This lecture discusses the origin of increased reactivity in metathesis catalysts, focusing on the role of NHC complexes and phosphine ligands. It explores how catalyst initiation rates impact the efficiency of olefin metathesis reactions, highlighting the importance of steric and electronic factors. Linear free energy correlations and the influence of ligand nature on catalyst reactivity are also covered.
