# Automated Evaluation of Ru-Based Catalyst for Olefin metathesis
This is a tool for automatic evaluation of candidate olefin metathesis catalyst with general formula (L)Ru(Y)(X)=CH<sub>2</sub>, where X and Y are covalent ligands and L is a dative ligand.

## Evaluation of Catalysts
__NB.__ The time required to evaluate a single catalyst depends on the loading on the remote workers, but is typically of few hours. To make sure you can keep the terminal session alive you may want to look into tools that allow to detach the terminal session, e.g., [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki).
To define a catalyst with general formula (L)Ru(Y)(X)=CH<sub>2</sub>, where X and Y are covalent ligands and L is a dative ligand, we use [Denoptim's graph representation](https://denoptim-project.github.io/DENOPTIM/) (there is an introductory [tutorial here](https://denoptim-project.github.io/tutorials/tutorial_1.1.html)). Such representation can be prepared in two different ways:
