The synthesis, characterization and metathesis reactivity of compounds (with at least one pendant alkene group) of iron, ruthenium and iridium

This thesis reports on the synthesis, characterisation and metathesis reactivity studies of (i) ruthenium and iron mono(alkenyl) complexes of the type LM(COh{(CH2)nCH=CH2} (M = iron or ruthenium, L = l1s-C sHs or l1 s-CS(CH3)s and n = 2 - 6), 41 - 51; (ii) iridium complexes of the type Cp*Ir(CI)2{PPh2(CH2)mCH=CH2} (m = 2 - 4 and 6), 69 - 72; and (iii) bis(alkenyl) acyl complexes of the type CpFe(CO){C(O)(CH2)nCH=CH2}{PPh2(CH2)mCH=CH2} (n = 3 - 4, m = 3, 4 and 6), 62 - 65.
