Almost all of the examples in the previous sections rely on ruthenium complexes that feature the same N-heterocyclic carbene ligand [1,3-bis(mesityl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene, SIMes]. The development of ruthenium complexes with alternative N-heterocyclic carbenes has enabled stereoselective ROMP, ROMP in aqueous conditions, ROMP on solid-supports, and ROMP synthesis of cyclic polymers.[8,86] Furthermore, ROMP from a ruthenium–alkylidene bound via an N-heterocyclic carbene to a gold substrate has enabled the synthesis of surface-tethered ROMP polymers where the polymers are connected to the gold surface through N-heterocyclic carbenes. Thus, modified N-heterocyclic carbenes have expanded the scope of possibilities in alkene metathesis polymerization.
