Metathesis Chemistry

The textbook "Metathesis Chemistry" provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments in the field of metathesis reactions, which are of great importance in organic and polymer chemistry research. It is based on contributions from a significant scientific event, the NATO Advanced Study Institute, held in Antalya in 2006. In this book, leading scientists, early-career researchers, and students come together to discuss current trends and future perspectives in olefin metathesis. The collected works include plenary lectures, short communications, and posters that highlight the diversity of applications and the significance of these reactions in materials science and technology. Olefin metathesis, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2005, has established itself as one of the most efficient methods for synthesizing fine chemicals and functionalized polymers developed for specific applications such as sensors and microelectronics.
