Eb. Bauer et al., Olefin metatheses in metal coordination spheres: novel trans-spanning bidentate and facially-spanning tridentate macrocyclic phosphine complexes, CHEM COMMUN, (22), 2000, pp. 2261-2262
The title reaction is applied to square-planar rhodium and platinum complex
es with trans PPh2(CH2)(6)CH=CH2 ligands, and square-planar platinum or oct
ahedral tungsten complexes with trans or facial PPh[(CH2)(6)CH=CH2](2) liga
nds. Ring-closing (poly)macrocyclizations occur.
