Olefin Metathesis Catalysis Data for a Latent Ruthenathiete Complex

A first-of-its-kind four-membered sulfur chelate ruthenium complex demonstrates latency in olefin metathesis reactions. The dataset contains reactivity benchmarks from ring-closing metathesis, cross-metathesis, and ring-opening metathesis polymerization reactions in deuterated chloroform and toluene. Alec B. Pabarue published the data on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking catalyst latency based on reaction conditions and solvent types mentioned in the description
• Studying the role of H−π interactions in complex stability as proposed in the description
• Comparing reactivity of 4-membered chelate complexes to 5-membered analogs referenced in the literature

Strengths

• Data describes a first-reported four-membered sulfur chelate ruthenium complex.
• Reactivity was benchmarked across three specific metathesis reaction types: ring-closing, cross-metathesis, and ring-opening polymerization.
• Experiments were conducted in two specified solvents: deuterated chloroform and toluene.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 2.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
