Easily modified : the electronic and steric properties of a ruthenium catalyst highly active for CH bond activation (see scheme) can be modified by fine‐tuning the ligand. This makes this catalytic system very versatile as it allows functionalization of a variety of substrates. The catalyst is generated in situ from a stable and easily available ruthenium(II) source.
