Water-stable catalyst could bring carbon-bond chemistry closer to use in living cells

Olefin metathesis is one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry for forming carbon–carbon bonds—for example, in the production of pharmaceuticals, plastics and complex natural products. However, previous ruthenium catalysts that enable this reaction have faced a maj This story matters for Science & Discovery readers tracking science. Reported by phys.org.
