What are the Challenges in Aqueous Phase Catalysis?
Aqueous phase catalysis faces several challenges, including:
- Stability of Catalysts: Catalysts may degrade or leach in the aqueous environment. - Activity and Selectivity: Achieving high catalytic activity and selectivity can be difficult due to the complex nature of aqueous systems. - Compatibility with Substrates: Not all substrates are soluble or stable in water, limiting the scope of reactions.
