The tremendous success of the metathesis reaction over the last decade is reflected in its huge impact on organic, polymer, and organometallic chemistry. It is highly reliable and produces few by-products, making it environmental friendly. Beside its academic use, many industrial applications in petrochemistry, agro- and pharmachemistry, as well as in the field of fine chemicals and material science have been developed and further underscore the importance of this fascinating reaction.
