Ru-catalyzed metathesis of alkenes and alkynes

Details

The metathesis reaction is a molecular process involving the exchange of bonds between the two reacting chemical species, and it has been revealed as one of the most powerful tool for the synthesis of new C-C bonds, with applications spanning from the large volume synthesis of polymers to the synthesis of high value fine chemicals. Within this research line, we work in strict collaboration with experimental groups using computational techniques to screen novel catalyst architectures more rapidly, and to obtain insights that could help in the design and experimental synthesis of novel and improved catalysts.
