Alkoxide Ligand in Olefin and Acetylene Metathesis Reactions

摘要

The use of alkoxides as ancillary' ligands in the organometallic chemistry andcatalysis of the early transition metals is reviewed. The review includes acetylene metathesis, olefin metathesis, ring-opening metathesis polymerization, and polymerization of alkynes. In all cases, well-defined initiators are employed and the polymerization process is living. jg.
