Abstract

Here we report a new family of indol-2-ylidene (IdY)-ligated Ru-based olefin metathesis catalysts (Ru−IdY) and their X-ray crystal structures which show a unique conformation of the ruthenium environment. Catalytic activities of Ru−IdY catalysts were investigated for ring-closing metathesis, ring-opening metathesis polymerization, and ethenolysis, which show excellent turnover numbers (TONs).
