Pyridine as trigger for chloride isomerisation in chelated ruthenium benzylidene complexes: implications for olefin metathesis.
The cationic pyridine adduct of a ruthenium complex bearing a chelating benzylidene and an N-heterocyclic carbene was identified as an intermediate during the activation of cis dichloro species and a novel triggering concept for olefin metathesis catalysts based on cationic species was disclosed.
