Selectivity can be achieved by manipulating various factors:
Catalyst Design: Tailoring the active sites and the structure of the catalyst can significantly impact selectivity. Reaction Conditions: Temperature, pressure, and solvent choice can influence the reaction pathway. Promoters and Inhibitors: Adding certain chemicals can enhance the activity towards the desired product. Support Material: The choice of support material for heterogeneous catalysts affects the dispersion and accessibility of active sites.
