Novel ruthenium carbene complexes bearing unsymmetrical NHC-ligands based on N-alkyl-NA '-arylimidazoline with hexafluoroisopropylmethoxy group in para-position of N-aryl moiety have been synthesized. Catalytic activity of complexes obtained was investigated on model reactions of intra- and intermolecular olefin metathesis.
