Modelling of Grubbs type precatalysts with bidentate hemilabile ligands
(North-West University, 2012)Metathesis is a valuable reaction for the production of new alkenes. In the last 50 years, heterogeneous as well as homogeneous catalysts have been used for this reaction. In the homogeneous category are the very successful ... -
On the mechanism of homogeneous alkene metathesis : a computational study
(North-West University, 2012)A mechanism for alkene metathesis has been proposed by Chauvin, wherein metal carbenes act as catalysts for the reaction. The use and discovery of Fischer-, Tebbe-, Grubbs- and Schrock-type metal carbenes have to a certain ... -
Separation of Grubbs-based catalysts with nanofiltration
(North-West University, 2008)This thesis describes the use of organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) in the field of metathesis for separating homogeneous Grubbs-type catalysts from their post-reaction mixtures for the model metathesis reaction of ...
