A series of ruthenium catalysts bearing five-membered chelating NHC architectures that exhibit very high Z -selectivity in a variety of metathesis reactions have recently been reported. It was envisioned that catalysts possessing sixmembered chelates could similarly exhibit high Z -selectivity and address limitations of this methodology. We thus prepared a number of new catalysts and systematically investigated the impact of the NHC and anionic ligand on their stereoselectivity. In standard metathesis assays, only catalysts containing six-membered chelated NHC structures and η 2 -bound anionic ligands favored the Z -olefin products compared to traditional ruthenium catalysts. In addition, substitution with bulkier N -aryl groups led to improved Z -selectivity. The effect of ligand structure on stereoselectivity discovered in this study will be useful in the future design of highly active and Z -selective ruthenium catalysts.
