Cazin Received: 20 March 2015 / Accepted: 27 April 2015 / Published online: 20 May 2015 Springer-Verlag Wien 2015 Abstract In this short review, we focus on the synthesis Introduction and applications of new phosphite-bearing ruthenium complexes in olefin metathesis. These complexes were Olefin metathesis represents one of the most important designed to take advantage of a known synergistic effect tools in organometallic chemistry and catalysis [1–7]. Its between strong r-donating NHC ligands and p-acidic relevance is highlighted by its increasing importance at the phosphites. The resulting catalysts display higher stability industrial level. In addition, the award of the Nobel Prize in compared to their phosphine-containing congeners. A 2005 to Y. Chauvin, R. H. Grubbs, and R. R. Schrock for comparative summary of their use in ring-closing their respective involvement in the discovery of olefin metathesis, cross metathesis, and ring-opening metathesis metathesis, showcases its significance [8–10]. Since their polymerization, as well as DFT calculations describing our pioneering work on molybdenum (Schrock) and ruthenium mechanistic understanding, are presented. (Grubbs) catalysts, numerous studies have been performed to enhance the activity
