What are the Challenges Associated with Trigonal Bipyramidal Catalysts?
Despite their advantages, catalysts with trigonal bipyramidal geometry also face several challenges. One major issue is the potential for geometric distortion under reaction conditions, which can lead to a loss of catalytic activity or selectivity. Additionally, the synthesis and stabilization of these catalysts can be complex and costly. Researchers are actively exploring ways to overcome these challenges by developing new ligand frameworks and employing advanced characterization techniques to better understand and control the behavior of these catalysts.
