ROMPing around in water : Two well‐defined, small‐molecule olefin‐metathesis catalysts ( 1 and 2 ) are introduced. While they are insufficiently stable to mediate most cross‐metathesis reactions in water, these catalysts competently mediate ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and ring‐closing metathesis reactions in an aqueous environment.
