The Hoveyda–Grubbs catalysts, while more expensive and slower to initiate than the Grubbs catalyst from which they are derived, are popular because of their improved stability.
Hoveyda-Grubbsi katalüsaatorid, mis on kallimad ja alustavad reaktsiooni aeglasemalt kui Grubbsi katalüsaatorid, millest neid on sünteesitud, on populaarsed oma parema stabiilsuse tõttu.
