Molecular gyroscopes comprised of metal centers encased by cage-like dibridgehead diphosphines have been synthesized utilizing alkene metathesis. Dibridgehead diphosphines themselves are accessible either by extruding the metal from the gyroscope or by a completely metal-free approach. Herein alkene metathesis was the key step again.
