Fundamental mechanistic studies have resulted in a family of ruthenium based catalysts have been developed for the metathesis of olefins. A DOE/Cargill/Caltech/Materia,Inc. research agreement has just been initiated for the use of these catalysts for the conversion of the renewable resource, Seed Oils, into products normally produced from petroleum based materials. A new material will be introduced in the next few months as a commodity product.

Fundamental mechanistic studies have resulted in a family of ruthenium based catalysts have been developed for the metathesis of olefins. These catalysts can be used in the preparation of a variety of polymers, materials and small molecules. The chemistry is now being used to produce a number of pharmaceuticals by ring closing metathesis that are now in phase II trials.

Fundamental mechanistic studies have resulted in a family of ruthenium based catalysts have been developed for the metathesis of olefins. These catalysts can be used in the preparation of a variety of polymers, materials and small molecules. On example of the application in materials is a composite wood-ROMP polymer bat that is now commercialized by Easton Sports. This application demonstrates the environmental tolerance and robustness of the chemistry.
