Abstract
Catalyst encapsulation is examined as a means of increasing the productivity of olefin metathesis catalysts. Commercially available, cationic ruthenium metathesis catalysts were incorporated into a supramolecular resorcin[4]arene capsule. Encapsulation increased catalyst stability in water‐saturated toluene, delivering higher metathesis yields than the parent, non‐encapsulated Hoveyda catalyst in the same reaction medium.
