The different nature of carbene ligands is clearly demonstrated by the first ruthenium‐based complexes 1 , which contain both alkylidene and N‐heterocyclic carbene moieties. The latter exhibit a pronounced Lewis base behavior. Moreover, this difference forms the basis of the high catalytic activities of these compounds in olefin metathesis reactions.
