What are Future Directions in Metal Complex Catalysis?
Research in metal complex catalysis is focused on: - Developing cheaper and more abundant metals such as iron and copper to replace precious metals. - Enhancing catalyst stability and recyclability for more sustainable processes. - Designing ligands that can provide greater control over reactivity and selectivity. - Exploring heterogeneous catalysts where metal complexes are supported on solid materials to combine the benefits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.
