How To Use metathesis In A Sentence
- I am not of Paracelsus's mind, that boldly delivers a receipt to make a man without conjunction; yet cannot but wonder at the multitude of heads that do deny traduction, having no other arguments to confirm their belief than that rhetorical sentence and antimetathesis [I. 51] of Augustine, "creando infunditur, infundendo creatur. Religio Medici, Hydriotaphia, and the Letter to a Friend
- By the mid 1980's we had developed what I call well-defined catalysts for both the olefin and acetylene metathesis reactions that contained sterically protecting imido and/or alkoxide ligands. Richard R. Schrock - Autobiography
- This reaction has become synthetically useful since the discovery of various well-defined transition metal carbene complexes which can catalyse alkene metathesis.

- They have become the first well-defined catalysts for general use in metathesis in ordinary laboratories, and new visions of the opportunities of organic synthesis have emerged from their use. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2005: Presentation Speech
- Although metallacyclopentanes are not important in olefin metathesis, they have been found to be important in a variety of other olefin dimerization reactions. Robert H. Grubbs - Autobiography
