The Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst is a more reactive form of the 1st generation catalyst and is prepared in the same way. It is however oxygen and water sensitive so is generally used under a nitrogen or argon atmosphere.

The IUPAC name of the Second Generation Catalyst is benzylidene[1,3- bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2- imidazolidinylidene]dichloro(tricyclohexylphosphine)ruthenium
