TY - JOUR AU - Köhn, Randolf D. AB - Spin blocking: Facile reductive C–H elimination is a key step in chromium‐catalyzed selective trimerization of olefins. The direct conversion (see scheme) is prevented by the change in spin states. This Highlight also describes the latest advances in the mechanistic understanding of the catalytic trimerization with a focus on spin states.
