Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references. === This thesis reports on the synthesis, characterisation and metathesis reactivity studies of (i) ruthenium and iron mono(alkenyl) complexes of the type LM(COh{(CH2)nCH=CH2} (M = iron or ruthenium, L = l1s-C sHs or l1 s-CS(CH3)s and n = 2 - 6), 41 - 51; (ii) iridium complexes of the type Cp*Ir(CI)2{PPh2(CH2)mCH=CH2} (m = 2 - 4 and 6), 69 - 72; and (iii) bis(alkenyl) acyl complexes of the type CpFe(CO){C(O)(CH2)nCH=CH2}{PPh2(CH2)mCH=CH2} (n = 3 - 4, m = 3, 4 and 6), 62 - 65.
