Abstract
The Grubbs' ruthenium-carbene complexes, RuCl2(=CHPh)(PR3)(2), mediate the Kharasch addition of CCl4 across olefins, and the controlled atom transfer radical polymerisation of vinyl monomers with high yields and selectivities which markedly depend on the phosphine ligands of the complex (R=phenyl, c yclopentyl, and cyclohexyl).
