What Are the Challenges in Alkene Coordination Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, there are several challenges:
- Selectivity: Controlling the selectivity of the reaction, especially in complex molecules. - Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts can deactivate due to various side reactions or accumulation of by-products. - Cost: Transition metals like palladium and platinum are expensive, and finding cheaper alternatives is a major research goal.
