What are some challenges and future directions in Catalysis inspired by Chauvin's work?
Despite the advances brought about by olefin metathesis, several challenges remain. These include:
Developing more cost-effective and sustainable catalysts. Improving the selectivity and efficiency of catalytic processes. Expanding the scope of metathesis to include a wider range of substrates.
Future research directions inspired by Chauvin's work include the design of new catalytic systems that are more environmentally friendly and the exploration of metathesis in biomimetic and bioorthogonal chemistry.
