The invention relates to Schrock-alkylidene complexes comprising a phenanthroline ligand. The complexes may dissociate when subjected to a solvent and release the complex being catalytically active in an olefinic metathesis reaction without needing a Lewis acid such as zinc chloride for removing the ligand. Thus, the phenanthroline complexes are autoactivating.
