Robert H. Grubbs coauthored template-directed ring-closing metathesis research. Coordination to a template can bring reactive ends of a polyether-containing chain into an arrangement favourable for ring formation.
This connects catalysis with molecular preorganization: a template changes the accessible geometry, while a metathesis catalyst carries out bond reorganization.[ref]
