Description
Tsubasa Kinugawa and co-authors synthesize a ruthenium catalyst with a selenium-bearing ligand for olefin metathesis, in a research paper from 2024. Metathesis swaps carbon double bonds and is a workhorse of synthesis. Catalyst stability and tolerance to protic solvents limit its use, so ligand tweaks that calm the metal center are of interest.
The new complex binds selenium directly to ruthenium, which raises stability over the parent catalyst. It tolerated protic solvents better in ring-closing and cross metathesis tests. Heat data show a larger role for a dissociative start to the cycle. The work shows that a coordinating atom at the ligand tip can tune catalyst behavior in a useful way.
