Polymer‐substituted NHC ligands 31 a–b & 33 a–c for reaction catalysis by mechanochemical activation of latent catalysts. a) Activation of Ag‐NHC complexes 31 a–b enabled transesterification reactions catalysed by free carbenes and Ag+ b) polymer‐bound, Grubbs‐like Ru‐catalysts 33 a–c activated mechanochemically allowed for substrate coordination and subsequent ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) reactions.
