is studied by gradient-corrected density functional calculations (BP86). Alternative reaction mechanisms for the reaction of the "first-generation" Grubbs-type catalyst (PCy(3))(2)Cl(2)Ru=CH(2) (1) for the reaction...
