Chapter 1 details the synthesis of tungsten imidoalkylidene compounds bearing strongly electron-withdrawing imido ligands. An alternative synthesis involving th
Recently, the synthesis of neutral and cationic group(VI) imido/oxo alkylidene N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes that tolerate protic functional groups and
The field of olefin metathesis has seen considerable growth in the recent past. Some of the earliest milestones in the field include the synthesis of well-defin
Chapter 1 describes work toward solid-supported W olefin metathesis catalysts. Attempts to tether derivatives of the known Z-selective catalyst W(NAr)(C3H6)(pyr
