Grubbs type catalyst

Grubbs type catalysts are specialized molecules used in chemistry to facilitate a process called "ring-opening metathesis polymerization" (ROMP) and other reactions involving carbon-carbon double bonds. These catalysts are based on a metal center, typically ruthenium, that can efficiently and selectively break and form double bonds in organic compounds. They enable chemists to create complex materials, such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, and advanced polymers, with precision. Grubbs catalysts are valued for their stability, ease of use, and ability to work under mild conditions, making them powerful tools in modern synthetic chemistry.
